Weatherby 300 Weatherby Magnum Rifle 26" #3 Barrel, 3+1 Magazine Capacity, Range Certified TerraMark, Composite Spiderweb Accent Stock Md: MADM300WR6O
Featuring the first significant refinements of this classic rifle since its original introduction in 1958.
The New Mark V® stocks have been ergonomically enhanced with a slimmer forearm and sharper, more distinctive lines and contours. The grip diameter has been reduced, a slight right-hand palm swell has been added and overall weight reduced. The lighter weight results in increased comfort, control, quicker to the shoulder mounting, and faster target acquisition.
The Mark V® trigger has always been outstanding, and now we’ve made it even better with the introduction of the LXX™ Trigger. The engagement surfaces are precision ground and polished. Overall tolerances refined. A new, wider trigger face increases trigger-to-finger contact, all for a more consistent and comfortable pull. Adjustable down to 2.5 lbs., the new LXX™ Trigger will amaze you with every single round fired.
The New Mark V® rifles all come with our SUB-MOA accuracy guarantee. Our handlapped barrels ensure that the bullet’s flight path will be true and consistent and when combined with the enhanced shooter experience of the New Mark V®, it is the best rifle you will ever purchase. Now, no matter which Weatherby® rifle you choose, whether it’s an Ultra Lightweight for sheep hunting in Alaska or an Accumark for whitetails in Texas, you can trust every shot will be right on the money - guaranteed.

The information below comes from our Gun Caliber Dictionary and is for
general reference only. It does not describe the specifications of this
particular item.
The 300 Weatherby Magnum was wildcatted by Roy Weatherby in 1944 and was among his initial cartridges when he went into production in 1945. The 300 Weatherby Magnum remains the flagship of the Weatherby line, the most popular of the Weatherby Magnums. It is based on the 300 H&H case blown out, retaining the full (2.85-inch) case length and adding Weatherby's distinctive "double Venturi" shoulder. It is thus just one of numerous "improved" versions of the 300 H&H, but easily the most popular and the only one readily available in factory form. The 300 Weatherby Magnum is fast, flat-shooting, and powerful, and has been the choice of many serious globe-trotting hunters since its inception. Factory loads are available from Federal, Hornady, and Remington as well as Weatherby. Weatherby factory loads include: 150-grain bullet at 3540 feet per second; 165-grain bullet at 3390; and 180-grain bullet at 3240.
