The Weatherby Mark V Camilla Deluxe in 6.5 Weatherby RPM represents a meticulously engineered bolt action rifle designed for precision field performance. This platform integrates the robust Mark V action with an ergonomically optimized stock, providing consistent shot placement and superior handling characteristics across varied environmental conditions. Its design specifically addresses critical points of contact, enhancing shooter interface and mitigating factors that compromise accuracy.
Key Features
Mark V Action System
The core of the Camilla Deluxe is the Weatherby Mark V nine-lug bolt action, recognized for its exceptional structural integrity and rapid lock time. This action is engineered to withstand high chamber pressures, ensuring reliability and shooter safety when deploying high-performance cartridges like the 6.5 Weatherby RPM. The 54-degree bolt throw facilitates fast, unhindered cycling, reducing acquisition time on follow-up shots while maintaining a low scope clearance profile.
Ergonomic Stock Configuration
The Camilla Deluxe stock is anatomically tailored to optimize the shooter’s interface with the rifle. Constructed from high-grade walnut, it features a reduced pistol grip circumference, a shortened length of pull, and a raised Monte Carlo cheekweld. This configuration ensures consistent eye-to-scope alignment and mitigates felt recoil by promoting natural shoulder indexing, translating directly to enhanced accuracy and shooter comfort during extended sessions.
Precision Barrel
A cold hammer-forged, fluted #2 contour barrel, measuring 24 inches, is central to the rifle’s ballistic performance. This barrel is free-floated within the stock channel to eliminate pressure points, preserving optimal bore concentricity and enhancing shot-to-shot consistency. The manufacturing process ensures superior bore uniformity, crucial for maximizing the 6.5 Weatherby RPM’s inherent precision potential across varied ranges.
LXX Trigger System
The Mark V Camilla Deluxe incorporates Weatherby’s LXX adjustable trigger, factory-set to a crisp break. This user-adjustable system permits precise customization of pull weight without compromising the safety or reliability of the mechanism. A clean, predictable trigger pull is a critical interface component, directly correlating to improved precision and shooter confidence by minimizing input disruption during the shot cycle.
6.5 Weatherby RPM Caliber
Chambered in 6.5 Weatherby RPM, this rifle leverages a high-velocity, flat-shooting cartridge designed for long-range terminal performance. The 6.5mm projectile offers an optimal ballistic coefficient, enhancing downrange energy retention and minimizing wind deflection. This caliber is suitable for diverse hunting scenarios and precision engagements requiring extended effective range.
