We look for crisp triggers, rock-solid barrels, and optics that frame the target clearly. For shooters who demand sub-MOA performance from a complete, ready-to-shoot package, this rifle checks the boxes and then some.

Key features and why they matter
Krieger Custom Barrel
Krieger barrels are a gold standard in match-grade accuracy. The precision rifling and consistent bore dimensions deliver repeatable velocities and minimal dispersion. Matched to the Mark V action, the Krieger barrel is a core reason this configuration earns a SUB MOA guarantee on properly loaded ammunition.
Swarovski X5i 5-25×56
High-magnification, bright glass is essential for making the most of a precision rifle. The Swarovski X5i 5-25×56 provides a clean optical field, precise reticle options, and reliable adjustments for elevation and windage. For shooters engaged at extended ranges or in varying light conditions, this scope makes target acquisition and ranging more reliable.
LXX Trigger
The LXX trigger is a match-oriented, crisp unit designed to reduce lock time and improve shot-to-shot consistency. A calm, predictable break and minimal creep are what you want when pushing for sub-MOA groups; the LXX trigger delivers a feel that encourages follow-through and consistent shot placement.
Huxwerks Muzzle Brake
Recoil management translates directly into quicker follow-up shots and better target acquisition. The Huxwerks muzzle brake reduces felt recoil and muzzle rise, pairing with the rifle’s balance to keep shots on target — especially important with higher-velocity cartridges.
Caliber: 257 WBY MAG — ballistics and applications
The package featured here is chambered in 257 WBY MAG, a Weatherby magnum derivative known for high velocity and flat trajectory. For hunters and precision shooters seeking a fast, efficient ballistic that performs well on medium-sized game and delivers long-range reach, the 257 WBY MAG is a strong choice. It offers energetic impacts at distance while maintaining manageable recoil when combined with the Huxwerks brake and the LXX trigger system.
Where the 257 WBY MAG excels
– Long-range hunting for medium game where flat trajectory and terminal performance matter.
– Precision target work that benefits from high velocity and stable long-range ballistics.
– Shooters who want an efficient magnum cartridge without the extreme recoil of larger magnums.
Fit, finish, and the Mark V action
Weatherby’s Mark V action has a storied history for strength and smooth operation. The KRC variant builds on that foundation, delivering a polished bolt throw and precise headspace control that match the Krieger barrel’s consistency. The bedding, stock fit, and overall ergonomics are tailored to provide a stable platform for the optic and shooter alike. Being a bolt action, the rifle emphasizes reliability and mechanical simplicity — attributes valued by competitors, field hunters, and precision shooters alike.
Range performance and handling
On the range the combination of Krieger barrel and Swarovski optics makes small groups feel achievable. The LXX trigger’s clean break helps translate sight-picture into tight groups, while the Huxwerks brake mitigates the recoil impulse so the shooter can stay on target for follow-up shots. Whether dialing for elevation at long distance or holding for wind, the setup is predictable and balanced — a practical package for those who want a rifle capable of sub-MOA shooting out of the box.
Buying considerations and value
At $5,392.99, the WEATHERBY MARK V KRC is positioned as a premium, assembled-at-manufacturer rifle. The value proposition is built on the included high-end components: a Krieger barrel, Swarovski optic, LXX trigger, and Huxwerks brake — all integrated and tuned to Weatherby’s standards. For buyers who value time saved on component selection and headwork, the turnkey aspect is a major advantage.
