Key Features
- Mark V Bolt Action: Why it matters — The nine-lug bolt head provides a 54° bolt lift, allowing fast follow-up shots while handling the extreme chamber pressures of the .460 Weatherby Magnum with absolute reliability.
- Gloss AA Walnut Monte Carlo Stock: Why it matters — Hand-selected walnut with a high-gloss finish not only looks elegant but also offers a stable, moisture-resistant platform that withstands field conditions, with a raised comb for proper scope alignment.
- Fluted, Threaded Barrel: Why it matters — The fluting reduces weight and aids cooling during sustained fire, while the threaded muzzle accepts a muzzle brake or suppressor, taming the .460’s recoil for more comfortable shooting.
- Pachmayr-Style Decelerator Recoil Pad: Why it matters — This pad absorbs up to 30% more recoil than standard pads, making the .460 Magnum manageable for extended range sessions without compromising the rifle’s classic lines.
- Rosewood Fore-end Tip and Grip Cap: Why it matters — These traditional accents reflect Weatherby’s heritage of fine finishes, adding a touch of luxury that distinguishes the Deluxe from utilitarian hunting rifles.
Who It’s For
This rifle is purpose-built for the experienced hunter who pursues dangerous game—Cape buffalo, elephant, or brown bear—in remote regions where a single, authoritative shot must count. It also appeals to the collector who values Weatherby’s place in firearms history and appreciates the marriage of old-world wood craftsmanship with modern ballistics. If you demand a rifle that performs as a tool of survival and a piece of art, the Mark V Deluxe is your companion.
