Key Features
Mark V Action
The core of this system is the renowned Weatherby Mark V 9-lug bolt action, purpose-built for magnum cartridges. Its robust design provides superior strength and reliability, ensuring consistent lock-up and extraction under demanding conditions. The short 54-degree bolt throw allows for rapid cycling while maintaining a low scope profile. This specific model features a dedicated left-hand action, ensuring ergonomic and intuitive operation for southpaw shooters.
Barrel Configuration
Equipped with a cold hammer-forged, fluted barrel in a #2 contour, this rifle balances weight reduction with rigidity crucial for accuracy. The barrel is finished with Patriot Brown Cerakote for enhanced corrosion and abrasion resistance. A threaded muzzle (5/8-24 UNEF) allows for the integration of muzzle brakes or suppressors, mitigating recoil and muzzle rise for rapid follow-up shots and extended shooting sessions.
Stock Design
The rifle incorporates a Peak 44 Blacktooth carbon fiber stock. This advanced composite material significantly reduces overall weight without compromising structural integrity or recoil absorption. The stock features an aluminum bedding block for precise action-to-stock fit, enhancing accuracy and stability. Its ergonomic design and specialized finish provide a secure grip in adverse weather conditions.
Trigger System
Precision engagement is managed by a TriggerTech trigger, factory-tuned for a crisp, clean break. This adjustable trigger system facilitates consistent shot placement, allowing the shooter to optimize trigger pull for specific applications or personal preference.
Finish and Durability
The receiver and barrel are coated with Patriot Brown Cerakote, a high-performance ceramic-based finish that provides exceptional resistance to environmental factors, including moisture, chemicals, and impact. Component materials are selected for their durability and resistance to wear, ensuring sustained operational integrity in backcountry and high-stress scenarios.
