Weatherby Mark V Accumark .338 Weatherby RPM 24″
About this product
The Weatherby Mark V Accumark .338 Weatherby RPM 24″ is a precision bolt-action rifle engineered for long-range shooting and heavy game hunting, featuring a 24-inch threaded barrel with Accubrake ST muzzle brake and TriggerTech trigger system. Built with Weatherby's signature Mark V action and a fiberglass Monte Carlo stock, it delivers exceptional accuracy and durability in demanding conditions. This rifle represents the intersection of traditional craftsmanship and modern ballistic performance.
What is the Weatherby Mark V Accumark .338 Weatherby RPM used for?
The Mark V Accumark is designed for long-range precision shooting and hunting large game at extended distances. With its .338 Weatherby RPM cartridge generating approximately 3,250 ft-lbs of energy at the muzzle, it's effective on elk, moose, and bear beyond 400 yards. The 24-inch barrel length optimizes velocity while maintaining maneuverability in field conditions.
How does the Weatherby Mark V Accumark compare to the Stevens 334 Rifle?
The Mark V Accumark outperforms the Stevens 334 in both accuracy and cartridge capability, though at nearly double the price point. Where the Stevens 334 in .308 Win delivers consistent 1.5-2 MOA groups, the Accumark consistently achieves sub-MOA accuracy with premium ammunition. The Weatherby's .338 RPM cartridge carries significantly more energy at distance—approximately 40% more retained energy at 500 yards compared to .308 Winchester.
What does it weigh and what are the dimensions?
The rifle weighs 7.2 pounds unloaded and measures 46.25 inches in overall length. The 24-inch barrel features a 1:10 twist rate optimized for heavy .338 caliber projectiles, while the Monte Carlo stock provides 13.5 inches of length of pull for most adult shooters. The threaded muzzle accepts standard 1/2x28 accessories including suppressors and muzzle brakes.
Who is this NOT for?
This rifle is not suitable for beginners or budget-conscious shooters due to its $1,999 price tag and substantial ammunition costs. The .338 Weatherby RPM cartridge averages $75-95 per box of 20 rounds, making practice sessions expensive compared to more common calibers like .308 Winchester. Recoil-sensitive shooters will find the muzzle energy challenging without proper training and recoil management equipment.
What's in the box?
The rifle ships with one 4-round detachable magazine, owner's manual, and factory test target showing sub-MOA performance. Unlike some competitors, it does not include scope mounting hardware or cleaning equipment—expect to invest another $150-300 in mounting solutions and maintenance tools. The Cerakote finish requires specific cleaning solvents to maintain its corrosion resistance.
Is the Weatherby Mark V Accumark worth it at $1999?
At $1,999, the Accumark justifies its price for serious hunters and long-range competitors who need extreme accuracy and stopping power. The investment includes Weatherby's legendary Mark V action, known for its 54-degree bolt lift and six locking lugs that provide smoother operation than most competing actions. For shooters who prioritize budget over performance, the Stevens 334 in .308 Win delivers adequate performance at less than half the cost.

Frequently asked questions
- Is the barrel threaded for suppressors?
- Yes, the 24-inch barrel features 1/2x28 threads compatible with most standard muzzle devices and suppressors. The threads are cut to SAE specifications and protected by a included thread protector. Always verify suppressor compatibility with your local NFA regulations before purchase.
- What scope base does it use?
- The receiver is drilled and tapped for standard Weatherby Mark V scope bases with 6-48 screws. We recommend using Weatherby-brand bases or quality aftermarket options from Warne or Leupold. The mounting system supports most long-range optics up to 30mm tube diameter without modification.
- How many rounds does the magazine hold?
- The detachable box magazine holds 4 rounds with an additional round capable of being chambered for 4+1 capacity. Magazine availability is limited compared to more common calibers—expect to pay $75-95 per additional magazine from Weatherby or authorized dealers.
- Is the Cerakote finish durable?
- The Graphite Black Cerakote finish provides excellent corrosion resistance and hardness rating of 9H on the pencil scale. It withstands temperature fluctuations from -40°F to 500°F without degradation. Proper maintenance requires specific solvents—avoid ammonia-based cleaners that can damage the finish over time.
