Weatherby Mark V 6.5-300 Wby Mag Rifle - Granite Speckle Finish (MHU01N653WR6T)

The Weatherby Mark V 6.5-300 Wby Mag rifle in Granite Speckle finish brings legendary Weatherby magnum performance to hunters who demand both power and precision. Built on the Mark V platform—engineered as one of the strongest production rifle actions available—this Hunter model chambers the potent 6.5-300 Weatherby Magnum, a cartridge that delivers extended effective range without excessive recoil. Whether you're pursuing elk across open country or hunting at higher elevations where thin air demands velocity, this rifle pairs proven Weatherby engineering with a modern, purpose-built stock designed for field work.

The action itself is a marvel of controlled chaos prevention. The Mark V Magnum uses nine locking lugs in a multi-lug bolt system inspired by interrupted-thread lockup—the strongest commercially available. That means three rings of steel surround the cartridge when chambered, a fully-enclosed bolt shroud protects against gas venting, and three relief ports in the bolt body handle worst-case ammunition scenarios. The barrel is threaded 1/2"–28 so you can add a suppressor or muzzle brake to manage recoil and report. A deeply-fluted bolt with removable knob sheds weight, keeps dust and debris clear, and reduces bearing surface for smoother, faster cycling.

The stock is where field ergonomics shine. Weatherby's redesigned advanced polymer unit echoes the Backcountry 2.0 profile with a trim, flat-bottomed forend, ambidextrous palm swells, and aluminum pillar construction—all finished in Granite Speckle that blends into real-world conditions. Cobalt Cerakote protects the barrel, receiver, and trigger guard; the bolt and safety wear Graphite Black Cerakote. At 7.3 pounds, 47 inches overall, with a 26-inch #2-contour barrel, a 1-in-8 twist rate, and 14-inch length of pull, this rifle is built for serious long-range hunting.
