Our Mark V® Dangerous Game Rifle is designed for the person who makes their living as a professional hunter or the hunter who is serious about their pursuit of dangerous game. No nonsense design and dependable performance are the hallmarks of this working rifle. It features a hand-laminated, raised comb, Monte Carlo composite stock (a combination of Aramid, graphite unidirectional fibers and fiberglass), with a CNC-machined aluminum bedding block, combined with our legendary, short bolt lift, Mark V action and a chrome-moly Criterion™ barrel by Krieger™. As with all Weatherby® stocks, our cast off design allows for perfect eye-to-sight alignment, a feature even more important on a rifle used for dangerous game. Black oxide matte finish on all metalwork reduces reflection and glare, hand-honed action, damenscened bolt and follower, and checkered bolt knob. An adjustable ramp, shallow gold-filled “V” rear and hooded barrel band front sight with large gold bead provide for immediate sight alignment and target acquisition. A Pachmayr® Decelerator® recoil pad reduces felt recoil and rounds out this distinctive rifle.
