Weatherby MHU05N653WR6T MKV Hunter Bronze 6.5-300WBY 26

The impressive Weatherby MHU05N653WR6T sets the standard for the Weatherby Mark V range, boasting an array of chamber options and a newly-designed stock. Its stock mimics the shape and ergonomics of the Mark V Backcountry 2.0 rifle collection, which was launched earlier in 2021. The Hunter's polymer stock presents similar characteristics such as a sleek, flat-bottomed forend, ambidextrous palm swells, and a Smoke & Burnt Bronze Speckle finish.

This model adopts the Mark V's signature multi-lug bolt system, known for being the world's strongest action. Inspired by the interrupted thread style of lockup, it is available in both Standard and Magnum action sizes. The Standard incorporates a six lug design, whereas the substantial Magnum comprises nine locking lugs, providing the capacity to safely chamber the most powerful commercially-available cartridges. Further safety measures include three steel rings around the cartridge base, a fully-enclosed bolt shroud, and three gas relief ports in the bolt body, which vent pressure during an ammunition failure.

The Mark V Hunter's barreled action, threaded 1/228 for compatibility with a suppressor or brake, is encased in Burnt Bronze Cerakote for protection against the elements. A deep-fluted bolt reduces weight and bearing surface within the action, resulting in smoother operation. An extended, removable bolt knob facilitates a precise bolt throw and offers customization options for the shooter's preference.

Available in a variety of cartridges, from the unique Weatherby Magnum chamberings to the classic American ones, the Mark V Hunter is perfect for gun enthusiasts with varied tastes. Barrel, Receiver, and Trigger Guard feature a distinguished Burnt Bronze Cerakote finish. The #1 & #2 Contour 1/228 Thread Protector also sports a Burnt Bronze Cerakote finish. Bolts, Bolt Knob, and Safety feature a Graphite Black Cerakote finish. The revolutionary Mark V Advanced Polymer stock comes in a striking Smoke & Bronze Speckle hue, making this model stand out amongst its peers.
