The Weatherby Mark V Deluxe Varmint Master in .224 Weatherby Magnum (Weatherby part no. MDX01N224WR4T) revives Roy Weatherby’s original 1964 Varmintmaster concept on a modern 6-lug short action built for high-velocity precision. Its 24-inch barrel and 1:8-inch twist are matched to heavier-for-caliber .224 Weatherby Magnum bullets, giving varmint and predator hunters a flatter trajectory at extended range. A 5-round magazine keeps follow-up shots quick when working a prairie dog town or calling in coyotes. The high-gloss AA-grade Monte Carlo walnut stock carries fineline diamond-point checkering along with a rosewood forend and grip cap, finished off with maplewood spacers for a distinctly old-world look. Weatherby built this short action specifically around the demands of the .224 cartridge, and it still stands as one of the brand’s most storied rifles for shooters who want serious performance without giving up traditional style.
