Weatherby isn’t playing around. The renowned California-based gun manufacturer came to SHOT Show this year ready to show off its best of the best, and they definitely delivered. Case in point: the Mark V TacMark Elite.
Chambered in .30-378 Wby. Mag., .338 Lapua Mag., and .338-378 Wby. Mag., the Mark V TacMark Elite is the latest in the company’s Mark V series of rifles that made their debut in 1958. It features a 28-inch, No. 3-contour, Krieger Custom match-grade, fluted, free-floating, cut-rifled barrel.
