Description

The Mark V Apex sits at the top of Weatherby's lineup for a reason. This one is chambered in 7mm Backcountry, the new steel-case cartridge built to push magnum velocities out of shorter barrels, which is exactly why the 20 inch tube on this rifle makes so much sense. You get serious downrange speed in a package that balances well, packs easy, and pairs beautifully with a suppressor thanks to the 5/8-24 threaded muzzle. Weatherby ships it with their Accubrake ST installed, which takes a real bite out of felt recoil so you can stay in the scope and watch your hits.

What Makes the Mark V Apex Different

The heart of the rifle is the proven Mark V steel action, known for its strength and famously short 54 degree bolt lift. Weatherby dressed it up right on the Apex with a fluted #3 contour barrel wearing two-tone Coyote Tan and Graphite Black Cerakote, a Coyote Tan receiver and trigger guard, and a Graphite Black bolt and safety. The stock is where this rifle really turns heads. It's Peak 44's Bastion, an exposed carbon fiber stock with tan and brown sponge accents that weighs just 23 ounces. The vertical grip, ambidextrous palm swell, and generous thumb groove put your hand in a natural position for steady trigger presses from field positions.

Apex Accuracy You Can Count On

A TriggerTech trigger handles fire control with the kind of crisp, consistent break that makes precise shooting easier, and Weatherby backs the whole package with their sub-MOA accuracy guarantee using premium factory ammo. The receiver comes drilled and tapped with no sights, so you can mount the glass of your choice and get to work.

All in, you're looking at 6.6 pounds, a 40 inch overall length, 4+1 capacity, and a 1:8 twist that stabilizes the long, heavy 7mm bullets this cartridge was designed around. For elk timber, open country mule deer, or anywhere a long poke might present itself, this is a rifle that earns its spot in the truck.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the 7mm Backcountry cartridge and why the short 20 inch barrel?

7mm Backcountry is a newer cartridge built around a high-strength steel case that runs higher pressures than traditional brass. That extra pressure lets it hit magnum-class velocities from shorter barrels, so the 20 inch tube on this Mark V Apex gives up very little speed while keeping the rifle compact and easy to handle, especially with a suppressor attached.

Can I run a suppressor on the Mark V Apex?

Yes. The muzzle is threaded 5/8-24, which is the most common thread pitch for big bore rifle suppressors. Just spin off the included Accubrake ST and thread on your can. The 20 inch barrel keeps overall length manageable even with a suppressor mounted.

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

No, it ships without sights. The receiver is drilled and tapped, so you'll want to pick up bases or a rail plus rings for your optic. Given the long-range potential of the 7mm Backcountry, a quality variable scope in the 3-15x or 4-20x range is a popular pairing.

Is the Mark V Apex accurate enough for long-range hunting?

Weatherby backs the Apex with a sub-MOA guarantee, meaning three-shot groups under one inch at 100 yards with premium factory ammo. Between the TriggerTech trigger, free-floated fluted barrel, and the stable Peak 44 Bastion stock, it has the ingredients to stretch well past typical hunting distances when you do your part.
