Weatherby 257 Wthby Mag 26" 3+1 (Bolt) MAX01N257WR8B

Welcome to the top of the food chain, the Mark V Apex is where long-range accuracy meets lightweight hunting. Built on the iconic Weatherby Mark V steel action, this firearm features a fluted two-toned Cerakoted barrel. Equipped with Peak 44's Bastion stock, among the lightest production vertical grip carbon fiber stocks on the market, it features a comfortable ambidextrous palm swell and a substantial thumb groove to promote proper form while shooting. The forend includes dual sling studs, providing multiple options for accessories, making it versatile for both range shooting and harsh field conditions.

The second-generation 3DHex recoil pad, the first production 3D printed pad in the firearms world, is a standout feature. Hidden inside the pad is a series of interlocking voids that progressively collapse during recoil, expanding the time component of the recoil impulse and deadening the sharp kick of magnum chamberings. This results in less felt recoil and better accuracy downrange. The bolt body’s pronounced spiral fluting not only trims weight but also reduces the bearing surface within the action, resulting in smoother bolt function.

Fitted with Weatherby's highly-effective Accubrake ST, this brake is blended to match the profile of the muzzle. With 30 symmetrically-spaced ports that help harness the recoil, it tames even magnum chamberings. The Mark V Apex in 257 Wthby Mag caliber, with a 26" fluted barrel and a TriggerTech Field trigger, offers exceptional performance. The overall length is 48", and it has a capacity of 3+1. The digital camouflage finish on the Peak 44 Bastion stock adds to its rugged appeal, making it a top choice for serious hunters and long-range shooters.
