Weatherby Mark V Weathermark LT 6.5 Creedmoor 24" Green FDE Bolt-Action Rifle

The Weatherby Mark V Weathermark LT in 6.5 Creedmoor is a lightweight bolt-action rifle engineered for hunters who log miles in steep country. At 5.9 pounds, this rifle strips away excess weight without sacrificing the precision and durability that make the Mark V a standard in long-range and backcountry hunting. The 24-inch fluted barrel in a #2 contour profile keeps the rig manageable for pack-in hunts while the 1-in-8 twist rate handles modern 6.5 Creedmoor ammunition across a broad range of bullet weights. This is a rifle built to deliver sub-MOA accuracy when it counts—whether you're glassing from a ridge or making a clean cross-canyon shot.

Build quality reflects Weatherby's track record with precision rifles. The action features a 6-lug bolt with spiral fluting that reduces rotating mass without compromise, while hand-laid fiberglass Monte Carlo stock delivers a solid cheekweld and pairs aluminum bedding blocks for a rigid foundation. The finish stack is purpose-built for hard use: FDE Cerakote on the barrel, receiver, and trigger guard resists corrosion and harsh mountain conditions, while graphite black Cerakote on the bolt body and safety provides visual contrast and added protection. The two-tone aesthetic—green fiberglass stock with FDE speckle overlay—isn't just distinctive; it works in open terrain where rifles need to settle into the landscape.

Magazine capacity runs 4+1, and the 13.625-inch length of pull suits most shooters in standard frame sizes. With an overall length of 44.625 inches, the Weathermark LT profiles well in a scabbard or backcountry pack. Weatherby's commitment to this platform means parts, ammunition, and gunsmith support are readily available across the country.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is the Weatherby Mark V Weathermark LT a true lightweight rifle for backcountry hunting?

Yes. At 5.9 pounds, the Weathermark LT is built specifically for hunters who cover distance on foot. The #2 contour fluted barrel and spiral-fluted bolt reduce weight without compromising the structural integrity that long-range shooting demands. This rifle is designed to minimize fatigue on multi-day backcountry trips while maintaining the accuracy expected from a Mark V platform.

What ammunition works best in the 1-in-8 twist barrel?

The 1-in-8 twist rate is optimized for 6.5 Creedmoor and stabilizes bullets across the full range of modern offerings in that caliber—from lighter target loads to heavy-for-caliber hunting rounds. Your choice of ammunition should match your intended use: target, hunting, or distance shooting.

Does this rifle come with a scope or mounting hardware?

The product information provided does not specify scope inclusion or mounting hardware. Contact us directly for details on what ships with your rifle and recommended optics platforms for the Mark V Weathermark LT.

What's the drop and comb height on the Monte Carlo stock?

The raised Monte Carlo comb sits 0.625 inches high, with a 0.875-inch drop at the comb and 1.625-inch drop at the heel. These dimensions are typical of a cheekweld-friendly hunting rifle profile and work well with most hunting scopes mounted at standard heights. If you're considering a particular optic system, verify clearance with your scope rings or rail height.
