Key Features
Mark V Action System
The heart of this rifle is the Weatherby Mark V action, renowned for its strength and reliability. This multi-lug bolt system (9-lugs for magnum calibers) employs a short 54-degree bolt throw, facilitating rapid cycling while maintaining a secure lock-up. The Mark V’s design provides a large bearing surface, enhancing structural integrity critical for high-pressure cartridges and ensuring consistent function under demanding conditions.
AccuMark Stock
The AccuMark variant features a hand-laminated, Monte Carlo composite stock. This stock is precision-bedded to ensure a consistent and stable interface between the receiver and stock, mitigating flex and contributing to repeatable accuracy. Its ergonomic profile is designed to optimize shooter comfort and control, particularly when managing the recoil impulse of magnum cartridges.
Barrel & Precision
This rifle is equipped with a 26-inch barrel, commonly free-floated and cold hammer-forged, a construction method that contributes to sustained precision across extended firing schedules. The extended barrel length is critical for maximizing the ballistic potential of the 30-378 Weatherby Magnum, ensuring high muzzle velocities and flat trajectories necessary for extreme long-range engagements.
