The Weatherby Mark V BC Carbon is engineered for hunters and precision shooters who require a lightweight, robust platform capable of delivering consistent sub-MOA accuracy. This rifle integrates advanced materials and Weatherby’s proven Mark V action to provide a high-performance system for diverse field conditions.
Key Features
Mark V Action System
The core of this rifle is the Weatherby Mark V action, renowned for its strength and reliability. The 9-lug bolt design ensures a secure lockup, critical for handling high-pressure magnum cartridges like the 240 Weatherby Magnum. Its short, 54-degree bolt throw facilitates rapid cycling while maintaining a low profile for optic clearance. The integral recoil lug contributes to the system’s structural integrity and shot-to-shot consistency.
BC Carbon Stock and Barrel
The BC Carbon designation signifies significant weight reduction and enhanced rigidity. The stock is constructed from lightweight carbon fiber, optimizing the rifle’s balance and handling characteristics without compromising durability. The 22-inch barrel features a fluted, carbon fiber wrapped steel design. This construction mitigates barrel whip, improves heat dissipation during extended firing sequences, and maintains a consistent harmonic signature, all contributing to superior accuracy.
Chambering and Performance
Chambered in 240 Weatherby Magnum, this rifle leverages one of the fastest production .243-caliber cartridges available. The high-velocity, flat-shooting ballistic profile of the 240 WBY MAG provides extended effective range and minimal bullet drop. The Weatherby Mark V BC Carbon is backed by Weatherby’s sub-MOA accuracy guarantee, ensuring that groups of 0.99-inch or less are achievable at 100 yards with premium ammunition.
Integrated Components
The rifle is equipped with Weatherby’s LXX Trigger, which is user-adjustable for a clean, crisp break, enhancing precision. A specialized recoil pad is integrated into the carbon fiber stock to effectively absorb and mitigate felt recoil, allowing for improved shooter comfort and faster follow-up shot acquisition. The rifle features a matte, non-reflective finish across all metal components, minimizing glare in field environments.
