Weatherby Mark V 6.5-300 Wby Mag Rifle with 26" Barrel in Brown - MCB20N653WR8B

The Weatherby Mark V 6.5-300 Wby Mag rifle with 26" barrel in brown is a lightweight magnum built for serious long-range hunters and shooters who won't compromise on capability or pack weight. Built on Weatherby's legendary Mark V action and paired with a tensioned carbon fiber barrel system proven to deliver sub-half-MOA accuracy, this Backcountry 2.0 Carbon platform puts you in position to make clean, confident shots from mountain ridges to remote backcountry glassing points. At 6.6 lbs (base weight) and offered with Patriot Brown Cerakote finishing, it's engineered for hunters who measure success in both animals taken and miles hiked.

The 6.5-300 Weatherby Magnum is a potent, fast-stepping cartridge that delivers flat trajectories and hard-hitting energy across extended ranges—a natural pairing with the precision barrel work here. Weatherby's internal accuracy record with this rifle platform, a 0.06-inch 3-shot group at 100 yards, underscores the barrel's repeatability. The carbon fiber construction isn't just weight savings theater; it's married to real recoil management courtesy of the second-generation 3DHEX recoil pad, a 3D-printed system with progressive collapsing voids that stretch out the recoil impulse and tame the sharp bite that magnum cartridges deliver.

Fit and finish reflect Weatherby's attention to field-ready detail. The Peak 44 Blacktooth carbon fiber stock—the lightest production carbon stock available—carries a practical brown and green sponge pattern. The titanium Accubrake ST, with 30 symmetrically-spaced ports, is profiled to blend with the #4 carbon barrel contour and further reduces felt recoil without the weight penalty. Spiral fluting on the bolt, a threaded and skeletonized aluminum extended knob, and Cerakote protection on all exposed steel keep the rifle running smooth and corrosion-resistant whether you're hunting in wet mountain conditions or arid high country.

With a 3+1 magazine capacity, 48.5-inch overall length, and 13.5-inch length of pull, the Mark V 6.5-300 Wby Mag is configured for hunters who want precision, minimal fuss, and a rifle that doesn't force you to choose between power and portability.

Frequently Asked Questions

What makes the Weatherby Mark V 6.5-300 Wby Mag good for backcountry and long-range hunting?

The 6.5-300 Weatherby Magnum delivers flat-shooting, hard-hitting performance at distance, and this rifle's carbon fiber barrel system is proven to deliver sub-0.1-MOA accuracy. At 6.6 lbs, it's light enough to carry into remote terrain without exhausting you before the hunt starts, yet the magnum velocity and energy make it capable at extended ranges where precision and power both matter.

How much does recoil kick with a 6.5-300 magnum in this rifle?

The 3DHEX recoil pad—a 3D-printed system with progressive collapsing voids—stretches out the recoil impulse over time rather than delivering a sharp spike. The titanium Accubrake ST, with 30 symmetrically-spaced ports, further tames the kick. Together, these systems make shooting magnum cartridges noticeably more pleasant and less punishing than traditional rifle setups.

Is the Patriot Brown finish practical for hunting, or just cosmetic?

The Patriot Brown Cerakote on the action and barrel is a protective ceramic coating that resists rust and corrosion in wet, harsh conditions. The stock's complementary brown and green sponge pattern is designed to break up the rifle's outline in the field—functional camo that also looks professional.

What is the magazine capacity and how is the rifle configured?

The Mark V 6.5-300 Wby Mag holds 3 rounds in the magazine plus 1 in the chamber (3+1 configuration). The overall length is 48.5 inches with a 26-inch barrel, and the length of pull is 13.5 inches, making it balanced and manageable in typical hunting positions and tight spaces.
