The Mark V Apex: Long-Range Precision Meets Hunting Practicality

Weatherby's Mark V Apex represents a thoughtful evolution in magnum rifle design, combining cutting-edge materials with proven ergonomics for the serious long-range hunter.

Stock and Ergonomics

The Peak 44s Bastion carbon fiber stock is among the lightest production vertical-grip stocks available, reducing overall rifle weight without sacrificing rigidity or control. The ambidextrous palm swell and substantial thumb groove promote consistent hand placement and proper shooting form, whether you're right or left-handed.

Dual sling studs on the forend give you flexibility in mounting your preferred sling or other accessories.

Recoil Management

The second-generation 3DHEX recoil pad is the first production 3D-printed pad of its kind. Its internal design features interlocking voids that progressively collapse during recoil, extending the recoil impulse over a longer timeframe. This engineering reduces felt recoil significantly—a real advantage when shooting powerful magnum cartridges, and it translates directly to better accuracy downrange.

Action and Bolt

More pronounced spiral fluting on the bolt body serves dual purposes: it reduces weight and decreases bearing surface within the action, resulting in smoother, more reliable bolt cycling.

Muzzle Brake

The Accubrake ST is Weatherby's proven muzzle brake design, engineered to manage recoil while maintaining a profile that blends seamlessly with the rifle's muzzle.

The Bottom Line

The Mark V Apex is built for shooters who demand accuracy at distance without carrying unnecessary weight into the field.
