Description
Weatherby has built a lot of rifles on the Mark V action over the years, but the Weathermark Limited is the first one to wear a spiral fluted barrel, and it changes the whole character of the gun. The fluting shaves weight off the #1 contour barrel while giving the rifle a look that stands apart from anything else in the safe. In 6.5 Creedmoor, the whole package comes in light enough to carry all day without complaint, and the included Accubrake ST takes an already mild cartridge down to almost nothing at the shoulder. A thread protector comes along too, so you can run the barrel clean or swap the brake for a suppressor when it is time to hunt quiet.
Why the Weathermark Limited Earns Its Name
All the metalwork gets dressed in Burnt Bronze Cerakote, with the bolt, extended bolt knob, and safety finished in contrasting Graphite Black. Cerakote is about as tough as thin-film coatings get, shrugging off moisture, mud, and the wear that comes from real seasons in the field. The stock is a hand-laid Monte Carlo composite in black with grey and brown accents, with a raised comb that lines your eye up naturally behind a scope. The Weathermark family has always been about rifles that do not care what the forecast says, and this one carries that torch well.
Shooting the Mark V Weathermark Limited
The trigger is where a lot of the accuracy comes from. Weatherby fits a TriggerTech flat-face unit with a true zero-creep break and short over-travel, and it is externally adjustable so you can dial it to your liking. Feed it good ammunition and the sub-MOA guarantee applies, a three-shot group under an inch at 100 yards from a cold barrel. The six-lug Mark V action cycles with that famously short 54-degree bolt lift, and the deep spiral fluting on the bolt body keeps things running smooth. With a 4+1 capacity and a 1:8 twist that stabilizes heavy 6.5mm bullets, this is a legitimate cross-canyon deer and antelope rifle that will also hold its own on steel well past where most hunting rifles tap out.

Frequently Asked Questions
Does the Weathermark Limited come with Weatherby's sub-MOA accuracy guarantee?
Yes. Like every Mark V rifle, it is guaranteed to print a three-shot group of .99 inches or better at 100 yards from a cold barrel when fed Weatherby factory or premium ammunition. That guarantee applies to the original purchaser within two years of a verified purchase.
Can I run a suppressor on this Mark V Weathermark Limited?
You can. The barrel is threaded 1/2×28, and the rifle ships with the Accubrake ST installed plus a thread protector. Spin the brake off and your suppressor goes right on, which pairs nicely with the mild-mannered 6.5 Creedmoor.
How is this rifle different from the standard Mark V Weathermark?
The Limited is the first Mark V ever offered with a spiral fluted barrel, which trims weight and gives it a distinct look. It also adds an extended spiral fluted bolt knob and wears Burnt Bronze Cerakote over a Monte Carlo composite stock with grey and brown accents. The TriggerTech flat-face trigger rounds out the upgrades.
Is 6.5 Creedmoor a good chambering for this rifle?
It is a great fit. The 1:8 twist stabilizes heavy, high-BC bullets that hold up well at distance, and recoil is gentle to begin with before the Accubrake ST cuts it down further. For deer, antelope, and long afternoons on steel, it is hard to argue with the pairing.
