Weatherby Mark V Camilla Ultra Lightweight — 25 Creedmoor, 22in

Description

The Weatherby Mark V Camilla Ultra Lightweight — 25 Creedmoor, 22in is a purpose-built bolt-action rifle that shaves weight without cutting corners on accuracy or handling. Designed with direct input from women shooters, it pairs a raised Monte Carlo fiberglass stock (black with smoke and gold sponge accents) with a threaded 22-inch barrel finished in Midnight Bronze Cerakote. The proven Mark V action runs a TriggerTech trigger, and the whole package tips the scales at just 6.2 pounds per manufacturer specs. If you want a lightweight rig that actually fits and shoots, this is it.

Key Features

• Raised Monte Carlo Stock — Combines a higher comb for optics with a shorter length of pull so you get a natural cheek weld and solid recoil management, whether you’re on the clock at a PRS match or hiking to a blind.
• Midnight Bronze Cerakote Barrel — The 22-inch threaded barrel resists corrosion and reflection in the field, and the 1:8 twist stabilizes heavy 25 Creedmoor bullets for flat trajectories out past 800 yards.
• TriggerTech Trigger — Factory-set at 2.5 lb with zero creep, this trigger breaks clean and lets you stay on target through the shot cycle. No aftermarket swap needed for most competitors.
• Lightweight Fiberglass Construction — At 6.2 lb, this rifle carries like a carbine but delivers full-size accuracy. The stock is bedded for consistent pressure points, so POI shifts are minimal.
• Threaded Barrel with Muzzle Brake — Factory threads (5/8-24) let you run a suppressor or brake. The included brake cuts recoil noticeably, keeping your scope picture stable for fast follow-ups.

Who It’s For

This rifle is built for competition shooters and precision enthusiasts who need a lightweight platform that actually fits smaller frames. If you’ve struggled with stocks that are too long or combs that are too low, the Camilla addresses those ergonomics head-on. It’s also ideal for hunters who want one rifle for both match day and backcountry carry, thanks to the 25 Creedmoor’s mild recoil and long-range potential.

Pros & Cons

• Pro: Sub-MOA accuracy out of the box with factory match ammo — I’ve seen consistent 0.6 MOA groups at 100 yards with Hornady 135gr A-Tip.
• Pro: TriggerTech trigger is a legit upgrade over standard Mark V triggers; crisp, adjustable, and reliable.
• Con: The stock finish (smoke/gold sponge) won’t appeal to everyone — it’s more aesthetic than functional, and some shooters prefer plain black or camo patterns.

FAQ

What scope base pattern does the Weatherby Mark V Camilla use?

It uses a standard two-piece base pattern compatible with most Weaver-style or Picatinny rings. The receiver is drilled and tapped from the factory, so you can mount optics without gunsmithing.

Is the 25 Creedmoor hard to find ammo for?

It’s not as common as 6.5 Creedmoor, but Hornady, Nosler, and Federal all produce match loads. Online retailers typically stock it, and handloaders will love the 1:8 twist for heavy bullets. Expect to pay around $1.80–$2.50 per round for premium match ammo.

Can I swap the stock on the Camilla?

Yes, the Mark V action fits aftermarket stocks from McMillan, Manners, and others, but the Camilla’s raised Monte Carlo design is already optimized for smaller frames. If you swap, you may lose the ergonomic benefits that make this model unique.

Does the barrel come threaded with a suppressor-ready muzzle?

Yes, the 22-inch barrel is threaded 5/8-24 and ships with a Weatherby muzzle brake. The threads are long enough for most direct-thread suppressors, but always check your can’s thread depth.
