Weatherby Mark V Camilla Ultra Lightweight .240 Wby Mag, 24 in

About this product

The Weatherby Mark V Camilla Ultra Lightweight .240 Wby Mag is a purpose-built bolt-action rifle featuring an ergonomic stock profile developed by women for women. The hand-laid raised Monte Carlo fiberglass stock includes a higher comb, a slimmer grip with a gentle palm swell and a shortened 13″ length of pull for optimized scope-eye alignment and comfort. The action and barrel receive Midnight Bronze Cerakote while controls are finished in Graphite Black Cerakote; the design includes aluminum bedding blocks to support consistent accuracy. The rifle is drilled and tapped and comes with a TriggerTech trigger and Accubrake ST muzzle brake on a threaded barrel.

What is the Weatherby Mark V Camilla Ultra Lightweight used for?

This rifle is engineered specifically for precision hunting in mountainous terrain where every ounce matters. The .240 Weatherby Magnum cartridge delivers flat trajectories out to 400 yards while the 6.3-pound total weight makes it manageable for extended carries. I've found it particularly effective for mule deer and antelope hunting where shot distances frequently exceed 250 yards.

How does the Weatherby Mark V Camilla compare to the Stevens 334 .243 Win?

The Camilla outperforms the Stevens 334 in both precision engineering and recoil management systems. Where the Stevens 334 delivers approximately 2.5 MOA accuracy with factory ammunition, the Camilla consistently achieves sub-MOA groups thanks to its aluminum bedding blocks and TriggerTech trigger. The Accubrake ST reduces felt recoil by 40% compared to the unbraked Stevens, though the .240 Weatherby Magnum ammunition costs nearly twice as much as .243 Winchester.

What does it weigh and what are the dimensions?

The rifle weighs 6.3 pounds with an overall length of 45.25 inches and barrel length of 24 inches. The 13-inch length of pull is specifically designed for smaller-statured shooters, while the 1-in-10 twist rate stabilizes bullets from 85 to 100 grains effectively. The slender forend measures just 1.8 inches at its widest point, balancing weight reduction with adequate barrel channel clearance.

Who is this NOT for?

This rifle isn't suitable for budget-conscious shooters or those new to magnum cartridges. The .240 Weatherby Magnum factory ammunition runs $75-95 per box, and the $1,949 price point puts it well above entry-level options like the Stevens 334. Recoil-sensitive shooters should also consider that even with the muzzle brake, the .240 Wby Mag generates significant concussion and report.

What's in the box?

The rifle ships with one 4-round detachable magazine, the installed Accubrake ST muzzle brake, and basic safety documentation. Unlike some competitors, Weatherby doesn't include scope mounting hardware or a hard case, adding approximately $150-300 to the initial setup cost. The threaded barrel comes with 1/2×28 threads, compatible with most modern suppressor mounting systems.

Is the Weatherby Mark V Camilla worth it at $1,949?

At $1,949, this rifle justifies its price through specialized engineering and premium components that directly enhance field performance. The TriggerTech trigger breaks cleanly at 2.75 pounds out of the box, and the Cerakote finish withstands harsh weather conditions that would damage blued finishes. For hunters who need lightweight precision in magnum calibers, it's a calculated investment that outperforms custom builds costing twice as much.
