Overview
The Weatherby Mark V Deluxe .416 Weatherby Magnum is a purpose-built system designed for large and dangerous game applications where absolute terminal performance and reliability are paramount. This rifle integrates Weatherby’s established Mark V action with an optimized barrel profile and a classic, durable stock to provide a formidable tool for professional hunters and experienced enthusiasts.
Key Features
Mark V Action System
The core of the Weatherby Mark V Deluxe is its robust Mark V bolt action, featuring a multi-lug (9-lug) bolt design for superior strength and lockup integrity. A 54-degree bolt throw facilitates rapid cycling and minimizes interference with mounted optics. This action is engineered to reliably handle the significant pressures generated by magnum cartridges like the .416 Weatherby Magnum, ensuring operational security under stress.
Barrel Construction
The 26-inch cold hammer-forged barrel is specifically contoured and chambered for the .416 Weatherby Magnum. This manufacturing process optimizes bore concentricity and material density, contributing to consistent projectile velocity and predictable terminal performance required for large, dangerous game. The barrel length is optimized to achieve full ballistic potential from the cartridge.
Stock Design and Ergonomics
Integrated into a high-grade Monte Carlo walnut stock, the rifle’s design prioritizes recoil mitigation and shooter control. The classic checkering pattern provides a positive grip under adverse conditions, while the factory-installed Decelerator recoil pad effectively absorbs energy, enhancing follow-up shot capability and user comfort during extended range sessions. The Monte Carlo comb facilitates consistent cheek weld for repeatable sight alignment.
Trigger and Safety
The Mark V adjustable trigger system allows for a crisp, predictable break, facilitating precise shot placement critical in high-stakes hunting scenarios. A two-position safety mechanism provides a clear visual and tactile indicator of the rifle’s operational status, ensuring secure handling.
Material and Finish
The rifle features a deep blued finish on all steel components, providing a durable and corrosion-resistant surface. This finish protects against environmental factors encountered in challenging field conditions, contributing to the system’s longevity and operational integrity.
