Weatherby Mark V Deluxe 6.5-300 Wby Rifle - MDX01N653WR6O$2,991.03
Availability: In Stock
The Weatherby Mark V Apex in 6.5-300 Wby is built for hunters who refuse to compromise between raw power and field-ready weight. This rifle marries Weatherby's legendary Mark V steel action with a modern vertical-grip carbon fiber stock and cutting-edge recoil management—giving you a magnum-caliber long-range hunter that weighs less than competitors carrying less cartridge. The 6.5-300 Wby delivers the velocity and energy needed for extended-range hunting while the Apex platform keeps you moving through tough country without exhaustion.
At the heart of the Apex is the Peak 44 Bastion stock, a carbon fiber vertical-grip design engineered to be among the lightest production stocks available at just 23 ounces. The ambidextrous palm swell and thumb groove promote consistent form whether you're at the range or glassing from a ridge, and dual forend swivel studs give you flexibility in how you carry and stabilize the rifle. The exposed carbon fiber with tan and brown sponge accents isn't just visual appeal—it's a sign of the engineering underneath.
Recoil management on a magnum like the 6.5-300 Wby matters for accuracy and shooter fatigue. Weatherby's Accubrake ST features 30 symmetrically-spaced ports tuned to manage recoil impulse, while the proprietary 3DHEX recoil pad uses 3D-printed interlocking voids that progressively collapse and stretch out the recoil event, reducing felt kick significantly. Spiral fluting on the bolt body reduces weight and bearing surface for a slick, smooth cycling action. The two-tone fluted barrel—coyote tan and graphite black cerakote—sheds weight and looks the part, paired with matching cerakote on the trigger guard, receiver, and bolt assembly for a cohesive, professional finish.
This is a purpose-built long-range hunting rifle for serious shooters who understand that lighter means more time in the field and steadier holds when it counts. Weatherby's Mark V platform has proven itself across decades of hard use; the Apex simply brings it into modern gear territory.

The 6.5-300 Wby is a high-velocity magnum offering flat trajectory and retained energy at extended range—the kind of performance that matters when you're taking shots beyond typical hunting distances. Paired with the precision of the Mark V action, it delivers the velocity and power needed for serious long-range hunting situations.
At just 23 ounces, the Bastion is among the lightest production vertical-grip carbon fiber stocks available. The ambidextrous palm swell and substantial thumb groove encourage proper shooting form from a variety of positions, whether prone at the range or from field positions in tough terrain. The design prioritizes both light weight and ergonomic support.
The 3DHEX pad is a 3D-printed recoil pad featuring interlocking voids inside that progressively collapse during the recoil event. This design stretches out the time component of recoil, reducing the sharp kick typical of magnum rifles and resulting in less felt recoil and better shooter control for follow-up accuracy downrange.
Yes. The Peak 44 Bastion stock includes dual swivel studs on the forend, giving you multiple mounting options for accessories including bipods, slings, and other field gear.
