Description
The Weatherby Mark V Deluxe .243 Win 22in Walnut Monte Carlo is the benchmark for anyone who demands sub-MOA accuracy from a factory rifle without sacrificing the soul of a classic wood-and-steel build. Chambered in .243 Winchester with a 22-inch barrel, this right-hand bolt action ships with a Gloss AA walnut Monte Carlo stock, a TriggerTech trigger, and an Accubrake ST muzzle device. It feeds from a 4+1 magazine, and the 1:7.5 twist rate stabilizes heavier bullets for precision work at extended ranges. This is a purpose-built competition and field rifle that rewards the shooter who knows exactly what they need.

Key Features
- TriggerTech Trigger – Why it matters: This two-stage trigger breaks clean at a consistent pull weight, eliminating creep and letting you call your shots with confidence in competition stages.
- Accubrake ST Muzzle Device – Why it matters: Reduces perceived recoil by up to 53%, keeping your sight picture on target for faster follow-up shots during timed strings.
- 1:7.5 Twist Rate – Why it matters: That tight twist stabilizes 85–105 grain bullets with ease, making this rifle ready for long-range precision loads that lighter twists can’t handle.
- Gloss AA Walnut Monte Carlo Stock – Why it matters: Combines classic aesthetics with a raised comb and cheekpiece for a natural cheek weld, improving repeatability shot after shot.
- Drilled-and-Tapped Receiver – Why it matters: Ready to accept any standard scope base out of the box, saving you gunsmith time and getting you on the range faster.
Who It’s For
This rifle is built for the competitive shooter who splits time between PRS-style matches, NRL Hunter events, and long-range steel sessions. It also appeals to the precision enthusiast who wants a do-it-all field rifle that can reach out to 800+ yards without a chassis system. If you value wood craftsmanship but refuse to compromise on mechanical accuracy, this is your platform.

Pros:

FAQ
What is the twist rate on the Weatherby Mark V Deluxe .243?
