Weatherby Mark V Camilla Deluxe 6.5 Creedmoor Rifle

Description

Picture this: you’re glassing a ridgeline at first light, the Missouri frost still clinging to the grass. You need a rifle that’s as steady as your breath, with the reach to make an ethical shot count. When it comes to precision hunting, you need a tool that bridges the gap between heirloom-grade craftsmanship and modern ballistic performance. That’s the domain of the Weatherby Mark V Camilla Deluxe.

The Weatherby Mark V Camilla Deluxe 6.5 Creedmoor, 24″ Barrel, AA Fancy Grade Walnut, 4 rd is a premium, female-centric hunting rifle chambered in the versatile 6.5 Creedmoor cartridge. It features a 24-inch barrel for optimal velocity, a stunning AA Fancy Grade walnut stock with a 13-inch length of pull, and the renowned Mark V action known for strength and safety. This rifle is designed for the serious huntress who demands both exceptional accuracy and classic aesthetics in the field.

Let’s start with the heart of the system: the Mark V action. With its signature nine locking lugs, it provides a 54-degree bolt lift for fast, unobstructed cycling. This isn’t just about smooth operation—it’s about a secure lockup that handles modern pressures with a significant safety margin. The 6.5 Creedmoor cartridge is a perfect partner here, offering flat trajectory, manageable recoil, and decisive terminal performance on medium game like whitetail, mule deer, and pronghorn. The 24-inch barrel length is the sweet spot for this caliber, allowing the efficient 6.5 Creedmoor powder to burn completely and squeeze out every last foot-per-second of velocity for longer shots.

The Camilla stock is where this rifle truly distinguishes itself. Carved from AA Fancy Grade walnut, it presents a deep, rich grain that’s finished to a high-gloss sheen. The 13-inch length of pull and a more slender grip circumference are specifically scaled for a more natural, comfortable fit for most female shooters. That said, any shooter who prefers a shorter stock will appreciate the ergonomics. It’s a rifle that fits out of the box, requiring no gunsmithing to achieve a proper cheek weld and sight alignment. The stock features classic cut checkering for a positive grip in all weather conditions, and it’s capped with a high-quality, solid rubber recoil pad to tame what little recoil the 6.5 Creedmoor produces.

Here are the key specifications for this model:

Caliber	6.5 Creedmoor
Barrel Length	24 Inches
Magazine Capacity	4 Rounds
Stock Material	AA Fancy Grade Walnut
Overall Length	Approx. 44.5 Inches
Weight	Approx. 7.5 lbs

Pros: The 6.5 Creedmoor is one of the most effective and popular hunting cartridges available, known for its accuracy and downrange energy. The Mark V action is supremely strong and reliable. The AA Fancy Grade walnut stock is a true showpiece that also provides excellent ergonomics. The rifle comes ready for optics with a drilled and tapped receiver.

Cons: With a price point of $2145.07, this is a significant investment. The high-gloss finish and fancy wood, while beautiful, are less forgiving of scratches and dings in harsh field conditions than a synthetic or matte-finished stock. The 7.5-pound weight is manageable but not ultralight for long backcountry hikes.

So who is this rifle for? It’s built for the huntress who views her firearm as both a precision tool and a personal statement. It’s for the woman who spends seasons in the stand or the blind, who understands ballistics, and who appreciates the warmth and tradition of fine walnut. It’s also an excellent choice for any shooter with a smaller frame who wants a premium, factory-fit hunting rifle in a supremely capable caliber. This rifle is available at firearms-missouri.com for Missouri residents and nationwide, with an FFL transfer required for firearm purchases.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Is this rifle only for women?

A: Not at all. While the Camilla line is designed with female ergonomics in mind—specifically the 13-inch length of pull and slimmer grip—any shooter who finds a standard 13.5-inch stock too long will appreciate the fit. The performance and quality are universal.

Q: What type of scope base does it use?

A: The Weatherby Mark V Camilla Deluxe features a drilled and tapped receiver compatible with standard Weatherby Mark V scope bases. Popular aftermarket bases from brands like Leupold, Talley, and Warne are readily available to mount your preferred optics, such as a Leupold VX-3HD or Vortex Razor HD LHT.

Q: Is the 6.5 Creedmoor suitable for elk hunting?

A: With careful shot placement and using appropriate premium hunting ammunition (140+ grain bonded or monolithic bullets), the 6.5 Creedmoor is capable of taking elk within reasonable ranges. However, many hunters and guides prefer cartridges with more bullet mass and energy, like the .300 Weatherby Magnum, for larger game like elk, especially at longer distances.
