Plenty of rifles get called compact when all the maker did was hack a couple inches off the barrel. Weatherby went further with the Mark V Carbon Compact. The length of pull drops to 13 inches from the standard 13.625, the forearm and grip are slimmed down with a subtle palm swell, and the comb sits a touch higher so your eye lands behind the scope naturally. For younger hunters, smaller-framed adults, or anyone who shoulders a rifle better with a shorter stock, the fit is the whole point here, and it shows.
The 22 inch BSF carbon fiber barrel starts life as a 416R stainless match blank, turned down and sleeved in carbon fiber under tension. Most of the carbon never touches the steel, which leaves air channels that pull heat away and keep the barrel stiff as strings of shots stack up. The muzzle is threaded 5/8-24 and wears Weatherby's Accubrake DST, though .243 Win is already one of the gentlest big game cartridges going, so recoil is a non-issue for just about anyone. Underneath it all sits the Mark V 6-lug standard action with its famously short 54 degree bolt lift, giving you fast cycling and plenty of clearance under the scope.
The stock is a hand-laid Monte Carlo fiberglass unit, painted by hand in Sheridan, Wyoming with brown, green, and white sponge accents over black. The Monte Carlo profile steers recoil away from your face instead of into it, which keeps you in the glass for follow-ups. Cerakote covers the working parts, OD Green on the receiver and trigger guard with Graphite Black on the bolt and safety, so weather is not something you need to babysit. Like every Mark V, this one carries Weatherby's sub-MOA guarantee: a three-shot group under .99 inches at 100 yards from a cold barrel with quality factory ammo. Small stature, full-sized capability. That's the whole idea.
It was designed for smaller-framed hunters, youth shooters, and anyone who simply prefers a shorter stock. The 13 inch length of pull, slimmer grip and forearm, and higher comb make it easier to shoulder and get behind the scope compared to a full-size rifle. Plenty of average-sized hunters end up preferring the trimmer fit too, especially when layered up in cold weather.
Yes. Like every Mark V, it carries Weatherby's sub-MOA guarantee, meaning it will print a three-shot group of .99 inches or less at 100 yards from a cold barrel using Weatherby factory or premium ammunition, within two years of verified purchase for the original buyer. Between the tensioned BSF carbon barrel and the TriggerTech trigger, hitting that mark is not a stretch.
You can. The muzzle is threaded in the common 5/8-24 pattern and ships with Weatherby's Accubrake DST installed, which spins off easily if you'd rather mount a can. With the mild-mannered .243 Win cartridge, a suppressed setup makes this an exceptionally pleasant rifle to shoot.
Absolutely, and it has been a favorite deer and antelope cartridge for decades for good reason. It shoots flat, recoils gently, and with modern bonded or copper bullets in the 90 to 100 grain range it puts whitetails and pronghorn down reliably. It also doubles nicely as a predator and varmint round with lighter bullets, making it one of the most versatile chamberings you can pick for a compact rifle.
