Description

There's a reason the Mark V Apex sits at the top of Weatherby's lineup. It takes the classic Mark V steel action, the one with the famously short 54 degree bolt throw, and drops it into a Peak 44 Bastion vertical grip carbon fiber stock that weighs a scant 23 ounces. The result is a rifle chambered in .338 Weatherby RPM that you can haul up a mountain all day without regretting it, then trust to deliver when a bull elk or moose steps out at long range.

Why the Apex Carries Light and Shoots Heavy

The .338 Weatherby RPM was built to run big .338 caliber bullets out of a trim six-lug Mark V action, giving you serious downrange thump on elk-sized and larger game without stepping up to a full magnum-length rifle. The 24 inch fluted barrel wears a two-tone Cerakote finish in Flat Dark Earth and graphite black, with a 1:10 twist that stabilizes the heavy-for-caliber bullets this cartridge loves. Up front, Weatherby's Accubrake ST is contoured to match the muzzle and cuts felt recoil dramatically, and a thread protector is there for the days you'd rather run the barrel clean.

Mark V Apex Details That Matter in the Field

The Bastion stock features an ambidextrous palm swell, a deep thumb groove that encourages consistent hand placement, and dual sling studs on the forend for a bipod and sling together. On the back end sits the 3DHEX recoil pad, a 3D printed design with interlocking voids that collapse progressively under recoil to take the sting out of magnum loads. The spiral fluted bolt cycles smooth and fast, the bolt knob is removable and threaded for aftermarket options, and a TriggerTech adjustable trigger breaks clean right out of the box.

Weatherby backs the Apex with a sub-MOA accuracy guarantee using factory or premium ammunition, and with a 4+1 capacity and no sights installed, it's ready for the quality optic a rifle like this deserves. For the hunter who wants one do-it-all big game rifle, this one is tough to argue with.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the .338 Weatherby RPM cartridge and what is it good for?

The .338 Weatherby RPM (Rebated Precision Magnum) is designed to deliver big .338 caliber bullet performance from Weatherby's slim six-lug Mark V action. It hits well above its size, making it a great fit for elk, moose, and bear at extended distances. You get near-magnum energy in a rifle that carries noticeably lighter than traditional .338 magnums.

How much does the Weatherby Mark V Apex weigh?

This 24 inch barrel configuration runs right around 6.5 pounds bare, which is remarkably light for a .338 caliber rifle. Most of that savings comes from the Peak 44 Bastion carbon fiber stock, which weighs just 23 ounces, plus the fluted barrel and deep spiral fluted bolt.

Does the Mark V Apex come with a scope or iron sights?

No, it ships without sights, which is the norm for a long-range hunting rifle in this class. The receiver is drilled and tapped for scope bases, so plan on pairing it with a quality optic. Given the sub-MOA guarantee, this rifle will reward good glass.

How well does the Accubrake ST manage recoil in .338 Wby RPM?

Very well. The Accubrake ST uses 30 symmetrically spaced ports and can cut felt recoil by up to half, and it works alongside the 3DHEX recoil pad, which compresses progressively to spread the recoil impulse out over time. The combination makes this lightweight .338 far more comfortable to shoot than you'd expect, and a thread protector is included if you prefer shooting without the brake.
