No mass produced firearm including weatherby is a great investment.Firearms depreciate much faster than most other products,especially those chambered in cartridges that are known to have short barrel lives like the weatherby magnums or the ultramags.Here in Canada an accumark sells new for around $1800 but a used one a few years old usually sells for around $1200 if it is in mint shape and less if it has marks on it or throat erosion.That amounts to a loss of $600 or more.A remington 700 that sells for $1000 new will still bring around $600 as a used rifle a few years old for a loss of $400.While both depreciated considerably the remington is still the better investment.Then again you can buy a savage kit gun with scope for around $600 new and several years later it will still sell for $300 for a loss of $300 which makes it a better investment yet.
