Legendary status is earned, not given. Since 1958, the Mark V has been earning its stripes with proven performance as “the world’s strongest bolt action.” From the classic beauty of the Mark V Deluxe, the technologically advanced features of the Accumark, to the custom feel of the Ultra Lightweight, there’s a Mark V that will prove itself on your next hunt. Key Features: New ergonomically designed “AA” fancy grade Claro walnut Monte Carlo stock with right side palm swell (French walnut on 460 Wby.

Mag models Mark V INTRODUCING THE NEW MARK V Featuring the first significant refinements of this classic rifle since its original introduction in 1958. The New Mark V stocks have been ergonomically enhanced with a slimmer forearm and sharper, more distinctive lines and contours. The grip diameter has been reduced, a slight right-hand palm swell has been added and overall weight reduced. The lighter weight results in increased comfort, control, quicker to the shoulder mounting, and faster target acquisition. The Mark V trigger has always been outstanding, and now we’ve made it even better with the introduction of the LXX™ Trigger. The engagement surfaces are precision ground and polished. Overall tolerances refined. A new, wider trigger face increases trigger-to-finger contact, all for a more consistent and comfortable pull. Adjustable down to 2.5 lbs., the new LXX™ Trigger will amaze you with every single round fired. The New Mark V rifles all come with our SUB-MOA accuracy guarantee. Our handlapped barrels ensure that the bullet’s flight path will be true and consistent and when combined with the enhanced shooter experience of the New Mark V, it is the best rifle you will ever purchase. Now, no matter which Weatherby rifle you choose, whether it’s an Ultra Lightweight for sheep hunting in Alaska or an Accumark for whitetails in Texas, you can trust every shot will be right on the money – guaranteed.

NEWLY STYLED STOCK: The New Mark V stocks have been ergonomically enhanced with a slimmer forearm and sharper, more distinctive lines and contours. The grip diameter has been reduced, a slight right-hand palm swell has been added and overall weight reduced. The lighter weight results in increased comfort, control, quicker to the shoulder mounting, and faster target acquisition. INTRODUCING THE LXX™ TRIGGER: The Mark V trigger has always been outstanding, and now we’ve made it even better with the introduction of the LXX™ Trigger. The engagement surfaces are precision ground and polished. Overall tolerances refined. A new, wider trigger face increases trigger-to-finger contact, all for a more consistent and comfortable pull. Adjustable down to 2.5 lbs., the new LXX™ Trigger will amaze you with every single round fired. FLUTED BOLT BODY: Features three gas ports to allow high-pressure gases to escape laterally in the event of an accidental case rupture. Longitudinal flutes reduce weight and bearing surface area while eliminating binding for smooth action. 54-DEGREE BOLT LIFT: The shortest in the industry (as compared to typical 90 bolt throw). Allows faster chambering on follow-up shots and greater bolt-to-scope clearance to eliminate battered knuckles. NTEGRAL RECOIL LUG: One-piece forged and machined receiver features integral recoil lug for the utmost in strength and structural integrity. COCKING INDICATOR: Visually indicates whether rifle is cocked or uncocked. MAGNUM 9-LUG OR STANDARD 6-LUG ACTION: The New Mark V is built to handle the pounding of powerful magnum loads. However, for those hunters who prefer non-magnum calibers, we offer the Mark V standard 6-Lug action, accommodating up to .30-06 length cartridges including the .240 Wby. Mag. Utilizing the same one-piece forged receiver design, our standard 6-Lug action is dimensionally smaller and weighs 28% less than its magnum 9-Lug counterpart providing lighter overall weight without sacrificing an ounce of strength or structural integrity.
