Bryant Ridge's Analysis:
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). Eventually, the Mark XXII was discontinued in 1989, but it was then resurrected in 2007 as a bolt action. Two versions of the original Mark XXII autoloader were available. One fed via a tubular magazine; the other used a box-type, detachable magazine that held 10 rounds.
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. Buyers typically regarded them as something special, and so they are often found in splendid condition.
Return Policy:
We gladly offer a 3 day unfired inspection policy from the time that the firearm is delivered to your FFL. Refunds are available for all qualifying orders.

Of blowback design, the Mark XXII autoloader features a round bolt in an alloy receiver. It operates much the same as others of its type, with a couple of exceptions. Most notably, there’s a lever at the right rear of the action that switches function from semi-auto to single shot. The rearward position is semi-auto. When switched forward, the lever stands straight up and activates an internal bolt catch. Pressing it forward releases the bolt, enabling it to feed a fresh cartridge from the magazine into the chamber, after which the rifle may be fired. The safety is housed in the action tang and falls comfortably beneath the firing-hand thumb.
