Weatherby Mark V Apex .300 Wby Mag Bolt-Action Rifle - Max01n300wr8b

The Weatherby Mark V Apex .300 Wby Mag is a long-range hunting rifle built on Weatherby's legendary Mark V steel action, engineered for shooters who refuse to compromise between power and portability. If you're serious about reaching distant game with precision while keeping overall weight manageable, this bolt-action rifle delivers the ballistics of the potent .300 Weatherby Magnum in a package designed for backcountry hunts and challenging terrain.

What sets the Apex apart is its marriage of proven Weatherby engineering with modern materials and recoil management. The action features spiral fluting on the bolt body that reduces weight while improving bolt function—a hallmark of Mark V reliability. The two-tone cerakoted barrel (Coyote Tan and Graphite Black) is fluted for weight reduction and aesthetics. Up front, the integral Accubrake ST features 30 symmetrically-spaced ports designed to tame the sharp recoil signature of magnum loads, translating to better follow-up accuracy and less shooter fatigue in the field.

The stock is where comfort meets cutting-edge design. Peak 44's Bastion carbon-fiber vertical-grip stock weighs just 23 ounces—genuinely light for a production rifle of this caliber. Its ambidextrous palm swell and substantial thumb groove encourage proper shooting form from bench, field position, or prone. Dual swivel studs let you customize your setup. Perhaps most innovative is the 3DHEX recoil pad: a 3D-printed design with interlocking voids that progressively compress during recoil, extending the impulse duration and softening the sharp kick typical of magnum rifles. The result is measurable reduction in felt recoil without sacrificing accuracy.

Cerakote finishes throughout—Coyote Tan on the trigger guard and receiver, Graphite Black on the bolt, bolt knob, and safety—resist corrosion and wear. This is a rifle built to work in the field, not just look good on the rack.

Yes. The Mark V Apex is built on Weatherby's Mark V action, a proven long-range platform, and is chambered in .300 Weatherby Magnum—a capable magnum cartridge for extended-range hunting. The Accubrake ST and 3DHEX recoil pad work together to manage recoil, promoting more consistent follow-up shots and better downrange accuracy.

How much does the stock weigh?

The Peak 44 Bastion carbon-fiber stock weighs 23 ounces, making it one of the lightest production vertical-grip carbon-fiber stocks available. This contributes to a rifle that's manageable for backcountry hunts and mountain hunting where pack weight matters.

What recoil reduction features does this rifle have?

The rifle features two complementary recoil-management systems: the Weatherby Accubrake ST with 30 symmetrically-spaced ports at the muzzle, and a 3D-printed 3DHEX recoil pad with interlocking voids that progressively collapse during recoil. Together, they extend the impulse duration and reduce felt kick from .300 Weatherby Magnum loads.

What mounting options does the Bastion stock provide?

The Peak 44 Bastion stock features dual swivel studs on the forend, allowing you to attach slings and other accessories according to your preferred shooting setup and field configuration.
