Weatherby Mark V Apex 270 Wby Mag 28" Bolt-Action Rifle

The Weatherby Mark V Apex 270 Wby Mag is a long-range hunting rifle that combines the legendary reliability of Weatherby's Mark V steel action with modern materials and recoil management to deliver accuracy and shootability across terrain and distance. Built on a platform trusted by serious hunters and marksmen, this 28" rifle strips weight where it counts while maintaining the rigidity needed for consistent performance in the field.

What sets the Apex apart is its carbon fiber stock—the Peak 44 Bastion—which tips the scales at just 23 ounces and features an ambidextrous palm swell and thumb groove designed for repeatable, comfortable shooting from any position. The dual swivel studs give you flexibility in how you set up your rifle for hunting or range work. Paired with a fluted barrel dressed in two-tone Coyote Tan and Graphite Black Cerakote, the rifle wears a purposeful aesthetic that doesn't sacrifice function for looks.

The 3DHEX recoil pad is engineered specifically to manage the report of the .270 Weatherby Magnum: its 3D-printed structure creates interlocking voids that progressively collapse during firing, stretching out the recoil impulse and reducing felt kick. Combined with the Accubrake ST—a muzzle brake with 30 symmetrically-spaced ports—you get genuine, noticeable management of magnum recoil without sacrificing sight picture recovery. The spiral-fluted bolt body shaves weight and smooths operation without compromise.

If you're building a rifle that earns its place on backcountry hunts or sits ready for long-distance accuracy work, the Mark V Apex delivers the engineering and materials to make that happen.

Frequently Asked Questions

What makes the 3DHEX recoil pad different from a standard pad?

The 3DHEX pad is 3D-printed with a series of interlocking voids inside that progressively collapse during recoil. This design extends the recoil impulse over a longer time period, which significantly reduces felt recoil and helps you stay on target for follow-up shots—especially important with a magnum like the .270 Weatherby.

How much does the carbon fiber stock weigh, and why does that matter?

The Peak 44 Bastion stock weighs just 23 ounces, making it among the lightest production vertical-grip carbon fiber stocks available. Weight savings in the stock translate to a more maneuverable, easier-to-carry rifle in the field without sacrificing the rigidity you need for accuracy.

Can I attach bipods or slings to this rifle?

Yes. The stock features dual swivel studs on the forend, giving you multiple options for mounting bipods, slings, and other field accessories.

Is this rifle suitable for long-range hunting?

The Mark V Apex is built on the proven Weatherby Mark V action and designed to deliver accuracy across distance. The 28" barrel, recoil management system, and quality components make it well-suited for long-range hunting applications where precision matters.
