WEATHERBY RIFLE

Weatherby Mark V Rifle – 6.5 WBY RPM (Hunter). Weatherby, Inc., is an American gun manufacturer founded in 1945 by Roy Weatherby. The Mark V rises head and shoulders above other bolt-action rifles. First and foremost, it has long been considered the strongest action in the world. The Mark V also has a lowest-in-class bolt rotation, clocking in at 54°. Less rotation allows for quicker reloads and the ability to mount scopes as close to the bore as possible. The forged, one-piece bolt is fluted and has relief ports and a full shroud to protect the user in the case of an ammunition failure. A smooth and silent two-position safety also serves as a bolt lock when in the ‘SAFE’ position.The goal of the 6.5 WBY RPM (Rebated Precision Magnum) was initially based on maximizing the potential of this great lightweight action. Setting out to produce the best backcountry rifle and cartridge combination ever, was a project not taken lightly. At its core, Weatherby prides itself in ballistic superiority. The rebated rim helps achieve the desired velocity and energy we were looking for while remaining compatible with our 6 lug action. After years of development, the 6.5 WBY RPM combination achieves weight savings, ballistic performance, and price that cannot be found in a rifle anywhere else. $1,500 Value.
