Weatherby Mark V Backcountry Capra 308 Overview
The Mark V is Weatherby’s flagship bolt-action rifle, built in Sheridan, Wyoming. Its famous action uses a short 54-degree bolt lift, a fully enclosed bolt sleeve, and three gas ports for added safety, and Weatherby backs Mark V rifles with a sub-MOA accuracy guarantee when used with premium ammunition.
Design and Features
This Mark V Backcountry Capra configuration features a durable Cerakote finish that resists corrosion and wear, a lightweight carbon fiber stock, and a Peak 44 Bastion carbon stock. It weighs about 4.0 pounds and measures 36.5″ overall. The barrel has a 1:10 inch twist rate and a #1 MOD contour. The muzzle is threaded 1/2-28. Length of pull is 13.5″.
Handling in the Field
The Mark V carries well and points naturally, with a stock designed to manage recoil. Its combination of power, accuracy, and craftsmanship makes it a lifetime rifle for serious hunters.
Action and Trigger
The Mark V bolt runs smoothly with a short lift that keeps your hand clear of the scope, and the adjustable trigger breaks cleanly. The action is strong enough to handle Weatherby’s most powerful magnums.
Sights and Optics
Mount the optic of your choice with quality rings or a mount, and zero it with the load you plan to use.
The 308 Winchester Cartridge
The 308 Winchester is a proven, accurate full-power cartridge with plenty of energy for big game and long-range target work.
Setup and Accessories
Start with a quality optic and solid rings or a mount, then add a sling for carrying and a bipod or shooting bag for steady rests. Test a few loads for accuracy and settle on the one your rifle likes best. A hard case protects your investment on the way to the range or the field.
Ownership Tips
Read the owner manual fully before your first range trip, and keep the manual, box, and receipt with your records for warranty service and resale. Unload the rifle and confirm it is empty before cleaning. Field-strip it according to the owner manual, scrub the bore with a brush and patches, and wipe carbon from the bolt face and chamber. Apply a light coat of quality gun oil to the contact points, and wipe the exterior with a lightly oiled cloth before storage.
State Laws
Magazine capacity limits, feature restrictions, and transfer rules vary by state and locality. Check your local laws before ordering, and ask your receiving dealer if you are unsure whether this configuration is legal where you live.
Ordering and Transfer
When you order a firearm from MAG5 Firearms, we ship it to the licensed dealer you choose. Your dealer completes the ATF Form 4473 and the background check, and may charge a transfer fee. Local buyers can complete the transfer at our shop. Bring a valid ID, and check your state waiting period before you plan a hunt or a range trip.
Safe Storage
Store the firearm unloaded in a locked safe or case, with ammunition kept separately. A cable lock or trigger lock is a good backup, especially in a home with children or visitors. Keep the original box and paperwork, and record the serial number in a safe place in case the gun is ever lost or stolen.
