Lightweight rifles that retain long-range punch and field-proven ergonomics are rare. For hunters and precision shooters who demand magnum performance without carrying a heavy package into the backcountry, this rifle balances weight, accuracy, and recoil management in a purposeful build.

WEATHERBY MARK V ULTRA LIGHT 6.5-300 WBY MAG

Why this platform matters

The Weatherby Mark V Ultra Light 6.5-300 WBY MAG is built to deliver a big-bore cartridge in a lightweight package. At its core this rifle pairs a hand-lapped, blackened stainless fluted 28″ barrel with Weatherby’s bolt action pedigree, providing the backbone needed for consistent long-range groups. The fluted, free-floated barrel with a recessed target crown optimizes harmonics and protects the muzzle edge for more consistent impacts downrange.

Key features and field advantages

Stock and bedding

The rifle uses a hand-laminated, raised-comb Monte Carlo composite stock with an aluminum bedding block. That Monte Carlo geometry aids repeatable cheek weld for optics, while the aluminum bedding block stabilizes the action-to-stock interface for accuracy in changing temperatures and conditions. The matte gel coat finish and spider-web accents reduce glare and add a durable surface for rugged use.

Recoil, trigger, and feeding

Despite the magnum chambering, the Pachmayr Decelerator recoil pad helps mitigate felt recoil for extended shooting sessions. The factory tuned full adjustable trigger lets shooters set a crisp, user-specific pull for precision work. Feeding is handled by an internal magazine with a three-round capacity—compact and reliable for hunting scenarios where magazine profile and balance matter.

Caliber applications and pricing

The 6.5-300 WBY MAG offers very high velocity and long-range capability suitable for extended-range hunting and precision field work where energy retention and flat trajectory are priorities. As a Weatherby offering, the platform is notable for its action strength and ballistic performance. The rifle is listed at $1996.99 on the shop page—view product details and pricing by clicking View product details and pricing.
