This rifle integrates Weatherby’s robust Mark V action with advanced materials to deliver reliable performance in challenging environments.
Key Features
Weatherby Mark V 6-Lug Action
Utilizing the scaled-down, lightweight Weatherby Mark V 6-Lug Action, this rifle provides a rapid, smooth, and positive cycling experience. The six-lug design optimizes bolt throw for magnum cartridges like the .243 Winchester, ensuring secure lock-up and consistent operation under adverse conditions. This action is renowned for its strength and reliability.
Peak 44 Carbon Fiber Stock
The BC Guide series features an ultralight Peak 44 carbon fiber stock, meticulously crafted to minimize overall rifle weight without compromising structural integrity or recoil mitigation. The ergonomic design provides a consistent and secure purchase, enhancing shot placement in dynamic field positions. Its material composition resists environmental degradation, ensuring long-term performance.
Fluted Barrel System
Equipped with a 22-inch fluted stainless steel barrel, the BC Guide balances stiffness with reduced mass. The fluting enhances heat dissipation during extended firing sequences and contributes to the rifle’s manageable carry weight. The barrel is threaded (1/2-28 UNEF) for the integration of muzzle brakes or suppressors, offering versatility for noise reduction and recoil management.
Precision Trigger System
A user-adjustable, match-grade trigger system provides a clean, crisp break, allowing for precise shot execution. This component is critical for optimizing accuracy, enabling the shooter to maintain focus on the target without anticipating trigger engagement.
Durable Cerakote Finish
Both the action and barrel are coated with a Patriot Brown Cerakote finish. This advanced ceramic coating provides superior resistance to abrasion, corrosion, and chemical exposure, crucial for maintaining the rifle’s integrity and aesthetics through rigorous use in diverse climates.
Left-Hand Configuration
Designed specifically for left-handed shooters, this rifle ensures ergonomic compatibility and unhindered bolt manipulation, facilitating faster follow-up shots and enhanced operational comfort for southpaw users.
Accuracy Guarantee
This rifle is backed by Weatherby’s SUB-MOA accuracy guarantee, ensuring that when utilizing premium ammunition, the rifle is capable of producing groups measuring 0.99 inches or less at 100 yards from a cold bore.
