Weatherby calls the Apex the top of the food chain in the Mark V lineup, and once you handle one it's hard to argue. This 6.5 Weatherby RPM version pairs the proven Mark V steel action and its fast 54 degree bolt throw with a 24 inch spiral fluted barrel in a sharp two-tone Coyote Tan and Graphite Black Cerakote finish. The factory installed Accubrake ST caps the muzzle with 30 symmetrically spaced ports that knock felt recoil down to something you barely notice with a 6.5, which makes spotting your own hits through the scope a real possibility.
The heart of this rifle is the Peak 44 Bastion, one of the lightest production vertical grip carbon fiber stocks made at just 23 ounces. The vertical grip with ambidextrous palm swell and a generous thumb groove puts your hand in a natural, repeatable position whether you're prone behind a bipod or wedged against a rock on a steep hillside. Dual sling studs on the forend let you run a bipod and a sling at the same time, and Weatherby's 3DHEX printed recoil pad uses collapsing internal voids to spread the recoil impulse out and soften the shove at your shoulder.
The 6.5 Weatherby RPM is a modern, beltless design that pushes bullets fast and flat, and it was built from the ground up for lightweight hunting rifles like this one. The 1:8 twist barrel stabilizes the heavy, high BC 6.5mm bullets that make this cartridge shine on deer, antelope, and elk at reasonable distances. A TriggerTech trigger with zero creep and an externally adjustable pull weight gives you a clean, predictable break, and every Mark V carries Weatherby's guarantee of sub-MOA three shot groups at 100 yards with quality ammo. At roughly six and a half pounds bare, with a 4+1 capacity and no sights so you can mount the glass of your choice, this is a serious mountain rifle that pulls double duty at the range.
No, this rifle ships without sights. The receiver is drilled and tapped for scope bases, so you can pick the mounting system and optic that fit your style of hunting. Given the long range potential of the 6.5 RPM cartridge, most owners pair it with quality glass in the 3-15x or 4-20x range.
It is, within sensible distances. The 6.5 RPM was designed as a modern, beltless high velocity cartridge, and with heavy bonded or monolithic bullets it carries enough energy for elk out to around 500 yards. For deer and antelope it is flat shooting, mild on the shoulder, and very forgiving to shoot well.
Very little for this class of cartridge. Weatherby rates the Accubrake ST as cutting felt recoil substantially, and combined with the 3DHEX recoil pad that compresses progressively during the shot, the 6.5 RPM feels closer to a light varmint round. The tradeoff is added muzzle blast, so ear protection at the range is a must.
No, it feeds from an internal box magazine with a hinged floorplate, which keeps the rifle slim and snag free for field carry. In 6.5 Weatherby RPM the capacity is 4+1. The floorplate drops open for quick, safe unloading without cycling rounds through the action.
