The rifle is also fitted with a recoil-reducing muzzlebrake, which the company calls the Accubrake ST. This spreads the kick out over what amounts to milliseconds, but it’s enough to reduce what should be sharp, painful crack into a subtle push that is more than tolerable and, dare I say, comfortable. So Weatherby re-engineered the design and introduced the new 3DHex pad with an interior honeycomb structure that lengthens the duration of the rifle’s recoil.

Production innovations, coupled with Weatherby’s custom inventions, quickly earned him an industry reputation as the father of high-powered rifle cartridges. Despite outsourcing production, Weatherby continued to make custom long guns and cartridges for many years (a heritage that’s still reflected in the company’s philosophy today).
