I wake up every morning and say “Let’s go drive some tacks.” Because let’s face it, is there anything better than squeezing that trigger and watching your groups squeeze tighter and tighter with every round?
Description
If you’re anything like me, you can’t get enough of that awe-inspiring feeling of sending a hunk of lead across multiple football-field distances and having it smack exactly where you willed it. So let’s do that together, whether the target is attached to a metal stand or on four hairy legs. My 28” #3 contour barrel is hand-lapped, free-floated and cut-rifled to extract top velocities and energy from .30-378 Weatherby Magnum, .338 Lapua Magnum and .338-378 Weatherby Magnum chamberings. Now let’s go.

I purchased a Weatherby Mk V Tacmark in 338 Lapua last Fall, and have been working up loads at our range over the Winter. I am absolutely astounded, and 101% satisfied, with the quality of workmanship and performance of this rifle. It will consistently shoot 1/2-MOA out to 400 yds with factory (Lapua) ammo or my best handloads. The rifle is heavy enough, and with the brake, to make recoil… tolerable. The only, minor, complaint I might have is that the sling swivels provided are a bit weak for those of us who routinely use a shooting sling, and I could have lived with a slightly heavier barrel. As a side note, Weatherby Customer Service is also top notch. I sent in a couple minor questions, and had a complete, concise and friendly answer by the same afternoon. Bravo Weatherby! And, welcome to Wyoming!

Weatherby rifles have for my lifetime been the pennicale of high quality long-range magnum rifles that take targets out down range that others can only dream about. With superior material and design comes accuracy that is second to none. Simply put Weatherby rifles are the Best of the Best… PS: Expect a MOA of .3 @ 200 yds out of the box with premium ammunition.

Beautiful weapon and a large step up into the tactical field for Weather by! I own 5 other Mark V’s including a custom left handed .460 wm. This one in .338 brings the accuracy to the top levels and one hell of a lot of fun to shoot!
