The Mark V Deluxe in .243 Winchester is the entry-level Mark V in terms of recoil and cartridge cost, but the full nine-lug action and high-gloss Monte Carlo walnut treat the .243 to the same premium standard as any Weatherby proprietary caliber. A fine introductory bolt rifle for young hunters or those new to the platform.
