Description
There is something about a Weatherby wearing real walnut that synthetic just can't touch. The Mark V Frontier brings back the look of Roy Weatherby's original magnums, starting with an exhibition grade walnut stock that gets hand selected for figure and balance, then shaped and finished in Italy with hand cut checkering, a matte oil rubbed finish, and rosewood accents at the forend and grip cap set off by maple spacers. The Monte Carlo comb does more than look right, it keeps your cheek weld consistent and your eye behind the scope shot after shot.
A Frontier Built on the Legendary Mark V Action
Underneath the pretty wood is all business. The nine lug Mark V action gives you a short 54 degree bolt lift for quick cycling and plenty of scope clearance, and the spiral fluted bolt runs smooth while shaving a little weight. The trigger is an externally adjustable TriggerTech unit with a clean, zero creep break you can tune to your liking. All the metalwork wears Graphite Black Cerakote, so the corrosion resistance is modern even if the styling is vintage. Rugged NECG iron sights come fitted from the factory, a nice touch if you ever need backup sights in thick cover.
6.5-300 Weatherby Magnum, the Flat Shooting Speed King
This chambering is one of the fastest 6.5s ever put in a factory rifle, and the 26 inch barrel lets it stretch its legs for serious velocity and a laser flat trajectory on deer, antelope, and elk way out there. The muzzle is threaded and ships with Weatherby's Accubrake ST installed, which cuts felt recoil by up to 53 percent so you can spot your own hits. Feeding comes from a hinged floorplate magazine holding three rounds plus one in the chamber.
Accuracy You Can Count On from the Mark V Frontier
Like every Mark V, this rifle is backed by Weatherby's guarantee of a three shot group under an inch at 100 yards from a cold barrel with Weatherby factory or premium ammo. Pair that promise with a stock this good looking and you have a rifle that earns its spot at the front of the safe and in the field.

Frequently Asked Questions
Does the Weatherby Mark V Frontier come with a muzzle brake?
Yes. The barrel is threaded from the factory and ships with Weatherby's Accubrake ST already installed. It reduces felt recoil by up to 53 percent, which takes a lot of the sting out of the 6.5-300 and makes it much easier to stay on target for follow up shots.
Is the 26 inch barrel measurement with or without the brake?
The 26 inches is the barrel itself, and the Accubrake ST adds roughly another 2 inches on top of that. Total length on this 6.5-300 version runs 46.25 inches. The longer tube is worth it in this chambering since the 6.5-300 needs barrel length to deliver the velocity it is famous for.
How accurate is the Mark V Frontier in 6.5-300 Weatherby?
Weatherby backs every Mark V with a sub-MOA guarantee, meaning a three shot group of .99 inches or less at 100 yards from a cold barrel using Weatherby factory or premium ammunition. The 6.5-300 is also an extremely flat shooting cartridge, so this setup is well suited to long range work on big game.
Can I mount a scope and still use the iron sights?
Yes, the factory fitted NECG sights sit on the barrel, so they stay put as a backup while you run a scope on the receiver. The Mark V's short 54 degree bolt lift also gives you extra clearance between your hand and the scope when cycling the action.
