Weatherby calls the APEX the top of the food chain, and once you handle one it's hard to argue. This is the classic Mark V steel action dressed up with just about every feature serious western hunters have been asking for: a Peak 44 Bastion carbon fiber stock that weighs a scant 23 ounces, a deep-fluted #3 contour barrel wearing two-tone Coyote Tan and Graphite Black Cerakote, and an exposed carbon weave finished with tan and brown sponge pattern accents that looks as good as it performs. At 7.5 pounds bare, it carries easily but still has enough barrel up front to settle in for a long poke across a canyon.
The 7mm PRC has earned its following fast, sending high-BC .284 caliber bullets at serious velocity while keeping recoil manageable. The APEX gives the cartridge room to work with a 26 inch barrel and 1:8 twist that stabilizes the long, heavy bullets this round was designed around. Weatherby backs it up with their sub-MOA guarantee: a three-shot group under an inch at 100 yards from a cold barrel with Weatherby factory or premium ammo. Feeding comes from a 3+1 hinged floorplate design, so there's no detachable magazine to lose in the snow.
The TriggerTech Field trigger breaks clean with zero creep and adjusts externally from about 2.5 to 5 pounds. The famous 54 degree bolt throw cycles fast and clears low-mounted scopes, and the spiral-fluted bolt runs smooth while shaving a little more weight. Up front, the Accubrake ST screws onto standard 5/8×24 threads and does real work taming muzzle jump, while the 3D-printed 3DHEX recoil pad soaks up what's left with its collapsing lattice structure. The Bastion stock adds an ambidextrous palm swell, thumb groove, and dual sling studs on the forend for a bipod and sling together.
The rifle ships without sights, so plan on a quality scope and rings. With the flat trajectory of the 7mm PRC and this platform's accuracy, glass in the 4-20x range makes a lot of sense. Made in the USA and built to be the rifle you pass down, not trade in.
No, the APEX ships without sights or optics. The receiver is set up for scope mounting, so you'll want to pick up bases or a rail plus rings for your glass. Given the long-range potential of the 7mm PRC, most owners top it with a quality variable power scope.
Yes. Weatherby guarantees a three-shot group of .99 inches or less at 100 yards from a cold barrel when using Weatherby factory or premium ammunition, valid within two years of verified purchase for the original owner. Owners regularly report groups well under that mark once they find a load the rifle likes.
Better than you'd expect from a 7.5 pound magnum-class rifle. The Accubrake ST muzzle brake bleeds off a big chunk of the recoil impulse, and the 3D-printed 3DHEX recoil pad uses a collapsing lattice design to spread out what remains. Most folks find it very comfortable to shoot from the bench and in the field.
Yes. The Accubrake ST attaches via standard 5/8×24 muzzle threads, so it unscrews easily. That thread pattern is the most common for this bore size, meaning most suppressors and thread protectors will spin right on.
