WBY MK-V CAPRA BA 308 17B

Description

The Weatherby MK-V Capra Ba is a bolt action rifle in .308 / 7.62 NATO with a 17" barrel, a 1:10 twist and 2-round capacity plus one chambered.

This barrel length is the usual compromise: enough to develop most of the cartridge's velocity while still being manageable to carry all day, and short enough that a suppressor on the end does not make it unwieldy. That is the standard twist for this cartridge, and it stabilizes the bullet weights most factory ammunition is loaded with.

The .308 is commonly chosen for hunting, target shooting and general use. Probably the most versatile centerfire cartridge available – ammunition is everywhere, and it handles most North American game.
