The Weatherby Mark V Apex is engineered as a purpose-built long-range hunting instrument, integrating precision manufacturing with a lightweight, field-ready design. This platform is constructed around the proven Weatherby Mark V steel action, renowned for its strength, reliability, and consistent lock-up. The Mark V action provides a foundation for repeatable accuracy under diverse operational conditions.
Key Features
Precision Barrel System
The Apex features a 26-inch fluted barrel, meticulously finished with a two-tone Cerakote application in Coyote Tan and Graphite Black. The fluting reduces overall weight and optimizes heat dissipation during extended firing sequences, while the Cerakote finish provides superior resistance to abrasion, corrosion, and environmental stressors. This barrel configuration is designed to maintain consistent harmonic stability, contributing to the rifle’s inherent accuracy potential.
Robust Action & Capacity
At its core, the Mark V steel action delivers a smooth, positive bolt throw and secure cartridge feeding. The internal magazine accommodates 3 rounds, with an additional round in the chamber, providing a 3+1 capacity for the potent 270 Weatherby Magnum cartridge. The action’s design facilitates precise cartridge alignment and consistent primer strikes, critical for shot-to-shot consistency.
Ergonomic Stock Integration
The rifle is equipped with a lightweight stock featuring a Coyote pattern. This stock is designed to facilitate natural point of aim and recoil management, contributing to shooter comfort and precision during extended field use. Its construction is selected to mitigate overall rifle weight, aligning with the Apex’s role as a mobile, high-performance hunting rifle.
Adjustable Trigger System
Weatherby Mark V rifles typically feature an adjustable trigger system, allowing the end-user to fine-tune pull weight to optimize shot breaking for enhanced precision and consistent shot placement.
