Weatherby MAX01N338LR8B Mark V Apex .338 Lapua Magnum 26″ 7mm PRC 26″ Graphite Black & Tan Cerakote Fluted Threaded Barrel, Tan Cerakote Steel Drilled & Tapped Receiver, Carbon Fiber w/Brown & Tan Spo

Description

The Weatherby Mark V Apex .338 is a bolt action rifle in .338 Lapua Magnum with a 26" barrel, a 1:9.3 twist and 2-round capacity plus one chambered.

A long barrel gives the cartridge room to build velocity, at the cost of handling in tight spaces and some added weight. That is the standard twist for this cartridge, and it stabilizes the bullet weights most factory ammunition is loaded with. It ships without iron sights, so plan on an optic and a way to mount it: a red dot or holographic sits on a rail, a scope needs rings and a base, and a rifle with neither needs a mount first.

The .338 Lapua Magnum is commonly chosen for extreme long-range shooting. Heavy and hard-recoiling, chosen when reach outweighs comfort.

The Weatherby Apex is where long-range accuracy meets lightweight hunting. Includes Accubrake ST. 2" muzzle brake + barrel length.
