Weatherby, Inc. has expanded its bolt-action lineup with the Mark V Hunter. Boasting a freshly designed polymer stock that echoes the lines of the Backcountry 2.0 family, the gun sports a flat bottomed fore-end, ambidextrous palm swells, and aluminum-pillar construction. Finish is Granite Speckle.

Threaded 1/2X28 TPI for use with a suppressor or brake, the Mark V Hunter’s barreled action is sealed from the elements beneath a shell of Cobalt Cerakote. 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.

Behind the Bullet: The .308 Norma Magnum

Norma’s ballistician Nils Kvale saw the wisdom of having the velocity and horsepower of the .300 H&H Magnum, but in a shorter, more affordable receiver, and used the H&H case to develop his .358 Norma Magnum in 1959 as well as the .308 Norma Magnum one year later. The .308 Norma Magnum closely resembles the wildcat .30-338 cartridge, though the shoulder of the former is located a bit more toward the base than that of the .308 Norma Magnum. Intrigued? Read on about this often unfairly overlooked hunting classic.
