The rifle’s design prioritizes reliability and repeatable accuracy under diverse operational conditions.
Key Features
Weatherby Mark V Action
At the core of the Apex is the legendary Weatherby Mark V 9-Lug action. This design is recognized for its exceptional strength and rigidity, facilitating consistent lockup and precise shot placement. The reduced 54-degree bolt throw expedites cycling, allowing for rapid follow-up shots while maintaining a low profile for optics clearance. Its robust construction mitigates flex, contributing directly to the rifle’s inherent accuracy.
Cold Hammer-Forged Fluted Barrel
The 26-inch cold hammer-forged barrel is specifically contoured (#3) and fluted to optimize the .300 Winchester Magnum cartridge’s ballistic potential. This length ensures maximum velocity while the fluting reduces overall weight and enhances heat dissipation during sustained firing. The barrel is threaded 5/8-24 TPI, ready for direct integration with muzzle devices or suppressors.
LXX Trigger System
The Mark V Apex incorporates Weatherby’s LXX Trigger, engineered for a clean, crisp break. This user-adjustable trigger allows for precise tuning, minimizing shooter input error and contributing significantly to the rifle’s precision capabilities.
Synthetic Monte Carlo Stock
Featuring a durable Flat Dark Earth (FDE) synthetic Monte Carlo stock, the rifle offers a stable and ergonomic shooting platform. The stock includes textured grip areas for enhanced purchase in adverse conditions and is equipped with sling swivel studs for operational utility. The FDE finish provides environmental resistance and a non-reflective surface.
Caliber Performance Integration
The .300 Winchester Magnum chambering is perfectly complemented by the rifle’s design, providing exceptional power and flat trajectory for long-range hunting and precision shooting. The Mark V Apex is constructed to manage the magnum cartridge’s recoil effectively, ensuring consistent performance.
Durability and Finish
All metal components feature a matte Flat Dark Earth finish, aligning aesthetically with the stock and providing enhanced corrosion resistance. This cohesive finish ensures the rifle performs reliably in various environments, from arid plains to humid forests.
Precision Performance Guarantee
The Weatherby Mark V Apex is backed by the manufacturer’s SUB-MOA accuracy guarantee, ensuring that when used with premium ammunition, this rifle will produce a three-shot group of .99-inch or less at 100 yards from a cold barrel. This guarantee underscores its design for repeatable precision.
