Overview
The Weatherby Mark V Camilla Ultra Lightweight in .240 Weatherby Magnum is a purpose-built bolt action rifle designed for shooters demanding superior ballistic performance in a highly mobile platform. Leveraging the robust Mark V action, this rifle integrates advanced material science and ergonomic design to deliver precision and reliability critical for demanding field conditions. The Camilla designation signifies a stock configuration optimized for shooters requiring a shorter length of pull and a more compact grip.
Key Features
Mark V Action System
At its core, the Mark V Camilla Ultra Lightweight utilizes Weatherby’s legendary Mark V nine-lug bolt action, renowned for its strength, smooth operation, and rapid lock time. This proprietary system ensures consistent ignition and robust cycling, even under adverse conditions. The fluted bolt body and a 54-degree bolt lift facilitate fast, unobstructed follow-up shots while allowing for increased scope clearance. A three-position safety provides secure operation.
Camilla Stock Ergonomics
The rifle features a specially designed Monte Carlo Griptonite synthetic stock engineered for optimized shooter interface. The Camilla stock incorporates a reduced length of pull (13 inches), a slimmer pistol grip, and a raised comb, facilitating consistent and natural sight alignment for improved accuracy and comfort, particularly for shooters with smaller frames. Integrated textured grip panels ensure secure handling in all weather conditions.
Barrel & Ballistics
Chambered in the potent .240 Weatherby Magnum, this rifle is equipped with a fluted stainless steel barrel. The fluting reduces overall weight and enhances barrel rigidity, contributing to consistent accuracy. The .240 Wby Mag cartridge is celebrated for its exceptionally flat trajectory and high velocity, making it an effective choice for long-range engagements on medium-sized game. A recessed crown protects the rifling from impact damage, preserving downrange precision.
Precision Engineering
The Mark V Camilla Ultra Lightweight is assembled with meticulous attention to detail. The barrel is free-floated to prevent point-of-impact shifts due to forend pressure, and the rifle features Weatherby’s LXX Trigger, which is user-adjustable for a crisp, clean break, facilitating precision shot placement. This rifle is backed by Weatherby’s Sub-MOA accuracy guarantee at 100 yards with premium ammunition, affirming its inherent precision capabilities.
Lightweight Construction
Achieving an ultra-lightweight profile was a primary design objective. The combination of the fluted barrel, lightweight synthetic stock, and efficient Mark V action results in a rifle that is exceptionally easy to carry and maneuver in challenging terrain, mitigating shooter fatigue during extended hunts or competitive stages.
