Overview
The Weatherby Mark V BC Guide in .280 Ackley Improved provides a precision bolt action rifle specifically designed for rigorous backcountry use. Integrating KFF Defense’s commitment to utility and performance, this left-hand configured rifle delivers robust construction and consistent accuracy in demanding environments.
Key Features
Mark V Action Reliability
The core of this rifle is the Weatherby Mark V action, renowned for its strength and precision. Featuring a multi-lug bolt (a 9-lug design for magnum-length cartridges like the .280 Ackley Improved), it ensures positive lock-up and enhanced safety. The short 54-degree bolt throw allows for rapid follow-up shots without obstruction from optics.
Optimized Carbon Fiber Stock
The BC Guide stock is engineered from advanced carbon fiber composites, providing a substantial reduction in carry weight without compromising structural rigidity or recoil absorption. Its design promotes comfortable handling and stable shooting positions in varied, rugged terrain.
Precision Fluted Barrel
Equipped with a 22-inch fluted barrel, this rifle achieves an optimal balance between maneuverability and ballistic performance. Fluting mitigates weight while increasing surface area for enhanced heat dissipation, critical for maintaining accuracy during extended firing sequences.
Enhanced Durability Finish
All external metal components are treated with a durable Cerakote finish, engineered to resist abrasion, corrosion, and the elements encountered in severe backcountry conditions. This ensures long-term operational integrity and maintains the rifle’s aesthetic under hard use.
Manufacturer’s Sub-MOA Guarantee
This rifle is backed by Weatherby’s guarantee of sub-Minute of Angle (MOA) accuracy at 100 yards with premium ammunition, demonstrating its inherent precision and consistent performance potential under field conditions.
Left-Handed Configuration
Specifically configured for left-handed shooters, all controls, including the bolt handle, are optimally positioned to ensure natural, efficient operation and seamless integration with the user’s shooting mechanics.
