Description
There are plenty of rifles that get scaled down for smaller-framed hunters, and most of them feel like an afterthought. The Weatherby Mark V Camilla Deluxe is the opposite of that. Named for Camilla Weatherby, the company's original first lady, this rifle was built from the ground up around the way women and smaller-statured hunters are actually built. The 13 inch length of pull, slender forearm, trimmer grip with a subtle palm swell, and raised comb line your eye up behind a scope naturally, and the recoil pad is canted to settle into the shoulder the way it should. Chambered in 6.5 Creedmoor, it is a soft-shooting, flat-flying setup that handles deer and antelope out well past where most of us should be pulling the trigger.
What Makes the Camilla Deluxe Special
The heart of the rifle is Weatherby's legendary six-lug Mark V action with its 54 degree bolt lift, the shortest throw in the business, which keeps your hand clear of the scope and speeds up follow-up shots. The 22 inch hand-lapped barrel wears a #1 contour with a 1:8 twist that stabilizes the long, heavy 6.5mm bullets this cartridge is known for, and the factory Accubrake on the threaded muzzle knocks felt recoil down dramatically. A crisp TriggerTech trigger breaks with zero creep and adjusts externally, and every Mark V carries Weatherby's sub-MOA guarantee of a three-shot group under an inch at 100 yards with quality ammo.
A 6.5 Creedmoor That Looks as Good as It Shoots
Then there is the wood. The AA-grade Claro walnut stock is finished in high gloss with fine checkering and contrasting forend and grip caps, matched to deep gloss bluing on the barrel and receiver. At around 6.5 pounds with a 3+1 hinged floorplate magazine, it carries easily in the field all day. The receiver comes drilled and tapped, so mount your favorite glass and go hunt. This is an heirloom-quality rifle that earns its keep in the deer woods, not just above the fireplace.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is the Mark V Camilla Deluxe only for women?
It was designed around the ergonomics of female hunters, but the shorter 13 inch length of pull, slim grip, and high comb work great for anyone with a smaller frame, including youth hunters and plenty of average-sized adults who find standard stocks too long. If a full-size rifle has never fit you quite right, this one is worth shouldering.
How accurate is the Weatherby Camilla Deluxe in 6.5 Creedmoor?
Every Mark V, including the Camilla Deluxe, is backed by Weatherby's sub-MOA guarantee, meaning a three-shot group of .99 inches or better at 100 yards from a cold barrel with Weatherby factory or premium ammo. The hand-lapped barrel, 1:8 twist, and TriggerTech trigger give it everything it needs to deliver on that promise.
Does this rifle come with a muzzle brake, and can I remove it?
Yes, it ships with Weatherby's Accubrake on the threaded 1/2-28 muzzle, which can cut felt recoil by up to 53 percent. In 6.5 Creedmoor the recoil is already mild, so with the brake this rifle is very pleasant to shoot. You can remove the brake if you prefer, and the threading opens the door to other muzzle devices as well.
Does the Camilla Deluxe come with sights or a scope?
No, it ships without iron sights or optics. The receiver comes drilled and tapped from the factory, so all you need is a set of bases and rings for your scope of choice. The raised comb on the stock is shaped specifically to put your eye in line with a mounted optic.
