Weatherby's Best Rifle?! - The Mark V Carbonmark - Review &Test

[@Blondejam]

Nice video. I as a younger person in my early teens was very good shot. I shot in the cadets for a while and would happily hit five or so spot bulls out of ten 2" targets at 25 metres with a .22 rimfire. As I got older I was in the forces and loved the opportunity to shoot with larger calibres. My best shot was 750mts with a 7.62. I loved this vid as it took me back to my personal training of breathing, holding, waiting and just touching the trigger for the shot and keeping the same position until the recoil ended to know that I had shot where I wanted the shot to go. I somehow should have kept up competition shooting but never had the resources and wish that I could now have a go at rifle shooting again. I never used a scope and had to rely on iron sights. Nice vid and a trip down memory lane for myself. Cheers JC!

Still a great pump gun even though it is mostly plastic, kzbin.infoUgkxh4su9YgU1tWmjikirWcKJbjsFLEU62Bc but with care it will last a long time. It would be neat if Crosman would make a commemorative version of this with real wood stock, but of course it would weigh more and cost more, but hey, it would be cool. The included scope is more of a toy, but it does work for backyard plinking. I prefer to use pellets for greater accuracy, but BBs are just as good for plinking. This is not a Red Ryder folks; fully pumped it is 3 times the power of a Red Ryder and can be dangerous if not handled properly. Be safe out there.

I’ve got the Carbonmark Pro in 6.5 Weatherby RPM and it’s worth ever penny. It’s a great shooting rifle that’s very accurate when the user does their job. Factory ammo is great but handloading takes it to the next level. Glad you got to try one out. They are not appreciated like they should be.

[@ronboff3461]

ive been shooting Weatherby's since 1957, a 300,that my uncle passed on to me..good job young man!

[@jerrydembrosky5429]

I own two Weatherby models myself, carbon mark and carbon mark pro. Both are in 6.5 creedmoor as I've had both shoulders operated on. I absolutely love these rifles

[@MrPutman]

loved this. So relaxing watching you work.

[@redduc9523]

I hate to say this, but once you mentioned how the bipod mount was going in the stock I thought to myself “self I wonder if the metal reinforcing bar runs the length of the stock” 🫣 Great video as always and love that you actually fessed up to the 🤬🤬

Man who never made a mistake, Bacar made anything right?

[@hammyh1165]

I've an old Mark V Varmintmaster in .224 Weatherby it's a lovely rifle to use . Luckily I have enough brass for a couple of years as it's not the easiest to get.

[@craigroche9509]

I think a company called harris make a bipod that fits on sling stud mounts. just putting it out there. cant knock you for your bravery though i would not have had the nerves required to pick up that cordless drill .

[@woodsmansfinest3814]

They look so darn good

[@nebraskaman8247]

I’ve invested 2 grand in a steel action lol. There’s a lot of custom action makers that refuse to even offer titanium, as they say there are some inherent issues. Now we are seeing steel/aluminum that’s about at the titanium weight without the flaws of titanium.

[@davejones67]

Looks like the scope power ring is hitting your Talley mounts. I have same problem with my Vortex scopes. Had to Dremel some of the mounts off and touch it up with Alumiblack.

[@funkla65]

Well, I guess a hand drill is usually a step up from a brace and bit, but they're really good at jumping around or twisting like a struck gyroscope when they find a surprise. Maybe a good Taiwanese vertical mill will follow you home some day. ;-)

[@tgsoutdoors]

Interestingly and obviously I used my rather luxurious drill press to do everything but this pilot hole

Weatherby is probably the most prestigious rifle in the USA. Kinda like our blaser.

[@tgsoutdoors]

Definitely deserve a place up there with the great rifle makers

[@ULFISHGETTER]

@@tgsoutdoors ofc you have cooper, Dakota, and a few other brands, but the weatherby mark v is the rifle most guys dream of. At 3,900 usd for their top model, it definitely isn’t for the average person. Also the weatherbys cartridges are quite expensive. 5-10 dollars a shot can be hard on the pocket book.

[@nathancorlett9895]

Hi I’m in my 50’s now and allways loved to shoot on my mates farm as kids with air riffles,I’m thinking of getting my firearms license in the uk is there a place where I can look into it thanks love your content

3.5k and they dont even make the effort to give you a nice storage box?! Wow

[@jbloun911]

Put it in a safe

[@funkla65]

It's a rifle. Hard for Weatherby to predict how it will be accessorized with various scopes, bipod, etc., so a prefitted case would likely end up wasted $.

[@tgsoutdoors]

Beat me too it Larry

[@georgegeorgiev2610]

@@funkla65 I am sure the engineers at Weatherby can figure out a nice functional box, you know nicely packaging a product, especially an expensive one, is not a bad idea, anything but a plain cardboard!

[@tgsoutdoors]

It’s a tough one, and one I have complained at manufacturers for before however the same feedback comes from them all: 1 - 97% of people throw the packaging away 2 - posh cardboard is less environmentally friendly and not recyclable 3 - wouldn’t you rather we spent that money on the product. I would love to see this rifle delivered in a fit all flight case, but would be apprehensive of paying £250 extra for the privilege

[@braccobaby]

recoil management on a 6.5 with a break..?

[@Basti0017]

hey community, l'm on the way to buying a 308 or 300 rifle and would like to get a second opinion. browning x bolt speed, weatherby mark v hunter, model 307 meateater, bergara b-14. I like to shoot at long range, hunting, of course the weapon has to shoot well (precisely) and it should be long-lasting and not get hot too quickly

[@omw8888]

What recoil pad do you use? I feel the stock on my Mark V is a little short.

[@tikkathreebarrels]

Shouldn't any new rifle shoot 1 moa?

You would hope so

Hi there.... Need your help. I have Wembley and Scott 12g game under over. Started some clays but mostly game. Id love to replace this shotgun cos she's very barrel heavy. I ballance it putting around 120grams in stock and she's very heavy now. Looking for some second hand or new shotgun in value arround 1000 - 1500 euro. Any recommendations?

[@ulyssesbullock7261]

What caliber is this?

[@smu1129]

The only downside to this 3.5k rifle: a spring plate? Really? Would've thought there's a box magazine or two coming with it for such a price tag.

[@JHruby]

And if they had a detachable mag, somebody would comment that nobody wants a mountain rifle with a magazine that could fall out and be lost. You can't please everyone. Plenty of options out there to convert it.

Back in World War I most US soldiers regardless of strength or size used Springfield rifles in 30-06. Today we regard that as a heavy recoiling round too powerful for most shooters.

you dont need a mag on a hunting rifle. All it does is add complexity and noise to the operation. If you need that many extra bullets you need to put the rifle down.
