The Mark V APEX represents the pinnacle of long-range accuracy paired with lightweight hunting performance. Built around the legendary Weatherby Mark V steel action, this rifle features a fluted two-toned cerakoted barrel that combines durability with distinctive aesthetics. The Peak 44s Bastion stock is engineered from carbon fiber and ranks among the lightest production vertical grip stocks available, weighing just 23 ounces. Its ambidextrous palm swell and substantial thumb groove support proper shooting form across all positions, whether at the range or in demanding field conditions. Dual sling studs on the forend provide flexibility for accessory attachment options.
The second generation 3DHEX recoil pad stands out as the first production 3D printed pad in the firearms industry. Its internal structure consists of interlocking voids that progressively collapse during recoil, extending the duration of the recoil impulse and reducing the sharp kick characteristic of magnum chamberings. This design translates to measurably less felt recoil and improved accuracy downrange. The bolt body incorporates pronounced spiral fluting that decreases weight while reducing bearing surface within the action, resulting in smoother bolt operation. Weatherby’s Accubrake ST muzzle brake, fitted as standard, features 30 symmetrically-spaced ports designed to manage recoil effectively, making it well-suited for the demands of magnum ammunition like the 6.5-300 Weatherby Magnum chambering.
