Key Features
Mark V Action System
The foundation of this rifle is the renowned Weatherby Mark V action, specifically configured with a 6-lug magnum bolt for enhanced strength and reliability. This system features a short, 54-degree bolt throw for rapid cycling and reduced scope interference. The integral recoil lug contributes to consistent receiver-to-stock interface, aiding in shot-to-shot precision. A three-position safety provides secure operation.
BC Carbon Fiber Construction
The “BC Carbon” designation signifies the integration of advanced carbon fiber components. The stock is a lightweight, rigid carbon fiber composite, engineered to mitigate flex and improve stability, thereby optimizing accuracy. The barrel features a carbon fiber-wrapped steel core, reducing overall weight while maintaining rigidity and aiding in heat dissipation during extended firing sequences. This construction method ensures barrel harmonics are consistently managed for precision.
.257 Weatherby Magnum Chambering
Chambered in the potent .257 Weatherby Magnum, this rifle leverages a cartridge known for its high velocity and flat trajectory. The 26-inch barrel length is specified to maximize propellant burn efficiency, translating to optimal projectile velocity and energy delivery at extended ranges. This caliber is well-suited for a variety of medium to large game applications where long-range engagement is anticipated.
Ergonomics and Handling
This rifle is configured for left-handed operators, providing a natural and efficient interface for southpaw shooters. The stock geometry is designed to facilitate consistent cheek weld and comfortable sight alignment, contributing to repeatable shot placement. The reduced overall weight enhances portability and maneuverability in varied field conditions.
