DUANE WIEBE CUSTOM G33/40 MAUSER 280 REM

A classic, well-balanced Duane Wiebe custom rifle built on the highly regarded G33/40 Mauser action, chambered in the superb .280 Remington—a cartridge prized for its flat trajectory, mild recoil, and real-world versatility. This is Wiebe gun #0502, executed with the clean lines and disciplined craftsmanship that define his work.

The rifle is fitted with a 22½" Krieger barrel, equipped with a proper island rear sight setup—one standing (100 yards) and two folding leaves (200 & 300 yards)—paired with a hooded front sight for fast, confident use with irons. Subtle but purposeful details include an ebony forearm tip, four-panel checkered bolt, steel-capped pistol grip with trap door, and a well-proportioned cheekpiece. A leather-covered recoil pad completes the traditional presentation while enhancing shootability.

Engraving by Charles Lee adds tasteful refinement without detracting from the rifle’s working character—restrained, confident embellishment that complements Wiebe’s metalwork beautifully. Weighing 7 lbs 12 oz, the rifle carries easily yet remains steady in the hands, with a 14" LOP well suited to modern shooters.

Condition is very good to excellent, showing only light handling marks consistent with careful storage and modest use.

An outstanding custom G33/40 Mauser in .280 Remington—elegant, practical, and built by one of America’s premier rifle makers for the hunter or collector who values balance, restraint, and performance over excess.
