Key Features
- Carbon-fiber barrel – WHY IT MATTERS: Shaves nearly a pound off the barrel profile compared to steel, letting you carry this rifle all day on a mountain hunt without fatigue.
- MDT chassis system – WHY IT MATTERS: Gives you a rigid, free-floating barrel bed and adjustable length of pull and cheek rest, so you can dial in the fit for consistent shots.
- 25 Creedmoor chambering – WHY IT MATTERS: This cartridge offers a flatter trajectory than a .243 Win with less recoil than a 6.5 Creedmoor, making it ideal for long-range targets and medium game.
- Sub-MOA guarantee – WHY IT MATTERS: Weatherby backs this rifle to shoot under 1 MOA out of the box, so you’re not chasing accuracy upgrades right away.
- Cerakote finish on action – WHY IT MATTERS: Resists rust and wear from wet weather, keeping the action smooth even after a rainy day at the range.
