2015 Weatherby SA-459 Review/Patterns

[duckaholic25]

Can someone tell me where I can get this gun. I have searched far and wide.

I found one at a local gun shop. Last one and the guy said he couldn't find any more anywhere.

From that last pic I was wondering how you turn your camera on ?

Codym,
I am a lefty and shoot this gun.  I contacted Weatherby about switching the safety to the other side, and they can do it only if you send the gun back to them for about $60 or so.  I told them I had two young right-handed children that might want to turkey hunt one day and asked if they would simply sell me a trigger assembly for a lefty so I could easily switch them out.  They can also do that to the tune of $210.  Hope this helps.

I smoked one this past weekend with the SA459 and it is amazing how fast you can get back on the bird from the recoil versus a 12ga.  Lucky for the 2nd bird still standing there that I was solo, and NC does not allow 2 birds in 1 day....

Thanks brother, that's good info!

Couple more pattern pics with the 459:





Both were shot with 19g/cc #9.5

Here's a KY double from two SA-459s and TSS 9s.

OHHH, I want one, but so hard to find. Been looking for months and on several watch lists. Only 2 weeks left for spring turkey.

Ten 4. I bought a 4.0. Have been getting some great footage with 4 birds dying on video. Wish I would have had one 30 years ago.

Love the guns an tss 9s harvested 4 with the combo this year.
question? for you guys that shoot em.  Mine only shot 250 with a carlsons 575 with the big 20 xl .
and only shot 190 with the sumtoy 562..  where did i go wrong.  everyone else had way better numbers than that.  still killed everyone i shot at just curious about the numbers..

[FL-Boss]

Those numbers are when you shoot the #9?  I would think 250 ish is about right.
For reference - I shoot Fed #7, 3in 20ga, and highest I seen is about 180 - with the Carlson .575
For actually hunting, I personally like to see about 135 in the 10in @ 40yards. I will be trying a .585 Carlson soon.

I should also add, the older model SA-459 ( non vent rib) which I also had in the past seems to shoot a little higher numbers.  But who knows, that could have been the result of better Federal lot numbers back then...

[yelpaholic]

yes those numbers were all with the tss 9's.

For hunting I'd prefer a 250/250 pattern or maybe 300/200! If you're putting 250 in the 10 then nothing should be able to get through that.
