It has a short 54 degree bolt lift for fast cycling and plenty of scope clearance, and magnum versions use a nine lug bolt while standard cartridges use a slimmer six lug bolt. Weatherby backs Mark V rifles with a sub-MOA accuracy guarantee when used with Weatherby or premium factory ammunition. The Apex is a top tier Mark V built for long shots in hard country, with premium components throughout.

The 270 Weatherby Magnum
The 270 Weatherby Magnum is a Weatherby cartridge built for high velocity and flat trajectories. Weatherby chambers use freebore, and ammo costs more and is harder to find than common rounds, so stock up before hunting season.
Big Game Hunting
This rifle suits big game hunting, from deer and pronghorn to elk depending on caliber. Confirm your zero before the season and know your effective range.
Buying Tips

Care and Value
Wipe the metal down after wet hunts, clean the bore regularly and store the rifle in a dry place. Weatherby rifles hold their value well.
