Key Features
Weatherby Mark V Action
The foundation of this rifle is the renowned Weatherby Mark V 9-lug bolt action. This robust design provides a strong, reliable lock-up, essential for handling the .280 Ackley Improved cartridge. Its smooth cycling action ensures rapid and consistent follow-up shots, critical for performance in the field. The Mark V’s precision machining contributes directly to the rifle’s inherent accuracy potential and long-term durability.
Camilla Deluxe Ergonomics
The Camilla Deluxe stock is engineered to enhance the shooter’s natural point of aim and mitigate felt recoil. Featuring a shorter length of pull, a slimmer pistol grip, and a higher comb, this design allows for improved shoulder fit and optimal eye-to-optic alignment. The result is a more comfortable and stable shooting platform, translating to increased accuracy and reduced shooter fatigue during extended sessions.
.280 Ackley Improved Chambering
Chambered in .280 Ackley Improved, this rifle capitalizes on a cartridge known for its ballistic efficiency. The Ackley Improved design offers a noticeable velocity increase and flatter trajectory compared to the standard .280 Remington, enhancing effective range without excessive recoil. This provides superior terminal performance, making it highly effective for a wide range of medium to large game.
Premium Construction
The rifle features a premium-grade Monte Carlo walnut stock, distinguished by its classic lines and functional checkering for a secure grip in varied conditions. The cold hammer-forged barrel is designed for exceptional accuracy and longevity, maintaining consistent bore dimensions under diverse thermal conditions. Metalwork is finished to resist corrosion and wear, ensuring reliability in demanding environments.
Trigger System
An adjustable, match-quality trigger system is integrated, allowing for a crisp, predictable break. This user-tunable component enables the shooter to achieve optimal trigger control, a fundamental aspect of precision marksmanship.
