Description
For decades the Mark V was the rifle a lot of hunters admired from a distance but never quite got around to buying. The Mark V Hunter changes that. This is the same action Roy Weatherby designed back in 1958, the one built to contain the hottest factory cartridges ever loaded, here chambered in good old 308 Win with a 22 inch #1 contour barrel. The whole barreled action wears Cobalt Cerakote to shrug off rain, snow, and whatever else the season throws at you, and the muzzle comes threaded 1/2×28 with a flush-fit protector so adding a suppressor or brake is a five minute job.
What Makes the Mark V Hunter Different
The heart of this rifle is that famous multi-lug bolt. The standard action uses six locking lugs with a short 54 degree bolt lift, which means faster cycling and plenty of clearance under your scope. The bolt body is deeply fluted with a removable knob, trimming weight and reducing bearing surface so the action runs noticeably smooth. You also get the classic Weatherby safety setup: three rings of steel around the case head, a fully enclosed bolt shroud, and gas relief ports in the bolt body. The TriggerTech trigger breaks clean and crisp right out of the box, and it is adjustable if you want to fine tune it.
A Hunter Stock That Earns Its Name
The stock borrows its lines from the Backcountry series, with a trim flat-bottomed forend that rides bags and packs nicely, ambidextrous palm swells, and aluminum pillar bedding for consistency shot after shot. The speckled gray polymer finish looks sharp and cleans up easy after a muddy hunt. At right around 6 pounds bare, this rifle carries all day without complaint.
Mark V Hunter 308 Win Accuracy You Can Count On
Every Mark V is guaranteed to shoot a 3-shot group under an inch at 100 yards from a cold barrel with Weatherby factory or premium ammo. Pair that with a 1:10 twist barrel that stabilizes everything from light varmint loads to 180 grain bullets, and you have a deer and elk rifle that will outlast the person carrying it. The receiver comes drilled and tapped, so mount your glass and go hunt.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is the Weatherby Mark V Hunter guaranteed to shoot sub-MOA?
Yes. Weatherby guarantees every Mark V rifle will print a 3-shot group of .99 inch or less at 100 yards from a cold barrel when fed Weatherby factory or premium ammunition. In 308 Win with quality hunting loads, that kind of accuracy is very achievable for most folks behind the trigger.
Can I run a suppressor on the Mark V Hunter 308?
You sure can. The 22 inch barrel comes threaded 1/2×28 from the factory and ships with a flush-fit thread protector installed. Just spin the protector off and mount your suppressor or muzzle brake directly, no gunsmithing needed.
Does the Mark V Hunter come with a scope or sights?
No, this rifle ships without sights or optics. The receiver comes drilled and tapped from the factory, so you just need a set of bases or a rail and rings to mount your scope. Most buyers pair it with a quality 3-9x or 3-15x hunting scope and are ready to zero the same day.
How does the Mark V Hunter action differ from other bolt actions?
The Mark V uses a signature multi-lug bolt inspired by interrupted-thread lockup, with six lugs on this standard action and a short 54 degree bolt lift for fast cycling. The deeply fluted bolt reduces bearing surface for a smoother throw, and safety features include three rings of steel around the case head, a fully enclosed bolt shroud, and gas relief ports in the bolt body.
