Weatherby Mark V Deluxe .300 Wby Magnum Bolt-Action Rifle

The Weatherby Mark V Deluxe .300 Wby Magnum bolt-action rifle is built for hunters who appreciate rifle craftsmanship that doesn't apologize for its traditional roots. This isn't a tricked-out tactical piece—it's a magnum hunting rifle that brings back the days when a rifle was as much about aesthetic refinement as raw performance. The .300 Wby Magnum delivers serious long-range power without the extreme recoil penalty of larger belted magnums, making it a solid choice for elk, moose, and other big-game hunting where you need velocity and knockdown without wrestling with a brake on every shot.

What sets the Deluxe apart is its attention to detail. The stock is genuine AA walnut with a gloss finish, dressed up with regal diamond-point checkering, a rosewood forend and grip cap, and maplewood spacers that break up the lines beautifully. The metalwork—barrel, trigger guard, and bolt knob—wears a high-gloss blue that plays off the wood perfectly. A Pachmayr Decelerator recoil pad handles the .300 Wby's kick without the noise and blast of a muzzle brake. The 26-inch #2 contour barrel is a classic hunting length that balances velocity with portability, and the 1-10 twist handles modern .300 Wby ammunition reliably.

This is a right-hand action with a three-round magazine capacity, a Monte Carlo comb for scope mounting, and dimensions built around real hunting. At 8.2 pounds and with a 13.5-inch length of pull, it points naturally and carries like a purpose-built hunting rifle should. If you're tired of black plastic and quad rails, and you want a magnum that looks and feels like something worth passing down, the Mark V Deluxe speaks that language.

Frequently Asked Questions

What kind of game is the .300 Wby Magnum suitable for?

The .300 Wby Magnum is a serious long-range magnum cartridge, well-suited for elk, moose, and other large North American big game. It delivers high velocity and energy at extended ranges while remaining manageable in recoil compared to larger belted magnums like the .338 Lapua or .340 Wby.

Is this rifle ready to hunt out of the box?

The rifle comes assembled and complete with the Pachmayr recoil pad installed. You'll need to mount a scope and rings to it, and we recommend having it professionally sighted in before taking it to the field. No optic is included with the rifle.

What does the Pachmayr Decelerator recoil pad do?

The Pachmayr Decelerator is a rubber recoil pad that absorbs and spreads the impulse of recoil, reducing felt recoil rise and muzzle jump. Unlike a muzzle brake, it's quiet and doesn't add sound or blast—just softer shooting.

How much does the Mark V Deluxe weigh, and will it be practical for backcountry hunting?

At 8.2 pounds with a 26-inch barrel and traditional wood furniture, it's not ultralight, but it's a reasonable carry weight for a magnum hunting rifle. The 46 5/8-inch overall length is manageable through brush and timber, and the classic profile balances well in the hands.
