Description
There was a time when every Weatherby that left the factory wore rich walnut and deep blued steel, and the Mark V Deluxe keeps that tradition alive without giving up an ounce of modern performance. This 6.5 Creedmoor version pairs a high gloss fluted 22 inch barrel with a Gloss AA walnut Monte Carlo stock, complete with fineline diamond point checkering, a rosewood forend tip and grip cap, and maplewood spacers that set the whole thing off. It is the kind of rifle people stop to look at when you pull it out of the case.
More Than a Pretty Face: Mark V Deluxe Performance
Underneath the wood, this is a genuine Mark V action, the same design Weatherby has built its reputation on since 1958, with a fast bolt throw and a lockup that feels like a bank vault. The externally adjustable TriggerTech trigger breaks clean with essentially zero creep, and Weatherby backs the rifle with its sub-MOA guarantee, promising three shot groups under an inch at 100 yards with quality factory ammo. The 1:8 twist barrel handles the heavy, high BC 6.5 Creedmoor bullets that make this cartridge such a favorite for deer, antelope, and long range work.
A 6.5 Creedmoor Built for the Field
At 7 pounds and just over 42.5 inches overall, this rifle carries nicely for a full size bolt gun, and the mild recoil of the 6.5 Creedmoor combined with the Pachmayr Decelerator pad makes it pleasant for extended range sessions. The internal magazine holds four rounds plus one in the chamber, and the two position bolt mounted safety is right where your thumb expects it. The receiver comes drilled and tapped, so mounting your favorite glass is straightforward.
Why the Mark V Deluxe Still Matters
Plenty of rifles will shoot well these days. Not many do it while looking like this. If you appreciate a hunting rifle with genuine character, real wood, gloss blued steel, and craftsmanship you can feel, the Mark V Deluxe in 6.5 Creedmoor is one of those guns that gets better every time you pick it up.

Frequently Asked Questions
Does the Weatherby Mark V Deluxe come with sights or a scope?
No, this rifle ships without sights. The receiver comes drilled and tapped from the factory, so you can mount bases and rings for the optic of your choice. Given the accuracy potential of the 6.5 Creedmoor and this barrel, a quality scope is the way to go.
Is the Mark V Deluxe accurate enough for long range shooting?
Yes. Weatherby guarantees sub-MOA performance, meaning three shot groups of 0.99 inches or less at 100 yards from a cold barrel with Weatherby factory or premium ammunition. The 1:8 twist barrel also stabilizes the heavier match style 6.5 Creedmoor bullets that shine at distance.
Does this Mark V Deluxe use a detachable magazine?
No, it feeds from an internal magazine with a hinged floorplate, holding 4 rounds plus one in the chamber. It keeps the lines of the rifle clean and classic, which fits the whole spirit of the Deluxe. Unloading is quick and simple through the floorplate.
How does the 6.5 Creedmoor version handle recoil?
Very well. The 6.5 Creedmoor is a soft shooting cartridge to begin with, and the 7 pound rifle plus the factory installed Pachmayr Decelerator recoil pad soaks up what little kick there is. It is a comfortable gun for long practice sessions and a great pick if you want a premium rifle that will not beat you up.
