Availability: In Stock
The Weatherby Mark V Apex 240 Wby Mag is a long-range hunting rifle that combines the legendary Mark V action with modern lightweight engineering and magnum stopping power. Built for hunters who refuse to compromise between accuracy, speed, and pack weight, this 26-inch bolt-action rifle chambers the potent 240 Weatherby Magnum—a caliber known for flat trajectories and reliable performance on mid-to-large game at extended distances. Whether you're glassing alpine basins or setting up for a grueling backcountry push, the Apex delivers the balance serious hunters demand.
At the heart of the Apex is Weatherby's steel Mark V action, proven across generations for feeding reliability and precision. The 26-inch barrel features spiral fluting—a detail that shaves weight while smoothing bolt cycling—and arrives in a striking two-tone finish: Coyote Tan and Graphite Black Cerakote that looks as capable as it performs. The Accubrake ST muzzle brake, with 30 symmetrically-spaced ports, significantly tames the recoil signature of a magnum round, improving follow-up accuracy and reducing shooter fatigue in the field.
The real game-changer is the Peak 44 Bastion stock: a vertical-grip carbon fiber build that tips the scales at just 23 ounces—impressively light for a production rifle stock. It features an ambidextrous palm swell, substantial thumb groove for secure control, and dual swivel studs for flexible accessory mounting. The 3DHEX recoil pad—a 3D-printed design with progressive-collapse voids—further softens the magnum kick by extending the recoil impulse, meaning less punishment on your shoulder and steadier sight picture for the next shot. Cerakote finishes on the receiver, trigger guard, bolt, and safety add durability without excess weight.
The Apex is engineered for hunters who cover ground fast and shoot accurately under real-world conditions. The long barrel maximizes velocity for the 240 Weatherby Magnum, while the lightweight stock and brake design make sustained accuracy achievable even after a long pack in. This is a rifle that respects both the distance to the animal and the distance you've traveled to get there.
| Caliber | 240 Weatherby Magnum |
| Barrel Length | 26 inches |
| Action Type | Bolt-action, Mark V steel |
| Stock | Peak 44 Bastion carbon fiber vertical-grip, 23 oz |
| Muzzle Brake | Accubrake ST with 30 ports |
| Barrel Finish | Two-tone Cerakote: Coyote Tan and Graphite Black |
| Receiver/Trigger Guard Finish | Coyote Tan Cerakote |
| Bolt/Safety Finish | Graphite Black Cerakote |

The 240 Weatherby Magnum delivers a flat trajectory and consistent velocity over distance, and the 26-inch barrel optimizes that performance. Combined with the Mark V action's legendary accuracy, this rifle is engineered to shoot confidently at extended ranges where precision matters most.
The Peak 44 Bastion carbon fiber stock weighs just 23 ounces, among the lightest production vertical-grip stocks available. For hunters covering steep terrain or long distances, every ounce counts. The lighter build reduces overall rifle weight without sacrificing the ergonomic features—ambidextrous palm swell, thumb groove, and dual swivel studs—that make accurate, comfortable shooting in the field possible.
The 3DHEX pad uses interlocking voids that progressively collapse during recoil, extending the time over which the recoil impulse is absorbed. This effectively deadens the sharp kick associated with magnum chamberings, resulting in less felt recoil and steadier follow-up shot placement.
The rifle combines Coyote Tan and Graphite Black Cerakote across the barrel, receiver, trigger guard, bolt, and safety. This two-tone aesthetic is more than looks—Cerakote is a proven finish that resists corrosion and wear in harsh field conditions, protecting your investment whether you're in dry heat or wet mountains.
