Weatherby are doing a mini as well.
They're doing a flush alloy floor plate option as well,that will suit me.
Next calibers to hit our shores will be the 222 and 7.66 x 39, followed by 6.5 Grendell.
221 Furball is in a long way off. :(
Timber stock ,not going to happen for awhile.
Direct quotes from OSA rep yesterday .

204Ruger is next, late Oct at best, late Nov more likely. Waiting not very patiently is I. :mrgreen:

Be a shame to see a 221Furball, now Johno's retired and all. :lol:

Got a link to the info.
Did a quick google search and a look at weatherby's site with no result. My googlefu was weak today.

Picked up my 223 HB action this morning, working out what which stock is gunna work with minimal effort.

grey lminate is a Boyd Ruger American stock, action holes spacing within a 1mm

2nd stock is a Boyds thumbhole inletted for a Zastava Mini mauser, front action screw is about 10mm more forward, both are doable, leaning toward opening up the thumbhole first.
