Key Features
Mark V Action System
Incorporates Weatherby’s signature 9-lug magnum action, providing superior strength and safety for high-pressure cartridges. The 54-degree bolt throw allows for rapid cycling and maintains clearance for mounted optics. The fluted bolt body mitigates friction and debris accumulation, ensuring reliable operation under diverse field conditions.
Precision Barrel
Features a 26-inch cold hammer-forged barrel, engineered for consistent shot-to-shot accuracy and extended service life. The fluted profile reduces overall weight while optimizing heat dissipation during rapid fire sequences. A recessed crown protects the rifling from impact damage, preserving inherent precision over time.
Ergonomic Stock Design
The composite stock features Weatherby’s Griptonite inserts, providing a secure and tactile hold in adverse weather conditions. Its Monte Carlo design facilitates proper eye alignment with mounted optics. The “Live Wild” aesthetic provides a distinct visual identity, while the integrated recoil pad effectively mitigates felt recoil from the potent 6.5-300 Weatherby Magnum cartridge.
Adjustable Trigger System
Equipped with an adjustable, match-grade trigger, facilitating a crisp, predictable break. This system allows the operator to fine-tune pull weight for optimal shot control, directly enhancing precision during critical engagements.
6.5-300 Weatherby Magnum Chambering
This high-performance cartridge delivers exceptional velocities and a flat trajectory, making it suitable for long-range target work and large game at extended distances. The robust construction of the Mark V action is specifically designed to accommodate the pressures and recoil generated by this magnum cartridge.
