The Weatherby Mark V Hunter 6.5 Creedmoor rifle is the polymer-stocked Mark V Hunter, chambered in 6.5 Creedmoor and finished in Cobalt Cerakote (brand part no. MHU01N65CMR2T). Its barrel is threaded 1/2×28 for a suppressor or brake, and an adjustable TriggerTech trigger sits in the action. The Urban and Black Speckle polymer stock has the same trim, flat-bottomed forend as the Backcountry 2.0 family, with ambidextrous palm swells and aluminum pillar construction. It is a straightforward Mark V for big-game hunting, with a 54-degree bolt lift that keeps follow-up shots fast.
