The Mark V 338 Lapua Accumark is a hand laminated, raised comb, Monte Carlo composite stock with matte gel coat finish and spiderweb accents. The barrel is button-rifled, #3 contour (.705 muzzle diameter) free-floated stainless steel fluted barrel with target crown with Accubrake. It also features factory tuned, fuly adjustable trigger, CNC-machined 6061 T-6 alluminum bedding plate, Pachmayr Decelerator pad and 28" overall barrel length. All Weatherby rifles are available with the special Accubrake option (standard on .30-378, .338-378, .378, .416 and .460 models). By adding an Accubrake to your rifle you can significantly reduce felt recoil...up to 53 percent. That's nearly 10 percent more effective than their nearest competitor. Available for four different barrel diameters, with checkered thread protector, for a near perfect brake-to-barrel contour match. Because the crown is located at the end of the barrel, not the brake, the lands are protected, preserving accuracy. As the bullet exits the barrel it passes through the brake without contact. The brake in no way adversely affects velocity or accuracy, only felt recoil and muzzle jump. Constructed of stress-proof steel alloy or 420 Series stainless steel and are available in high polish or matte blue finish or matte stainless steel.

The 338 Lapua Magnum was developed in the 1980s in the United States with Finland's Lapua the initial manufacturer. It is based on the big, unbelted 416 Rigby case necked down to 338 with a case length of 2.724 inches. The intent was a long-range sniping cartridge that would fill the range gap between the 308 Winchester, then the standard, and the 50 BMG. Accurate and fast, with a 250-grain bullet at 3000 feet per second or a heavier, more aerodynamice 300-grain bullet at 2750 fps, it has been used successfully by numerous militaries in the Southwest Asia conflicts for long-range sniping, from 1500 yards to well beyond 2500 yards. As a hunting cartridge it is the most powerful of the 33-caliber cartridges, finding favor with today's increasing number of long-range specialists. Its only drawbacks are gun weight and recoil. — Craig Boddington
