History

The Weatherby SA-08 was manufactured in Turkey by ATA Arms. Unlike the inertia-operated Element, the SA-08 used a gas-operated dual valve system requiring manual adjustment when switching between light and heavy loads. Available in Synthetic, Deluxe, Upland, Compact, and Entre Rios variants, the SA-08 earned a reputation for soft shooting characteristics and rugged reliability. The Compact model with 12.5" stock and 24" barrel was designed for women and youth shooters. The SA-08 has been discontinued as Weatherby focused on the simpler inertia-driven Element platform.
