Bryant Ridge's Analysis:
According to Weatherby, The Man. The Gun. The Legend. by Grits and Tom Gresham, Roy Weatherby started the Weatherby rimfire ball rolling in 1960. It had a long and angst-filled history. Based loosely on a Beretta design with several Weatherby-guided enhancements, the Mark XXII—as it was cleverly called—was initially built by Beretta in Italy.
Introduced at tradeshows during the winter of 1961–62, the Mark XXII garnered several thousand orders. Unfortunately, manufacturing never caught up, and the rifles that did make it to the United States had issues with function and finish. Eventually, the contract with Beretta was filled but not renewed.
Over the coming decades, manufacturing of the Mark XXII was variously contracted to KGT and Nikko in Japan (1967–80), then in the United States to Mossberg (1979–82), then back to Japan to Howa (1984–88).
One of the hang-ups in producing the Mark XXII was that Weatherby refused to accept anything less than premium quality. Highly polished barrels featured the same rich, deep bluing as Weatherby’s premium big-game rifles. Stocks were of quality walnut glowing beneath a gloss finish. Makers just weren’t accustomed to holding rimfire rifles to such standards. Manufacturing costs continually climbed, and the profitability margins of the rifle suffered.
