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 44’s vertical grip carbon fiber stock marksmanship just got a whole lot lighter and much more comfortable.

The Peak 44 Bastion stock is 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 swivel 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 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.

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 Weatherby’s 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.
