Overview
The Weatherby Mark V Apex establishes a benchmark where long-range precision converges with lightweight field utility. Engineered upon the robust Weatherby Mark V steel action, this platform optimizes performance for demanding conditions, from competitive long-range engagements to challenging field expeditions.
Key Features
Precision Action and Barrel
The foundation of the Apex is the iconic Weatherby Mark V steel action, known for its inherent strength and reliability. This action is paired with a fluted, two-toned Cerakoted barrel, designed to provide consistent accuracy while mitigating heat and reducing overall rifle mass.
Advanced Stock System
The Apex integrates the Peak 44 Bastion carbon fiber stock, recognized as one of the lightest production vertical grip carbon fiber stocks available, weighing 23 ounces. Its design incorporates an ambidextrous palm swell and a pronounced thumb groove, promoting consistent shooter interface and refined control. The forend is equipped with dual sling studs, facilitating diverse accessory attachment options for adaptable field configurations. This advanced stock design supports stable and accurate shot placement across varied positions and environmental extremes.
Optimized Recoil Mitigation
Recoil management is addressed by the second-generation 3DHEX recoil pad, an innovation in production 3D-printed pads. Internally, a matrix of interlocking voids progressively compresses during the recoil impulse, extending the duration of the recoil event. This engineered collapse dissipates sharp recoil forces inherent to magnum chamberings, optimizing shooter comfort and enhancing post-shot sight picture retention for improved downrange precision.
Enhanced Bolt Function
The bolt body features pronounced spiral fluting. This design element reduces overall mass while concurrently minimizing the bearing surface within the action, thereby facilitating demonstrably smoother bolt manipulation and reliable cycling.
Integrated Muzzle Device
Further enhancing performance, the Weatherby Accubrake ST is precision-matched to the muzzle profile. Its configuration of 30 symmetrically-spaced ports effectively harnesses and redirects propellant gases, significantly mitigating felt recoil even with powerful magnum cartridges.
