Weatherby Mark V Accumark RC (Range Certified) Rifle
Weatherby.com
Paso Robles, CA - -(Ammoland.com)- Weatherby features “Range Certified” accuracy assurance in its Mark V rifle line with the new Accumark RC, which comes with a SUB-MOA guarantee as well as a factory-shot target signed by company President Ed Weatherby.
Mark V Accumark RC rifles are tested at Weatherby’s modern indoor range. Range technicians mount premium optics, boresight and test fire each rifle to determine the most accurate load using the Oehler Research 83 Ballistic Imaging System. After testing, the rifle is cleaned and packed with the target signed by Ed Weatherby. Each rifle sports a special RC engraved floorplate.
“Our Range Certified program now includes the Mark V Accumark, one of our most popular rifles among hunters and shooters,” Ed Weatherby commented. “The Mark V Accumark RC is certainly one of the most accurate production rifles available today.”
All RC rifles are guaranteed to shoot SUB-MOA (a three-shot group of .99-inch or less) with specified Weatherby factory or premium ammunition.
The Mark V Accumark RC offers multiple accuracy-enhancing features, including a hand-laminated raised comb Monte Carlo composite stock with matte gel coat finish and spiderweb accents. It also features a button-rifled #3 contour stainless steel fluted barrel. The barrel, which comes in 24-, 26- and 28-inch lengths depending on caliber, is free floated and topped with a recessed target crown. A Pachmayr Decelerator pad on the buttstock helps reduce felt recoil.
A CNC-machined 6061 T-6 aluminum bedding plate provides a solid, stable platform for the barreled action. The trigger is factory tuned and fully adjustable.
The Mark V Accumark RC is available in 14 calibers: .240 Wby. Mag., .270 Win., .308 Win., .30-06 Springfield, .257 Wby. Mag., .270 Wby. Mag., 7mm Rem. Mag., 7mm Wby. Mag., .300 Win. Mag., .300 Wby. Mag., .30-378 Wby. Mag., .338-378 Wby. Mag., .340 Wby. Mag. and .338 Lapua. Additional calibers and left-hand models are available through the Weatherby Custom Shop.
Manufacturer’s suggested retail price is $2,400 for all calibers except for the .30-378 Wby. Mag., .338-378 Wby. Mag and .338 Lapua, which are $2,700. For more information, contact a local Weatherby dealer, call the company at (805) 227-2600 or visit www.weatherby.com.

Does the rifle come with a mounted scope? Was the “sub-moa” 3 shot group made with iron sights? If so, at what distance.
I can build a new rifle or refurbish a used rifle with decent scope for a lot less than $2,700 dollars and establish a sub-moa performer given a little time, range time, good ammo, and patience.
With the economy doing so great im sure this will fly off the shelves. This aint no working mans rifle. I second RichardH.
I purchased two Mark V Deluxes back in the early ‘90s, one a 24” bbl .300 Wby and the other a 26” bbl .340 Wby. Both rifles were made in Japan and both shoot excellent groups on targets and game. At the time Weatherby’s were guaranteed to shoot 1-1/2” groups at 100 yards. The .300 will still shoot a 3/8” 3-shot group with factory ammo and the .340 will shoot 5/8” groups. I paid $800.00 apiece for each rifle back then and another $400.00+ for the Leupold scopes and mounts; both rifles came with high figure wood and Weatherby’s early fiberglass stocks. Twenty years ago we were suffering through an earlier cyclical recession and that amount of money was dear. I had saved for fifteen years for those rifles and have never regretted it. Since that time I’ve been fortunate to purchase several Vanguard rifles in standard calibers and I have been very happy with the accuracy and finish of those rifles too.
