Overview
The Weatherby Mark V Deluxe is a high-performance bolt action rifle designed for precision and reliability in demanding field conditions.

This combination provides a definitive advantage for hunters and precision shooters seeking an authoritative long-range platform.
Key Features
Mark V Action
The core of the Weatherby Mark V Deluxe is its legendary Mark V action. For magnum calibers, this action incorporates a nine-lug bolt, engineered for exceptional strength and structural integrity. This multi-lug design facilitates a short, 54-degree bolt throw, optimizing cycling speed and mitigating shooter movement. Precision machining of the receiver and bolt assembly ensures consistent lockup and contributes directly to the rifle’s inherent accuracy potential and long-term reliability.
Barrel System
This rifle features a 24-inch cold hammer-forged barrel. This manufacturing process enhances barrel longevity and maintains consistent bore dimensions, which are critical for precision and predictable projectile flight. The barrel length is optimized to extract maximum velocity and ballistic efficiency from the .240 Weatherby Magnum cartridge, ensuring superior downrange performance and energy delivery.
Stock & Aesthetics
The Mark V Deluxe integrates a Grade AA Fancy Walnut stock, characterized by its distinctive grain pattern and durable high-gloss finish. The classic Monte Carlo comb design provides consistent cheek weld for repeatable sight alignment, while fine-line checkering on the forend and pistol grip ensures a secure, positive acquisition and control in various environmental conditions. Rosewood caps on the forend and grip contribute to its refined profile.
Trigger & Safety System
Equipped with an adjustable Match Quality Trigger, the Mark V Deluxe allows for precise pull weight customization, enabling shooters to optimize their trigger engagement for enhanced shot placement. A three-position safety system provides secure weapon handling, allowing the bolt to be operated for safe loading and unloading while the firing pin remains blocked.
