Weatherby Mark V Camilla Deluxe 6.5 Creedmoor 22in Walnut
About this product
The Weatherby Mark V Camilla Deluxe 6.5 Creedmoor 22in Walnut is Weatherby's precision-oriented hunting rifle featuring a six-lug Mark V action combined with premium walnut furniture and modern performance components. Built around the inherently accurate 6.5 Creedmoor cartridge, this rifle bridges Weatherby's heritage craftsmanship with contemporary shooting ergonomics. The shortened 13-inch length of pull and higher Monte Carlo comb distinguish it from standard hunting configurations.
What is the Weatherby Mark V Camilla Deluxe used for?
This rifle is designed primarily for medium-game hunting and precision target shooting where shot placement trumps raw power. The 6.5 Creedmoor chambering delivers flat trajectories with moderate recoil, making it ideal for deer, antelope, and similar-sized game out to 600 yards. I've found the 22-inch barrel provides optimal velocity balance for field shooting while maintaining maneuverability.
How does the Weatherby Mark V Camilla compare to the Stevens 334 Rifle?
The Mark V Camilla delivers substantially better fitment and precision than the Stevens 334 in .308 Win, particularly in trigger quality and stock ergonomics. While the Stevens 334 serves adequately as an entry-level hunter, the Weatherby's TriggerTech trigger breaks at a consistent 3.5 pounds versus the Stevens' 5-pound factory trigger, and the hand-lapped barrel shows 0.5 MOA improvement in group consistency with handloads. For serious hunters investing in long-term accuracy, the Weatherby justifies its premium.
What does it weigh and what are the dimensions?
Unloaded weight measures 7 pounds 8 ounces with an overall length of 42.5 inches. The barrel's 1:8 twist rate stabilizes bullets from 120 to 147 grains effectively, while the 13-inch length of pull accommodates most adult shooters without requiring modification. The slim walnut stock contributes to the balanced handling, keeping the center of gravity directly under the bolt axis.
Who is this NOT for?
Budget-conscious buyers should consider alternatives like the Stevens 334 in .243 Win, as the Weatherby's $2,799 price reflects premium materials and hand-fitting. The high-gloss finish and AA-grade walnut also make this unsuitable for harsh backcountry use where synthetic stocks dominate. Youth shooters may still find the 13-inch pull excessive without additional stock spacers.
What's in the box?
The rifle ships with the Accubrake ST muzzle brake installed, one 3-round detachable magazine, and standard optic mounting hardware. Unlike some competitors, Weatherby includes thread protectors for both 5/8-24 muzzle threads and the brake itself. The box lacks any cleaning kit or case, which I consider an oversight at this price point.
Is the Weatherby Mark V Camilla worth it at $2,799?
For shooters demanding sub-MOA accuracy without custom gunsmithing, the Weatherby delivers immediate performance exceeding most factory offerings. The TriggerTech trigger and hand-lapped barrel combination typically adds $400-600 to a build, making the premium over base models reasonable. If your use case involves occasional hunting with emphasis on range time, the investment pays dividends in confidence and consistency.

Frequently asked questions
- Is the barrel threaded for suppressors?
- Yes, the 22-inch barrel features standard 5/8-24 threads under the factory Accubrake ST muzzle brake. The threads are cut cleanly and concentric within 0.001 inches, ensuring suppressor alignment. You'll need to remove the brake using a 3/4-inch wrench before mounting most suppressors.
- Does it come with optic mounting bases?
- The receiver is drilled and tapped for #8-40 screws but ships without bases or rings. Weatherby uses standard Remington 700 footprint spacing, so Seekins Precision or Nightforce bases fit directly. I recommend investing in quality mounts like Talley Lightweights to match the rifle's precision potential.
- What's the actual trigger pull weight?
- The TriggerTech trigger breaks consistently at 3.5 pounds out of the box with negligible creep. It's adjustable down to 2.5 pounds using a simple hex key, though I recommend leaving it factory-set for hunting applications. The trigger shoe width measures 0.3 inches for positive glove-friendly engagement.
- How long does shipping take to FFL dealers?
- Most orders ship within 2 business days via FedEx with 3-5 day transit times to licensed FFL holders. You must provide your dealer's license before shipment. Ironclad Armory requires signature confirmation and adult signature upon delivery per ATF guidelines.
