Pairing Roy Weatherby's personal favorite cartridge with the lightest Mark V configuration produces a mountain hunting rifle that many consider the ideal Weatherby. The .257 Wby Mag's 3,600+ fps velocity from a 5.75-pound platform is exceptional. The fluted 26-inch barrel keeps barrel whip manageable while maintaining velocity. Type: Rifle Action: Bolt-Action Caliber: .257 Wby Mag Capacity: 3 Year introduced: 2002, USA Weight: 5.75 oz Overall length: 45.5" Status: Active Intended use: Hunting, Backcountry Hunting
