The Weatherby Mark V in 240 Weatherby Magnum delivers exceptional long-range performance with a precision-engineered platform built for serious hunters and precision shooters. This full-size rifle combines Weatherby's legendary magnum cartridge with modern manufacturing techniques to create a rifle that excels at extended distances.
What Makes This Different
The Mark V action features nine locking lugs instead of the typical two-lug design found in most bolt-action rifles, distributing stress more evenly and creating a stronger lockup. The fluted and threaded 26-inch barrel maximizes the 240 Weatherby Magnum's velocity potential while reducing overall weight. Graphite Black Cerakote finish provides superior corrosion resistance compared to traditional bluing, maintaining appearance and function in harsh hunting conditions.
Key Features
- 240 Weatherby Magnum chambering for flat trajectory and long-range capability
- 26-inch fluted barrel with 5/8x24 threading for suppressor compatibility
- Nine-lug bolt design for 54-degree bolt lift and enhanced strength
- Drilled and tapped steel receiver accepts standard scope bases
- Walnut stock with ergonomic grip and forend design
- 4+1 capacity with hinged floorplate magazine system
- Graphite Black Cerakote finish for maximum durability
Field performance centers on the 240 Weatherby Magnum's ability to push 100-grain bullets at over 3,400 fps, creating a flat trajectory ideal for open country hunting. The combination of barrel length and cartridge selection makes this rifle particularly effective for deer, antelope, and sheep hunting where long shots are common. The threaded muzzle allows hunters to add a suppressor or muzzle brake to manage recoil and noise signature.
