The Weatherby Mark V Deluxe in 6.5 Creedmoor combines precision engineering with classic aesthetics for hunters and precision shooters demanding sub-MOA accuracy. This bolt-action rifle features Weatherby's legendary Mark V action paired with premium materials and meticulous craftsmanship. The 22-inch fluted barrel reduces weight while maintaining rigidity for consistent shot placement.
What Makes This Different
The Mark V Deluxe stands apart from standard hunting rifles through its stainless steel receiver construction and high-gloss blued barrel finish that resists corrosion in harsh conditions. The fluted barrel design removes excess weight without sacrificing accuracy, while the drilled and tapped receiver accepts standard scope mounts. Weatherby's nine-lug bolt system distributes stress evenly across the action, enabling higher chamber pressures and superior accuracy compared to traditional two-lug designs.
