This Weatherby Mark V Deluxe .300 Weatherby Magnum 26 in Walnut RH is the kind of rifle that makes you slow down and appreciate the craftsmanship. It pairs a high-gloss AA walnut Monte Carlo stock with traditional cut checkering and a deep blue finish on the action and 26-inch barrel. Chambered in the hard-hitting .300 Weatherby Magnum, it’s built for long-range field work and shooters who value classic materials over synthetic stocks. The TriggerTech trigger breaks clean and crisp, and the hinged floorplate magazine makes reloading quick. If you want a full-size sporting rifle that looks as good as it shoots, this is it.

Key Features
- Classic AA Walnut Monte Carlo Stock – Why it matters: The high-gloss finish and hand-cut checkering give you a traditional look that stands out at the range or in the field, plus the Monte Carlo comb helps align your eye with a scope for consistent cheek weld.
- 26-Inch Barrel with .300 Weatherby Magnum Chambering – Why it matters: That extra barrel length maximizes velocity for the .300 Wby Mag, pushing heavier bullets flat and fast for ethical shots on elk, moose, and long-range steel.
- TriggerTech Trigger – Why it matters: Factory-crisp pull with no creep or overtravel means you can break shots cleanly without yanking the rifle off target — a real advantage when the wind is gusting.
- Hinged Floorplate Magazine – Why it matters: Unloads quickly without cycling rounds through the action, and the floorplate lets you clear the magazine in seconds when crossing fences or entering a vehicle.
- Forged, One-Piece Bolt with Nine Locking Lugs – Why it matters: The 54-degree bolt lift gives you fast cycling and plenty of scope clearance, while the nine-lug design locks up tight for consistent accuracy shot after shot.
Who It’s For
This rifle is for the shooter who appreciates walnut and blue steel — the traditionalist who wants a hunting rifle that doubles as a conversation piece. It’s also for the long-range hunter who needs the extra horsepower of the .300 Weatherby Magnum to reach out past 400 yards on big game. First-time buyers looking for a premium bolt gun that will last a lifetime will find the Mark V Deluxe delivers on both looks and performance.
Pros & Cons
- Pros: Classic styling with modern trigger tech; flat-shooting .300 Wby Mag cartridge; smooth 54-degree bolt throw; hinged floorplate for fast unloading.
- Cons: Weight (approx. 8.5 lbs) is on the heavier side for backcountry hunts; the Monte Carlo stock can be picky about scope mounting height; Weatherby ammunition is pricier than common calibers like .308 Win.

FAQ
Is the Weatherby Mark V Deluxe a good rifle for long-range target shooting?
Yes. The 26-inch barrel and .300 Weatherby Magnum chambering give it the velocity to reach 1,000 yards, and the TriggerTech trigger helps you shoot tight groups. That said, it’s a hunting-weight rifle, so it’s not a heavy benchrest gun — but for field accuracy, it’s hard to beat.
What scope mounts fit the Mark V Deluxe?
The receiver is drilled and tapped for Weatherby-style bases (two-piece). Most quality rings like Leupold, Talley, or Warne will work. Because of the Monte Carlo stock, choose medium or high rings to ensure clearance for the bolt handle and scope objective.
Can I shoot .300 Win Mag ammo in this rifle?
No. The .300 Weatherby Magnum is a different cartridge with a larger case and higher pressure. Do not attempt to fire .300 Win Mag in a .300 Wby Mag chamber. Stick to Weatherby-branded or SAAMI-spec .300 Weatherby Magnum ammunition.
How many rounds does the magazine hold?
The hinged floorplate magazine holds three rounds total — two in the magazine plus one in the chamber. It’s a standard capacity for a magnum hunting rifle.
Is the stock on the Mark V Deluxe real walnut?
Yes, it’s genuine AA-grade walnut with a high-gloss finish and hand-cut checkering. Weatherby sources their walnut stocks from select suppliers, and the Deluxe grade gets the best grain figure.
