The Weatherby Mark V Deluxe in 270 Weatherby Magnum delivers premium hunting performance with its fluted 26-inch barrel and high-gloss walnut stock. This bolt-action rifle combines Weatherby's legendary magnum power with refined craftsmanship for serious big game hunters.
What Makes This Different
The Mark V Deluxe features Weatherby's signature nine-lug bolt system, providing 54 degrees of bolt lift compared to 90 degrees on standard rifles. The fluted barrel reduces weight by approximately 8 ounces while maintaining structural integrity and heat dissipation. The 270 Weatherby Magnum cartridge delivers 200-300 fps higher velocities than standard 270 Winchester loads.
