Key Features
Mark V Action
The core of this system is the legendary Weatherby Mark V 9-lug action, renowned for its strength, reliability, and smooth cycling. The 54-degree bolt lift facilitates rapid and unobstructed operation, crucial for follow-up shots. This action is precision-machined to ensure consistent lock-up and contributes significantly to the rifle’s inherent accuracy potential.
Fluted Stainless Steel Barrel
Integrated is a 26-inch fluted stainless steel barrel with a #3 contour. This free-floating barrel is button-rifled for optimal bore consistency and features a recessed target crown to protect the rifling. The fluting enhances rigidity and optimizes heat dissipation, directly contributing to shot-to-shot consistency during extended firing sequences.
Accublock Stock System
The rifle is fitted with Weatherby’s Accublock stock, a hand-laminated, Monte Carlo style composite stock featuring an integral aluminum bedding block. This design rigidly beds the action, mitigating receiver flex and stock movement under recoil. The result is a stable shooting platform that optimizes accuracy and provides consistent point of impact.
Match-Grade Trigger
A fully adjustable, match-grade trigger system provides a crisp, clean break with minimal overtravel. This precise trigger control is paramount for achieving the rifle’s maximum accuracy potential, allowing the shooter to execute precise shot placement under varied conditions.
Left-Hand Configuration
This specific model is engineered for left-handed shooters, ensuring ergonomic and intuitive operation. The left-hand bolt and ejection port facilitate seamless manipulation, providing a natural and efficient shooting experience without compromise.
