Weatherby Mark V Hunter Bolt Action Rifle .300 Weatherby Magnum 26" Barrel 3 Round Capacity Drilled & Tapped Black Speckled Urban Gray Synthetic Stock Burnt Bronze Finish
The Mark V Hunter has a signature multi-lug bolt system inspired by the interrupted thread style of lockup. The Standard version employs a six lug design while the beefier Magnum uses nine locking lugs, enabling these actions to safely chamber the hottest commercially-available cartridges on the market. It is also fitted with a freshly-designed stock. The Hunter's stock features the same trim, flat-bottomed forend, ambidextrous palm swells, aluminum pillar construction. Threaded 1/228 for use with a suppressor or brake, the barreled action is sealed under a shell of bronze Cerakote, shielding it from the elements. A deeply-fluted bolt with removable knob not only trims a little weight and helps clear dust and debris, it also reduces the bearing surface within the action resulting in smoother operation. Other safety features include three rings of steel around the base of the cartridge when its in battery, a fully-enclosed bolt shroud and three gas relief ports in the bolt body to vent pressure in the case of an ammunition failure.

The Below Information Has Been Provided From Our Gun Caliber Dictionary And Is Meant For Informational Purposes Only. It Is Not Intended to Describe The Unique Specifications For This Ammunition.
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. — Craig Boddington
