Weatherby Introduces New Mark V Hunter Bolt Action

Sheridan, WY – Weatherby, Inc.® introduces the new Mark V® Hunter to its premium bolt-action line. Bringing a wealth of chamberings to the legendary Weatherby Mark V platform, the Hunter is fitted with a freshly-designed stock that echoes the shape and ergonomics of the Mark V Backcountry 2.0 family of rifles that debuted earlier in 2021. The Hunter’s polymer stock features the same trim, flat-bottomed forend, ambidextrous palm swells and aluminum pillar construction and is finished in a Granite Speckle.

Threaded 1/2×28 for use with a suppressor or brake, the Mark V Hunter’s barreled action is sealed under a shell of Cobalt Cerakote, shielding it from the elements. A deep-fluted bolt with removable knob not only trims a little weight and helps clear dust and debris, it also reduces the bearing surface within the action resulting in smoother operation.

The Mark V Hunter is available in a wide range of cartridges, both Weatherby Magnum chamberings as well as American classics: Read more

Hunting Waterfowl in Saskatchewan

By Jay Pinsky – Editor, The Hunting Wire

The Weatherby Element and Boss ammunition combo was a superb tool on the Saskatchewan prairies for waterfowl.

Waterfowl hunting isn’t for the faint of heart. Bitterly cold temperatures, low, gray skies, and strong winds which ruin most hunts put smiles on most waterfowlers faces, who know success often comes long after most fair-weather hunters call it quits. As such, waterfowl hunters, at least the ones who do it a second time, pride themselves on being a hearty lot. They demand a lot of themselves, their hunting dogs, and their equipment not just for a single experience, but as a lifetime.

That said, waterfowlers need guns which don’t just look tough, but genuinely are tough. Not just for one day, or for one shot-of-a-lifetime moment. No, waterfowl hunting guns must work every day, in the worst weather, frozen, with gloves on, in the dark of blinds, by feel, with heavy loads and under all kinds of shooting situations. After all, there’s not a lot of waterfowl hunting at a sporting clay course these days. Waterfowl guns must work while muddy, often filthy on the inside, and if you’re lucky, reeking of wet dog, Canada goose guts, and of course shotgun shell powder. Waterfowl shotguns aren’t expected to be runway models. Nope, they’re as blue-collar as a gun can be which is why the best ones demand white-collar dollars.
