Key Features
- Mark V Action: Nine locking lugs on a three-bolt head provide a 54-degree bolt lift, giving you faster follow-ups and smoother cycling. Why it matters: Quick bolt throw means less time out of the gun and more time on target—critical when hunting pressured game.
- 25 Creedmoor Chamber: This cartridge pushes a 131-grain bullet at 2700 fps with a G1 BC of 0.550, offering wind-bucking performance that rivals 6.5 Creedmoor but with less recoil. Why it matters: You get long-range precision in a lightweight package that won’t beat you up during a day of hiking.
- Cold Hammer-Forged Barrel: Weatherby uses a 24-inch, #2 contour barrel with a 1:8 twist, cold hammer-forged for consistent bore dimensions. Why it matters: Cold hammer-forging creates a harder, more uniform bore that holds accuracy longer—expect sub-MOA groups with quality factory ammo.
- Camilla Deluxe Stock: Designed specifically for smaller shooters, this stock has a shorter length of pull (13.25 inches) and a raised comb for better cheek weld. Why it matters: Proper fit means consistent eye alignment and less fatigue during long sits in the blind.
- Adjustable Trigger: The Mark V trigger is factory set at 3.5 pounds but can be adjusted down to 2.5 pounds without a gunsmith. Why it matters: A crisp, light trigger lets you break shots cleanly without disturbing your sight picture—a must for precision shots.
Who It’s For
This rifle is for the hunter who values accuracy and ergonomics over flash. If you’re a smaller-framed shooter—or anyone who wants a lightweight, accurate rifle for mountain hunting or long-range varminting—the Camilla Deluxe is purpose-built for you. It’s also ideal for women and youth shooters stepping into precision hunting, thanks to the stock geometry that promotes proper form.
