Key Features
Mark V Action System
At its core, the Weatherby Mark V BC Carbon utilizes the robust Mark V action. This system features a 9-lug bolt, ensuring secure lockup and operational reliability. The design facilitates smooth cycling and incorporates advanced safety mechanisms, delivering a consistent and predictable operational experience under various environmental stressors.
Carbon Fiber Composite Stock
The rifle is equipped with an advanced carbon fiber composite stock. This construction significantly reduces the overall weight of the rifle, enhancing maneuverability and reducing user fatigue during extended carry or field deployment. The composite structure also provides superior rigidity, contributing to consistent shot placement, and offers enhanced resilience against impact and environmental degradation.
Carbon Fiber Wrapped Barrel
Featuring a 22-inch carbon fiber-wrapped barrel, this rifle optimizes barrel harmonics and thermal management. The carbon fiber outer layer mitigates heat buildup during firing sequences, preserving barrel integrity and maintaining precision across multiple shots. This design also contributes to the rifle’s reduced weight without compromising accuracy potential.
Adjustable Trigger Mechanism
The trigger system is factory-tuned and user-adjustable, designed to provide a clean, crisp break. This feature enables precise trigger control, which is critical for optimizing shot placement and achieving high levels of accuracy.
.243 Winchester Chambering
Chambered in .243 Winchester, the Mark V BC Carbon leverages a cartridge known for its high velocity and flat trajectory. This makes it a highly versatile option suitable for a range of applications, from varmint control to medium game hunting, delivering effective terminal ballistics with manageable recoil.
