Weatherby Mark V .308 Win Rifle with 22" Barrel in Granite Speckle Finish

The Weatherby Mark V .308 Win rifle with 22" barrel combines the legendary strength of Weatherby's Mark V action with classic .308 Winchester versatility, all wrapped in a modern Granite Speckle polymer stock. This is a rifle built for hunters and shooters who demand reliability across seasons and terrain without compromise. The Mark V platform has earned its reputation for safety and durability; this Hunter variant brings that proven design into a trimmer, more ergonomic package that handles like it was made for the field.

The action here is where Weatherby's engineering philosophy shows. The six-lug bolt system—inspired by interrupted-thread lockup—creates a mechanically superior design compared to standard push-feed actions. Three rings of steel surround the cartridge at battery, a fully-enclosed bolt shroud seals out the elements, and three gas relief ports in the bolt body provide failsafe venting. The deeply fluted bolt not only sheds weight but also clears debris more efficiently, while the removable knob keeps things snag-free in heavy brush. Chambered in .308 Winchester, you get access to decades of ammunition development, hunting loads, and match-grade options—the practical choice for hunters who value availability and proven terminal performance.

Weather protection starts with Cobalt Cerakote on the barrel, receiver, and trigger guard, with Graphite Black Cerakote on the bolt and safety. The 22" #1 contour barrel is threaded 1/2"–28 for suppressors or brakes, and the updated Advanced Polymer stock features ambidextrous palm swells, trim flat-bottomed forend, and aluminum pillar construction. The granite speckle finish breaks up outline while the ergonomic profile—borrowed from the Backcountry 2.0 platform—keeps your hold steady whether you're glassing from a ridge or settling into a bench. A 4+1 magazine feeds reliably, and the 14" length of pull accommodates most frame sizes with comfortable reach.

At 6.1 pounds and 43" overall, this rifle balances substance with packability. The 1-in-10 twist handles .308 loads across the velocity spectrum. Whether you're pursuing whitetail in the Northeast, mule deer in the Rockies, or rounding out your all-purpose rifle safe, the Mark V Hunter in .308 delivers the accuracy and toughness you've come to expect from the name.
