#Weatherby mark v ultra lightweight reviews series
Like the Vanguard Series 2, all Accumark RC (Range Certified) rifles are guaranteed to shoot a three-shot group of. It was like old home week for me, seeing as how I grew up hunting these elusive bucks on public land up and down the California coast. So I was truly excited when Weatherby’s marketing director, Mike Schweibert, invited me to come back to central California in August to visit the factory and spend some time hunting California mule deer and wild hogs with him and marketing specialist Brad Dykhouse while taking one of Weatherby’s Mark V Accumark RC rifles for a test drive. 257 Weatherby Magnum, which consistently places three of my own handloads using either the 100-grain AccuBond or 115-grain Nosler Ballistic Tip bullet well inside an inch at 100 yards, continues to be one of my favorite deer-hunting rifles.
When the Vanguard Series 2, which guaranteed sub-MOA accuracy, was introduced, sales grew even more. The Vanguard rifle series has proven to be extremely successful for Weatherby, offering shooters and hunters a high-quality and extremely accurate rifle at moderate cost. A few years later the company headquarters moved to nearby Paso Robles, and all rifle production - which for decades had been outsourced to factories in West Germany Japan Saco, Maine and then Brainerd, Minnesota - was moved to the Paso Robles facility in 2011. It was quite an education for an up-and-coming hunting and shooting writer, to be sure! Roy’s son, Ed, took the reins of the company in 1983, and in 2005, following yet another round of civil unrest in Los Angeles and after 50 years in the same location, the company moved to Atascadero, on the central California coast. There I had the chance to speak with Roy and his team about rifles, cartridges, ballistics and shooting. In the early days Weatherby was located in South Gate, California, a not-so-nice neighborhood near Los Angeles and a place I visited many times when I was working for a publishing company headquartered in West Hollywood. Then, in 1970, Weatherby introduced its innovative Vanguard line of bolt-action rifles that featured just two locking lugs, as opposed to the nine found in the Mark V.
At that time Roy used French Brevex Magnum Mauser and FNB Mauser actions, but soon opened the eyes of the firearms world with the introduction of his own proprietary action, known today as the Mark V, in 1957.
At the same time, he was also rechambering and producing rifles that would accommodate his new line of Weatherby Magnum cartridges. SUB-MOA accuracy guarantee (.Back in the 1940s, a young cartridge wildcatter named Roy Weatherby challenged the conventional wisdom of the day by bringing to market a line of super-fast cartridges shooting light-for-caliber bullets, believing that this, and not a heavier bullet traveling at moderate velocity, was the best way to achieve a clean, one-shot kill on deer and other big-game animals. This is the perfect rifle for the most avid and dedicated hunter who doesn't want to sacrifice performance for weight. We designed the New Mark V® Ultra Lightweight to balance well in the hand, be very lightweight, and still be guaranteed to shoot SUB-MOA. Multiply that over days or weeks and having a light and easy to carry rifle isn't just important, it's a necessity. When you are miles from any sort of transportation, ounces quickly become pounds.
