Weatherby Mark V Deluxe 6.5-300 Wby Rifle - MDX01N653WR6O

The Weatherby Mark V Deluxe in 6.5-300 Wby Mag is a magnum rifle built for hunters who appreciate traditional craftsmanship without compromise on modern performance. This right-hand bolt-action rifle honors Weatherby's heritage with a rich walnut stock and high-gloss blue steel, combining classic aesthetics with the raw power needed for long-range hunting and dangerous game. At 8.2 pounds with a 26-inch #2 contour barrel, it balances shootability and capability in a package that turns heads at camp and delivers downrange.

The 6.5-300 Weatherby Magnum is a serious cartridge—fast, flat-shooting, and capable at extended range. The 1-in-8 twist rate stabilizes modern high-weight 6.5mm projectiles, and the three-round magazine with one in the chamber gives you quick follow-up shots if needed. The Mark V's proven action has been trusted by hunters worldwide, and this Deluxe variant wraps it in genuine AA walnut with diamond-point checkering and rosewood furniture that signals both quality and intent.

Handling details matter on a rifle you'll carry into the field. The Pachmayr Decelerator recoil pad tames the magnum's kick, while the Monte Carlo comb and drop specifications (0.375" at the comb, 1.625" at the heel) support solid scope mounting and a natural shooting position. The 13.5" length of pull and 46.625" overall length suit most adult hunters. This is a rifle that respects tradition but doesn't ask you to compromise on utility or ballistics.

Frequently Asked Questions

What makes the 6.5-300 Weatherby Magnum different from standard 6.5 cartridges?

The 6.5-300 Weatherby Magnum is a high-velocity magnum cartridge designed for long-range hunting with superior velocity and energy retention. It's built for hunters pursuing game at extended distances or who demand flatter trajectory and wind resistance compared to standard 6.5 rounds.

Is this rifle suitable for long-range hunting?

Yes. The 6.5-300 Weatherby Magnum, 26-inch barrel, and 1-in-8 twist rate combine to support extended-range hunting applications. The rifle's construction and magnum capability make it suitable for hunters pursuing distant game, though your success will also depend on optics, ammunition, and your own shooting skill.

What kind of scope mounting and accessories will work with this rifle?

The Mark V Deluxe has a drilled and tapped receiver for standard scope rings and bases. Consult Weatherby's documentation or a gunsmith to confirm current mounting options and compatibility with your preferred scope setup. The rifle does not ship with a scope.

Does this rifle come with a muzzle brake?

No. This model does not include a muzzle brake installed. The Accubrake ST is installed on select Weatherby magnum calibers (.30-378, .338-378, .340, .378, .416, .460), but not on the 6.5-300 Weatherby Magnum variant.
