The New Weatherby Mark V Hunter Bolt Action Rifle

Weatherby announced the introduction of the new Mark V Hunter, their latest bolt action hunting rifle.

The latest edition to the Mark V line of hunting rifles, the Weatherby Mark V Hunter, is available in a wide range of Weatherby Magnum calibers as well as the classic American calibers.

Weatherby Mark V Hunter Features

Guaranteed SUB-MOA Accuracy

All Weatherby Mark V rifles are guaranteed to shoot a 3-shot group of .99” or less at 100 yards (SUB-MOA) from a cold barrel when used with Weatherby factory or premium ammunition.

TriggerTech Trigger

TriggerTech’s trigger provides true zero-creep break, extremely short over-travel, and is externally adjustable. Precision cut stainless steel components ensure consistent trigger pulls from shot to shot in a safe, reliable, and corrosion-resistant package.

Cerakote

Cerakote is the industry-leading thin-film ceramic coating. The Cerakote unique formula enhances physical properties including wear, corrosion, and chemical resistance while improving impact strengths, and hardness.

54 Degree Bolt

The shortest in the industry (as compared to the typical 90 bolt throw). Allows for faster chambering on follow-up shots and greater bolt-to-scope clearance.

Weatherby Mark V Hunter Press Release

Sheridan, WY – Weatherby, Inc.® introduces the new Mark V® Hunter to its premium bolt-action line. Bringing a wealth of chamberings to the legendary Weatherby Mark V platform, the Hunter is fitted with a freshly-designed stock that echoes the shape and ergonomics of the Mark V Backcountry 2.0 family of rifles that debuted earlier in 2021. The Hunter’s polymer stock features the same trim, flat-bottomed forend, ambidextrous palm swells and aluminum pillar construction and is finished in a Granite Speckle.

Threaded 1/2×28 for use with a suppressor or brake, the Mark V Hunter’s barreled action is sealed under a shell of Cobalt Cerakote, shielding it from the elements. A deep-fluted bolt with removable knob not only trims a little weight and helps clear dust and debris, it also reduces the bearing surface within the action resulting in smoother operation.

The Mark V Hunter is available in a wide range of cartridges, both Weatherby Magnum chamberings as well as American classics:

240 WBY MAG, 243 WIN, 25-06 REM, 257 WBY MAG, 6.5 CREEDMOOR, 6.5 WBY RPM, 270 WIN, 270 WBY MAG, 7MM-08 REM, 280 ACKLEY IMPROVED, 7MM REM MAG, 7MM WBY MAG, 308 WIN, 30-06 SPRINGFIELD, 300 WIN MAG & 300 WBY MAG

Designed to be the world’s strongest action, the interrupted thread style of lockup. Available in both Standard and Magnum action sizes, the Standard employs a six lug design while the beefier Magnum uses nine locking lugs, enabling these actions to safely chamber the hottest commercially-available cartridges on the market. Other safety features include three rings of steel around the base of the cartridge when it’s in battery, a fully-enclosed bolt shroud and three gas relief ports in the bolt body to vent pressure in the case of an ammunition failure.

With an array of new features, a stout and comfortable new stock and a hardy finish to ward off the elements, the Mark V Hunter carries an MSRP of $1,499. For purchasing information about the new Weatherby Mark V Hunter, visit weatherby.com.
