The Weatherby Mark V Apex 6.5 WBY RPM is a lightweight, long-range bolt-action rifle purpose-built for hunters who refuse to compromise between accuracy and field-ready weight. Built on Weatherby's proven Mark V steel action, this rifle pairs a 26-inch fluted barrel with the Peak 44 Bastion carbon fiber stock—one of the lightest production vertical grip stocks available at just 23 ounces—to deliver sub-5-pound performance in magnum territory without sacrificing the ergonomics or durability needed for serious hunts.
The 6.5 WBY RPM cartridge punches well above its class, delivering the velocity and energy hunters expect from a Weatherby magnum while feeding reliably through the Mark V's time-tested controlled-feed design. The barrel wears a two-tone Coyote Tan and Graphite Black Cerakote finish that sheds weather and tames glare, while spiral fluting on the bolt reduces bearing surface and weight while smoothing bolt throw under field conditions. The Accubrake ST muzzle brake—fitted to blend seamlessly with the barrel profile—features 30 symmetrically-spaced ports that manage recoil effectively, a critical asset in a lightweight magnum platform.
Comfort matters on long days in the field, and the Bastion stock delivers with an ambidextrous palm swell and substantial thumb groove to promote consistent form from any position. The dual forend swivel studs give you flexibility to mount shooting supports or slings. The 3DHEX recoil pad is a genuine innovation: its interlocking 3D-printed voids progressively collapse during recoil, extending the impulse duration and significantly reducing felt kick—making those magnum shots more controllable and follow-ups faster and more accurate.
If you hunt long-range, spend time in rugged country, or simply demand precision in a package you can carry all day, the Mark V Apex brings serious capability without the weight penalty that typically comes with magnum performance.
