The Weatherby Mark V Deluxe .243 Win 22" Gloss AA Walnut Bolt-Action Rifle is a traditional rifle built for hunters who appreciate fine wood and classic lines over modern composites and tactical finishes. If you grew up around firearms where a rifle meant gorgeous walnut and deep blue steel, this Deluxe model brings that heritage forward with the accuracy and reliability Weatherby is known for. The .243 Winchester is a proven varmint and light-game round—flat-shooting, mild-mannered in recoil, and effective on prairie dogs, coyotes, and whitetail deer under moderate ranges.
Built on Weatherby's strong Mark V action, this rifle features a gloss-finished AA walnut stock with classic diamond-point checkering on the grip and forend. The rosewood forend cap and grip cap, with their maplewood spacers, aren't just cosmetic touches—they frame and protect the wood while adding to the rifle's refined appearance. At 7 pounds with a 22-inch #1 contour barrel and a length of pull of 13.5 inches, it's handy enough to carry through thick cover but substantial enough to shoot steady from a bench or supported position. The included Pachmayr Decelerator recoil pad tames the 1-7.5 twist barrel's mild recoil impulse.
This is a rifle that works best when you're willing to slow down and make the shot count—whether you're glassing a ridge for antelope, working a prairie-dog town, or hunting whitetail over a food source. The 4+1 magazine capacity keeps you ready without needing to stage extra rounds, and the 42.625-inch overall length strikes a balance between maneuverability and sight radius. If you want a .243 Win rifle that shoots straight, points naturally, and looks like it belongs in a gun cabinet rather than a tactical range, the Mark V Deluxe deserves a serious look.
