Shooting the Weatherby Mark V Accumark 6.5-300 Weatherby Magnum Bolt-Action Rifle - Gunblast.com

FOR MORE INFO: www.gunblast.co...
Jeff Quinn ( www.gunblast.com ) tests the Weatherby Mark V Accumark 6.5-300 Weatherby Magnum Bolt-Action Rifle.
Shooting the latest Mark V was a real pleasure. The rifle is loud, but no more so than many other cartridges. Recoil is soft. While the rifle does move when fired, it causes no pain at all. Many rifles will slap the shooter’s check, but the Weatherby stock design eliminates that problem, with the rifle recoiling away from the shooter’s face. Very nice.
The Weatherby Accumark chambered for the new 6.5-300 Weatherby Magnum is a superb rifle for long-range shooting, whether at game or inanimate targets. It shoots flat, hits hard, and is wonderfully accurate. The Mark V is built in Paso Robles, California, and is built right. You never regret buying the best.

My Weatherby Mark V Accumark in 338 Lapua is simply amazing. Once I decide on cartridge (308 winchester or 257 weatherby), I will be buying another Mark V. This is the sweetest rifle that I have ever shot, letalone owned.

[@RobotoGato1]

If you want a round that preforms .257...if you want a round you can buy anywhere .308

[@lurebenson7722]

I am sure the only reason you had to bring up the 338 Lapua is you are a teenager KZbin groupie Parrot moth talker, and every groupie Parrot mouth talker has to bring up the 338 Lapua or bring up 45-70 or lead bullet Buffalow bore or hunting Alaskan brown bears with Glock 10 mm home defense handguns is the most nonsense moron things seen brought up in comments. The Weatherby 338-378 magnum produce even more speed and power than the 338 Lapua because the 338-378 has more powder capacity.

[@hawkboy1792]

what a BEAUTIFUL rifle. I have a really nice remington 700 that shoots smooth and i love that thing but this is an entirely different level of rifle. Absolutely gorgeous. You can tell how smooth the action is just by watching this video

[@ChuckBeefOG]

Yeah i inherited a MKV and have bought a few Vanguards of my own. There is no comparison between the two actions imo.

[@lurebenson7722]

Smoothness means nothing for accuracy in a rifle it is just a common KZbin groupie Parrot talkers' nonsense. At 64 years old and guiding hunters since 1978 I've owned allot of rifles and built allot of rifles. The CZ 500 I own in 9.3x62 Mauer is so accurate I can call the shot on target and the modern Mauser 98 action isn't some glass smooth action but what CZ did was very precision work to get this rifle to shoot the way it does. I own a AR 10 I have done in 375-300 WSM so do AR 10s have smooth actions NO! but this AR 10 in 375 -300 WSM shoots near same bullet hole groups at 150 yards using 375 - 270 grain bullets with 68 grains of 4064 powder producing the same power as a 375 H&H magnum. I will take accuracy any day over some fad rifle that all it offers is polished up bolt and action + barrel.

[@artfranz2273]

I’ve got a 257 WBY MKV and, just like the rifle in this vid, it just leaps when you light up that can of powder. So what I did was put a pound of lead shot in the fore end and 1.5 lb at the top and in the rear of the buttstock. Almost eliminated the muzzle jump. Tamed it down really nicely. Obviously not an ultra lightweight anymore but I personally prefer the way it shoots now to before adding the weight. Makes it more accurate for me too. And still only puts it into the weight range that most non-lightweight hunting rifles are today.

[@craigleibbrand7761]

Poor Barrel life. Roy Weatherby did promote his monte carlo stock. In reality the stock accentuates the recoil. I have collected and hunted and shot Weatherby Mark 5's for 40 years. I have aftermarket stocks that are straight combed. The Recoil comes straight back. The Mark 5 stock pummel's my cheekbone. 2 stocks: The old Roberts high comb rollover with Palm swell and Rem Sendero stock handle recoil the best.

[@Gunblastdotcom]

The Monte Carlo stock works for some shooters, but not all. As for barrel life - yes, when compared to a 223 Remington or such, but for practical purposes this is not a high-volume rifle. Barrel life should not be a problem, especially if you do not allow the barrel to get too hot.

[@craigleibbrand7761]

@@Gunblastdotcom You can expect 800 to 1000 rounds with the 6.5-300 Weatherby. It shoots a 130 grain bullet 3475 feet per second with a 26-inch Barrel. My 270 Weatherby shot a 130 grain bullet at 3400 feet per second chronograph. With a 24-inch Barrel. I put two thousand rounds through it and it still had first-class accuracy. 6.5-300 WAY over bore. Huge amount of powder 98 gr. of H2O for little or no gain. The game animal would not know it was hit by the 6.5-300 or the 270 Weatherby. This one-upmanship in velocity is to sell rifles to the younger generation. They have to keep coming up with something new.

[@highway.357tejas6]

Another fine review. 300 weatherby is a great round for sure.

[@amazingbeaver3929]

even a .308 is fine for a plain long range shooting fun where the distances are known and you have all the helpful tools and you know the ballistics of your bullet. Flat shooting cartridge as this has its use for hunting situations where distances are unknown, but your MPBR is say 250-300 yards on medium game, you don't really need to carry a laser rangefinder or have turrets in your scope for zeroing in.

[@LS-oh8kv]

No, but this rifle setup appears to be made for long range. 308 doesn’t have enough oomph to drop game much past 450-500 yards. That’s where the magnum comes in, not as much for flatter shooting as much as hitting the same as a 308 does at 100 yards, at 500 yards. Flat shooting also means for target shooting at 1000+ you have enough adjustment on the scope to make the shot without ridiculous holdover. It also keeps the bullet supersonic longer, meaning the bullet doesn’t destabilize allowing you to stay accurate for further ranges. And also allows you to shoot the heaviest, highest BC bullets at a high velocity. Sure it doesn’t have 5000 or even 2000 round barrel life, but that’s the cost of performance. Check out the Long Range Hunting forums where most of the guys shoot game from regular distances (say 50 yards) all the way out to 1000 yards on game, and up to 2 miles on steel/paper. I don’t shoot at game past 800 because that’s the longest I can hit every shot (I practice a lot) but there’s a lot of cool info on that site. 250-300 is pretty much point blank for most modern rifle calibers

[@StPaul76]

That's a beautiful piece of long range hunting rifle.. I can only imagine how good that would be say, on a South African weld taking down impalas and such at ridiculous distances.. And for us Europeans, that msrp is a bargain for a piece of kit like that.. About the same as a standard grade Sako 85 .308win..

[@dougrogillio2223]

Weatherby MK V in 7 Weatherby Magnum is my #1 cartridge/rifle since 1978 & it will never be replaced in my arsenal. The gun weighs 8 lbs ready to hunt with its composite stock. It will push 120's to 3650, 140's to 3400, 150's to 3250 & 160's to 3200...all @ 1/2 MOA. The gun performs like a reliable old 22. No need for anything else.

[@craigleibbrand7761]

It's an excellent cartridge. I carry a 300 Weatherby more than anything but the 7mm weatherby is one of the Worlds greatest long range cartridge. Built-in an ultra lightweight rifle you could hunt the world and have enough energy and bullet weight for most of the game animals of the world.

I was shooting a 6.5 x 300 Weatherby in a custome chambered Rifle about 30 years ago. Took it antelope hunting in Wyoming and, man, was it accurate. But the smokin' barrel at 3500 fps didn't last very long. If you get about 1600 rounds out of it, you will be lucky, as the same as the 264 Winchester Mag. That is why the 264 never was that popular. Just my opinion!

I was trying t order a Weatherby here in Canada, but the dealer had no stock,..and had to wait way too long, so I settled for a Savage rifle instead. I love the looks of the barrel.

[@tompelley949]

Hey Reg, what model and caliber Savage did you get, and how do you like it? Good shooter?

[@regsparkes6507]

Tom, I opted for the model 25 Walking Varminter in .223, and synthetic stock. I had a Nikon Prostaff 3-9 x 40 BDC scope mounted and sighted by my Gunsmith / Dealer. What little shooting I have done so far has given me groups of around 1.5" down to 1" at 100 metres on average and bench rested. ( that's approx. 109 yards and I'm not that good a shot, free standing ) The rifle I have has the heavier bull type barrel, and as such makes it a tad heavier that perhaps I would like, if on an all day hunt , but it is a good shooter. I am very pleased with this one.

[@tompelley949]

10-4. Lots of folks love their Savages. Thanks!!

[@rramz7017]

Have any idea how many times I have heard the term "barrel burner" when referring to my 264 win mag? I have 9 Coues Whitetail that qualify for B&C but don't want to pay the money. All killed with that ole barrel burner. Take your old lob rifle to the range and shoot it while it's hot and watch the barrel fade. Heat, heat heat. I shoot a few rounds a year out of my 264 at the range mostly testing a new powder or bullet I hear/read about. Then one round for deer season 😁. I have a sling that holds 4 rounds and 3 in the mag. That's what I take.

[@Parents_of_Twins]

What's a Coues Whitetail? Sorry if that's a dumb question just never heard of it. How much does it cost to get a rack scored? I grew up hunting muzzleloader so never understood those guys you here out there on opening day firing strings of 4-7 bullets. If I don't kill it on the first shot I'm upset with myself.

[@rramz7017]

@@Parents_of_Twins Twins? Sounds busy to me. Coues deer (pronounced Cowes) are in Arizona, New Mexico and Northern Mexico. They are a small cousin to the Whitetail Deer that populates most of the US. Coues are known to live in rocky, rough, steep canyons of the Sonoran Desert. I only know of less than a handful taken with a muzzleloader (but what I know isn't much) Long range, over 300 yard shots are the norm. Flat shooting calibers using high BC bullets are the norm here. Me stalking close enough to take a large mature Coues buck doesn't seem likely. It's hard to stalk quietly out here and anywhere for me really. Really good binoculars and a flat shooting rifle with enough energy left at 600-700 yards to drop a 125 lb deer dead in it's tracks is what almost everyone shoots. The Weatherby 6.5x300 has become very popular with the Coues hunters.

[@Parents_of_Twins]

@@rramz7017 It is pretty busy. First six months was pretty tough after that just noisy. Been a lot of fun. I did all my hunting in Northern Wisconsin where a 200 yard shot is pretty long. I've shot the muzzle loader out to 400 yards and it still carries enough power to punch through a steel target. My Dad killed a coyote way back at that distance without issues but he's a better shot than I am.

[@rramz7017]

@@Parents_of_Twins My hat is off to you. I have never hunted with a muzzleloader. Several Border Patrol guys here hunt Elk in the northern part of the state. I shot one of theirs at the range at 50 yards. It was sighted for a hundred. It almost kicked me off the bench. When the smoke cleared there was a huge hole about 3" high and pretty much centered on the bullseye and that was it, enough for me. No way I could kill anything at 200 yards. I have a couple of mules. I have never had one kick me but I'm thinking it would be about the same as shooting that gun.

[@markloomis1415]

By the way, I own several weatherbys with the great 7mm weatherby mag being my favorite! The 7mm weatherby mag is perhaps the most efficient 7mag on the market and mine at least shoots smoa out to 500yds. This October 2019 I shot a nice buck pronghorn in Wyoming at a lasered 640yds with my 7mm weatherby mag!

[@truthseeker5890]

For that distance, that is an excellent rifle; 7mm Wby Mag at that distance, on pronghorn, is near perfection. And, as you likely know, for a pronghorn shot, that gun is capable of much longer distances. It's just flat out good. I'm starting to research the feasibility of a 7mm cased in .378 now (7mm-.378 / .284-.378). That's going to be a 1500 yard gun. I'm trying to scratch out upper 3,000s at the muzzle and perhaps break 4,000 at the muzzle. I haven't started building yet; still going over the numbers. But, it'll be a Weatherby. Thanks for the post. It's good to see somebody utilizing the range that that caliber is capable of. One last note - the Weatherby 7mm is actually a 7.2 mm which makes it even better. Win and Rem might be 7.2 mm also but not with the .378 Weatherby case.

[@claw1952]

Don't buy a lot of the 130 grain till u try them. My gun would not group them closer than 2 inches at 100 yards where the 127 Barnes would do 1/2" or less at 100 yards. If I can do my job it will do one hole 3 shot groups on a cold barrel.

[@anthonyridge2323]

That's a damn good looking rifle, I wish it didn't cost more than my truck did. :( LOL. I LOVE the newer super high velocity calibers they're coming out with like this particular 6.5-300Wby Mag and the 26,28 and 30 Nosler rounds as well. Just wish they would make these calibers available in their more budget and economical models like the Vanguard. Seems like you need to spend close to $2K to get into these new screamer, laser like rounds.

[@jasonsimone8891]

Cool cartridge, but I think I'll keep my F.N Supreme in 264 WIN MAG not far enough behind to justify that much recoil and muzzle blast.

[@njgrplr2007]

If you're going to shoot long range (500+ yards), you obviously need to understand the ballistics of the round you're using and how much it drops at each range you shoot. You also need to use a scope with ballistic turrets to adjust for the bullet drop. So, who cares if the round is faster and drops slightly less? I can dial 12 MOA of adjustment just as easily as I can dial 6. To me, it's far more important to choose a bullet with a high ballistic coefficient than a gun shooting 3,400 fps. As you said, Weatherby is all about selling people on their high velocity offerings.

[@rramz7017]

I get such a kick out of the read a little, then know it all. The BC of the 6.5 grain to grain is better than any other. If you can push a 130 gr Swift Scharraco II with a BC of .571 faster and just as accurate as any other rifle, nothing but an advantage.

Kevin Robbin god bless after what you said.. talk about being hypocritical... you ask a question and had got an answer and your the one wanting to be disrespectful.... act like an adult not a kid... oh yea, god bless...

My friend that cheek well does you no good shooting left handed. I have had that problem all my life.

[@DocLaw172]

Hey, you're shooting that gun from the wrong side, almost like a leftie!

[@tylermettler3906]

Hello sir i need your advice I found a weatherby mark v in 300 weatherby left headed with a wood stock used at cabelas. should I jump on it and buy it? Tyler

[@Gunblastdotcom]

It depends upon the price. If it is used, you should save quite a bit of money, compared to a new one. jeff

[@tylermettler3906]

Thanks Jeff they're asking about 1300 for it. going to see if I can't talk them down a little bit

[@shitsngiggles8371]

Only if you're left handed

[@bojan7179]

👍👍👍

[@Oculus729]

Five years later I'm watching this. I suggest you treat yourself to a lefty rifle.

[@frednorton1704]

I want, but it's going to have to be correct handed, and have a stock made from a tree.

[@saltysteel3996]

That barrel won't last much longer than about 500-1000 rounds. Even standard 300WM doesn't last much longer than 500 rounds. Those magnum rounds and necked down rounds are over bored and over pressured. Eats the throat and the rifling right out of the barrel. I prefer traditional rounds such as 308 or 30-06. Cheap, accurate, low recoil, long range, hard hitting, ammo is easy to find, and the barrel will last upwards of 10,000 rounds.

[@interman7715]

Salty Steel Couldn't agree more ,270win ,280 rem, 7mm08, 30-06 Springfield ,all great cartridges, good barrel life accurate and good case life . These overbored weatherbies are really for the alpha males at the local range .

[@bonnivilleblackcherry9745]

mines 15 years old with about 1000 rounds through it a year with exception of the past 3 years where i just put about 4 boxes a yr through it and its and still perfectly fine. 340wm

[@jakemossop4637]

Kinda feel like 6.5swe, creedmoor, or even Lapua would deliver the same results without costing so much on wear-and-tear/barrel life. Shit seems over the top.

[@EnkeiTenjin]

Hahaha, 300wm lasts only 500 rounds does it? What a stupid statement. Plus if you use this rifle for its intended purpose, and you're not a shit shot, 500 rounds is pretty much 400-450 taken deer. Through years of hunting seasons.

[@seabass22]

Jake Mossop weatherby has always been over the top. I feel like this round was made just so they could say they have the most powerful 6.5.

[@Cliff_Dixon_42]

Oooooooo . . . me want!!

[@702havingfun]

barnes pencils throught game at long rang ,no expansion

[@jamesjahoda1613]

Hasn't happend to me. My only deer bullet for years. Perfect so far.

[@702havingfun]

Try it at 400 yards,how far was the shot on your deer

[@jamesjahoda1613]

Thank you. Somewhat less. Didn't check. Shoots flat. I will keep your experience in mind.

[@702havingfun]

I still use it because its so accurate,maybe i have to hit em in the shoulder at longer distances, This was out of a 300 weatherby reload at 3100 ft ps,150 gr tsx Got 20 inches of penetration just didnt expand ,had to track the elk For almost a mile

[@jamesjahoda1613]

I feel for you. I hate tracking. Hope you weren't alone.

I want a 6.5 wsm for fucks sake !!!!!!!!!

[@timstime1970]

Quite the varmit rifle

[@markloomis1415]

I hate to see lefties shootin a righthanded rifle, especially a stock with a cheek piece. If more of you lefties would buy left handed rifles, the manufacturers would build more! Nice review though.

[@chocolateface8664]

That's a fake mustache

[@Gunblastdotcom]

No, it is not. Boge

[@PARR53]

Gunblastdotcom LMAO

[@shitsngiggles8371]

Why would you buy a right handed rifle when your left handed. There's no way you could give me a left handed rifle

[@Gunblastdotcom]

Jeff actually prefers a right-handed rifle. Partly because he has been shooting them for 50 years, partly because he never has to move his trigger hand, and partly because he can see the action in case of malfunction. Boge
