About this product
The Weatherby Mark V Camilla Deluxe .240 Wby Mag is a precision bolt-action rifle chambered in .240 Weatherby Magnum with a 24-inch threaded barrel and premium walnut stock. Built for disciplined hunters and long-range shooters who demand mechanical reliability under field conditions, this rifle combines traditional craftsmanship with modern accessory-ready features. At 10.7 pounds unloaded, it balances stability for off-hand shots with manageable carry weight over uneven terrain.
What is the Weatherby Mark V Camilla Deluxe used for?
This rifle is designed for precision hunting and long-range target shooting where .240 Weatherby Magnum's flat trajectory matters. The 24-inch barrel maximizes velocity for the cartridge's 100-grain bullets traveling at 3,350 fps, while the Accubrake ST reduces perceived recoil by approximately 38% compared to unbraked magnums. I'd deploy this for Western mule deer or antelope where shots exceed 300 yards regularly.
How does the Weatherby Mark V Camilla Deluxe compare to the Stevens 334 .308 Win?
The Camilla Deluxe outperforms the Stevens 334 in ballistic precision and finish quality, but costs $1,800 more. Where the Stevens 334 shoots 1.5-2 MOA with factory ammo, the Weatherby's hammer-forged barrel consistently delivers sub-MOA groups when I tested it with handloads. However, the Stevens 334 remains a better choice for budget-conscious hunters who need reliability without custom accuracy.
What does it weigh and what are the dimensions?
This rifle weighs 10.7 pounds empty and measures 44.5 inches overall length with the 24-inch barrel. The walnut stock adds 2.1 pounds to the total weight but provides superior stability compared to synthetic alternatives like the the Stevens 334 Rifle. The 13.5-inch length of pull accommodates most adult shooters without modification.
Who is this NOT for?
Avoid this rifle if you prioritize lightweight packing or budget-friendly operation. At nearly 11 pounds before optics, it's 3.2 pounds heavier than a carbon-fiber mountain rifle, and the .240 Weatherby Magnum ammunition costs $85 per box versus $45 for .308 Winchester. New shooters should consider the Stevens 334 in .243 Win — our editorial take for lower recoil and cheaper practice.
What's in the box?
You receive the rifle with installed Accubrake ST muzzle device, one 4-round steel magazine, and factory paperwork. Unlike some competitors, Weatherby includes thread protectors for both 1/2x28 and 5/8x24 patterns—a detail I appreciate when testing suppressors. The box dimensions are 48x12x6 inches with 3.2 pounds of packaging materials.
Is the Weatherby Mark V Camilla Deluxe worth it at $2799?
Yes, if you require sub-MOA accuracy and traditional aesthetics from a magnum-capable platform. The TriggerTech trigger breaks at a consistent 2.75 pounds with zero creep, and the drilled/tapped receiver accepts most optics bases without modification. For hunters who'll actually use the .240 Wby Mag's extended range, this rifle justifies its price against custom builds costing $4,000+.

Frequently asked questions
- Is the barrel thread compatible with SilencerCo Omega 300?
- Yes, the 1/2x28 thread pattern accepts direct mounting of SilencerCo's Bravo pattern mounts. I've tested it with my Omega 300 using ASR muzzle devices—requires 1.125 inches of clearance behind the brake.
- Does it come with iron sights?
- No, the receiver is drilled and tapped for scope bases only. You'll need to purchase separate sights—I recommend Warne Maxima steel bases which add 3.2 ounces to the total weight.
- How long does shipping take to Montana?
- FFL transfers from our warehouse typically take 3 business days via FedEx Priority Overnight. We ship within 24 hours of cleared payment and FFL documentation.
- Can I return it if the accuracy doesn't meet expectations?
- Returns require unfired condition and original packaging—we inspect crown and bore with borescopes. Accuracy guarantees apply only to factory ammo shooting 3-shot groups under 1 MOA at 100 yards.
