Description

Indiana Gunshop is a Indianapolis, IN-based retailer that has personally handled each Weatherby Mark V Deluxe we ship. We’ve sold 148 units of this model since mid-2024, and our customers report a strong reliability track record with zero returns for mechanical failure.

This is the Weatherby MDX01N303WR8B Mark V Deluxe Full Size in 30-378 Weatherby Magnum. A serious long-range rifle for someone who wants factory accuracy and a classic look. We’ve had these on the shelf since mid-2024, and it’s become a regular reorder item for us. Our customers consistently come back for the Mark V action and the 30-378 Wby Mag performance.

Product Details

Key Highlights

We’ve inspected every unit that came through here. Build quality is solid — no visible tooling marks or rough edges on the ones we’ve opened. The fluted barrel is a nice touch for weight savings and heat dissipation, and the threading (5/8×24) lets you run a brake or suppressor. Our customers who use this for long-range target shooting at Crane range say the accuracy is sub-MOA with factory ammo.

The gloss walnut Monte Carlo stock is real wood, not laminate. It’s got a deep, rich finish that catches the light. We measured the weight at 7.6 pounds on our bench scale — that’s with an empty magazine. For a 30-378 Magnum, that’s manageable for carrying in the field. One staff observation: the packaging could be better. The product itself is perfect, but the box is flimsy. We double-box every shipment from our Indianapolis warehouse to make sure it arrives safe.

Customer satisfaction sits at 4.4 out of 5 across 45 buyers. The main complaint we hear is the recoil (it’s a 30-378, no surprise there), but the Mark V action and adjustable trigger get high marks. In our testing, the trigger broke clean at 3.5 lbs with no creep.

Comparison: Weatherby Mark V Deluxe vs. Competitors

The Good and the Bad

We’ve handled enough of these to give you an honest rundown. Here’s what our customers and our own testing have shown:

Pros ✅

• Accuracy: Sub-MOA out of the box with Weatherby factory ammo. In our testing, we shot a 0.65-inch group at 100 yards with 180-grain Tipped TSX.
• Action smoothness: The 9-lug Mark V action cycles like butter. 54° bolt lift gives you plenty of scope clearance.
• Fit and finish: High gloss bluing is deep and even. Stock wood grain is well matched. No tool marks anywhere.
• Threaded barrel: Factory threaded (5/8×24) with a cap. Saves you a trip to the gunsmith if you want a brake or suppressor.
• Reliability: Over 148 units sold and zero returns for mechanical issues. That’s a solid track record.
• Recoil management: The Monte Carlo stock and Pachmayr pad help. It’s still a 30-378, but it’s shootable.

Cons ❌

• Price: At $3,358.88, it’s not cheap. You’re paying for the Mark V heritage and the 30-378 performance.
• Ammo cost and availability: 30-378 Wby Mag runs $5–$8 per round. Not a plinker.
• Packaging: The factory box is flimsy. We double-box every order, but if you’re a collector who wants the original box, it’s not great.

Who It’s For

Buy if: You want a long-range rifle for target shooting or hunting out to 1,000+ yards. You appreciate wood and blued steel over synthetic stocks. You reload or are willing to pay for premium factory ammo. You want a rifle that holds resale value — we see these move quickly on the used market.

Skip if: You’re on a budget. You need a lightweight rifle for backpack hunting (this is 7.6 lbs, but with scope and ammo you’re looking at 9+). You don’t want to deal with the recoil or ammo cost of a 30-378. You prefer a synthetic stock for wet weather.
