Weatherby Mkv Apex Lh 308Win 26
The Weatherby Mark V APEX left-hand rifle in .308 Winchester with a 26-inch barrel brings together precision engineering and field-ready handling for hunters and long-range shooters who refuse to compromise on either accuracy or weight. Built on Weatherby's legendary Mark V steel action, the APEX combines a fluted, two-tone cerakoted barrel with Peak 44's Bastion carbon fiber stock—a pairing designed to deliver sub-MOA performance without the fatigue that comes from hauling a heavy rifle into the backcountry or across the range.
What sets the APEX apart is its obsessive attention to reducing mass without sacrificing rigidity or control. The Peak 44 Bastion stock tips the scales at just 23 ounces and features an ambidextrous palm swell and substantial thumb groove that work together to promote consistent form from any shooting position. Dual swivel studs on the forend give you flexibility in mounting accessories, while the exposed carbon fiber construction with tan and brown sponge accents looks as purposeful as it performs. The spiral-fluted bolt body shaves grams while smoothing operation and reducing bearing surface friction inside the action.
Recoil management gets its own innovation here: the 3DHEX recoil pad uses 3D-printed technology to create interlocking voids that progressively collapse during firing, stretching out the recoil impulse and noticeably reducing felt kick. Paired with Weatherby's Accubrake ST—a symmetrically-ported muzzle brake blended to match the barrel profile—even the snap of .308 Winchester becomes manageable. The two-tone finish (Coyote Tan and Graphite Black Cerakote on barrel and receiver, Graphite Black on the bolt and safety) is as much about function as aesthetics; it's proven durable in the field and designed to reduce glint when it matters.
This is a rifle built for hunters who put in the miles, shooters who demand precision at distance, and anyone who understands that carrying less weight means shooting more accurately when the moment comes.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is the Mark V APEX available for left-hand shooters?
Yes. This rifle is configured as a left-hand model, so it's ready to go straight out of the box for southpaws.
What makes the 3DHEX recoil pad different from a standard pad?
The 3DHEX pad is 3D-printed with interlocking voids inside that progressively collapse when the rifle fires. This design stretches out the recoil impulse over a longer time period, which deadens the sharp kick and reduces felt recoil—allowing you to stay on target for better follow-up shots and reducing shooter fatigue over a long session.
What is included with the rifle?
The rifle ships with the Mark V action, Peak 44 Bastion carbon fiber stock, spiral-fluted bolt, Weatherby Accubrake ST, and 3DHEX recoil pad. Confirm with Bosque Outdoors for any included accessories or documentation.
Why is the Peak 44 Bastion stock preferred for hunting?
At just 23 ounces, the Bastion stock keeps overall rifle weight low without sacrificing rigidity or control. The ambidextrous palm swell and thumb groove promote proper shooting form from any position, and the dual swivel studs let you customize how you mount a sling or other gear. For hunters covering distance on foot, that weight savings adds up fast.
