Weatherby Mark V Apex Features The Weatherby Mark V Apex is built on the iconic Mark V steel action a design known for its small bolt lift and rigid lockup that has defined Weatherby accuracy for decades. Chambered in the flat-shooting 7mm Backcountry cartridge the 20 barrel carries a 1-in-8 twist to stabilize the longer heavier bullets that make the cartridge effective at extended range. A threaded muzzle fitted with an AccuBrake ST significantly reduces felt recoil letting hunters stay on target for a fast follow-up shot. The TriggerTech trigger breaks crisply and consistently giving the shooter confidence that the rifle will do its part when the shot counts. Weight was clearly a priority in the Apex s design starting with the Peak 44 Bastion stock in exposed carbon fiber with a tan and brown sponge pattern accent that sheds ounces without sacrificing rigidity. The fluted barrel continues that theme cutting unnecessary mass while helping the barrel shed heat faster during strings of fire. A two-tone Flat Dark Earth and Graphite Black Cerakote finish covers the barrel receiver trigger guard bolt and bolt knob protecting every exposed metal surface against the elements on long backcountry hunts. Drilled and tapped for scope mounting and backed by a detachable 4-round magazine the Mark V Apex is ready to be built into a complete long-range hunting rig.
