Title: Weatherby SA-459 Turkey ... any leads?
Post by: escpen on March 11, 2021, 11:29:03 AM
I have had my eye on a Weatherby SA-459 Turkey shotgun for a couple of years but had some trouble finding one.  In the late summer of 2020, I finally received a notification that stock was available but I wasn't quick enough on the uptake and they were gone by the time I went to order only a couple hours later.

Does anyone have a bead on one of these guns or a similar alternative?  I would really like a pistol grip semi-auto shotgun, preferably in 20 ga. (although 12 ga. is fine as well).

Thank you in advance for your help!

There are two on gunbroker right now brand new in box. Both are 12's and one has a buy it now of $549. Not sure if that is a good price or not though.

Also look for the TriStar Viper #24152. It's basically the exact same gun, made in the same Turkish factory as the SA-459 (I have them both) But the tristar looks better with the cerokote and bottomland finish.

Thanks all, I was really hoping to get a 20 gauge for my boys to use as they get into turkey hunting but I ended up purchasing a TriStar Viper G2 with the pistol grip AND an all black Weatherby SA-459, both in 12 Gauge (couldn't pass up the deal on the Weatherby).

Gunprime has a matte black one that is identical to the camo one for $399. I picked one up a couple weeks ago. Plan on getting mine dipped down the road. But for now it will do just fine.

Didn't see the 20 gauge part. This is a 12.

I purchased one back in March and couldn't be more happy with it. I had my dipped in mossy oak greenleaf and it turned out really good. I'm currently shooting longbeards and a sumtoy out of it.

If you want a new one I'd nab it while you can. Listed as discontinued by Weatherby
