WTHBY MAX01N653WR8B MKV APEX 6.5-300 WBY 26IN

Description

The Weatherby Wthby Mkv Apex is a bolt action in 6.5×300 Weatherby Mag with a 26" barrel, a 1:8 twist and 3-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 budget for an optic, rings and a base if you do not already have them.

Bolt actions are commonly chosen for hunting and target shooting, where the simpler mechanism and rigid lockup are valued.

This is a serialized firearm. It ships to a licensed dealer near you rather than to your door, and you complete the transfer there with a Form 4473 and a background check. State and local rules govern what can be shipped where, so check yours before ordering – and if you are unsure, ask us first.

Welcome to the top of the food chain, the Mark V APEX is where long-range accuracy meets lightweight hunting. The APEX is built on the iconic Weatherby Mark V steel action and comes with a fluted two-toned cerakoted barrel. Equipped with Peak 44s Bastion stock, among the lightest production vertical grip carbon fiber stocks on the market, weighing in at just 23 ounces. It features a comfortable ambidextrous palm swell and a substantial thumb groove to promote proper form while shooting. The forend features dual sling studs to allow the shooter multiple options when deciding on accessories. This upgraded stock allows shooters to comfortably and accurately shoot from all positions not only at the range but in the harshest of conditions while in the field. Also grabbing the eye is the second generation 3DHEX recoil pad, the first production 3D printed pad the firearms world has seen. Hidden inside the pad is a series of interlocking voids that progressively collapse during recoil, expanding the time component of the recoil impulse and deadening the sharp kick of magnum chamberings. This means less felt recoil resulting in better accuracy downrange. More pronounced spiral fluting on the bolt body not only trims weight but also reduces the bearing surface within the action and results in smoother bolt function. Fit with Weatherbys highly-effective Accubrake ST, this brake is blended to match the profile of the muzzle. With 30 symmetrically-spaced ports that help harness the recoil, it tames even magnum chamberings.
