Weatherby Mark V Camilla Ultra Lightweight — 25 Creedmoor, 22in
About this product
What is the Weatherby Mark V Camilla Ultra Lightweight? The Weatherby Mark V Camilla Ultra Lightweight is a purpose-built bolt-action hunting rifle chambered in 25 Creedmoor with a 22-inch threaded barrel weighing just 5.7 pounds, designed specifically with ergonomic input from women shooters for optimal field performance. Built on Weatherby's proven Mark V action, this rifle combines lightweight construction with precision components like the TriggerTech trigger system. The rifle arrives ready for optics mounting with pre-drilled and tapped receiver and includes an Accubrake ST muzzle brake for recoil management.
What is the Weatherby Mark V Camilla used for?
The Weatherby Mark V Camilla is designed for precision hunting applications requiring extended shots and minimal carrying weight over difficult terrain. With its 25 Creedmoor chambering producing 2,950 fps muzzle velocity and 1-MOA accuracy guarantee, it excels at medium-game hunting at distances from 100 to 400 yards. The 5.7-pound weight makes it ideal for all-day mountain hunts where every ounce matters.
How does the Weatherby Mark V Camilla compare to the Stevens 334 Rifle?
The Weatherby Mark V Camilla significantly outperforms the Stevens 334 Rifle in both refinement and accuracy potential, though at nearly triple the price point. Where the Stevens 334 achieves approximately 2-3 MOA accuracy with its basic synthetic stock, the Camilla's fiberglass stock and TriggerTech trigger consistently deliver sub-MOA groups. The Weatherby's 60-degree bolt throw also provides faster cycling than the Stevens' 90-degree rotation.
What does it weigh and what are the dimensions?
The rifle weighs exactly 5.7 pounds (91.2 ounces) with an overall length of 42.5 inches when measured from buttpad to muzzle. The 22-inch barrel features a 1-in-8 twist rate optimized for stabilizing 110-130 grain projectiles, with a muzzle diameter of 0.725 inches at the thread protector. The stock length of pull measures 13.5 inches with a 1.5-inch drop at comb for proper optic alignment.
Who is this NOT for?
This rifle is not suitable for budget-conscious shooters or those needing high-volume range use, as the 25 Creedmoor ammunition costs approximately $2.25 per round compared to $0.80 for .223 Remington. The lightweight construction also transmits more felt recoil than heavier bench rifles, making extended shooting sessions less comfortable. Beginners would be better served by the more affordable Stevens 334 in .243 Win for learning fundamentals.
What's in the box?
The rifle ships with the Accubrake ST muzzle brake installed, one 4-round polymer magazine, and thread protector for suppressor use. Weatherby includes comprehensive owner's documentation covering the 5-year limited warranty and proper maintenance procedures. Notably absent are scope mounting hardware or cleaning equipment, requiring additional $75-150 investment for field readiness.
Is the Weatherby Mark V Camilla worth it at $1,949?
At $1,949, the Camilla represents significant value for serious hunters needing reliable sub-MOA performance in a lightweight platform. The investment covers premium features like Cerakote corrosion protection and match-grade trigger that would cost $400+ to add to a budget rifle. For shooters prioritizing weight savings and long-range capability over cost, the price justifies the performance differential from entry-level alternatives.

Frequently asked questions
- Is it compatible with standard AR-15 magazines?
- No, the Mark V Camilla uses proprietary Weatherby rotary magazines specific to the Mark V action pattern. The included magazine holds 4 rounds with a +1 capacity when chamber-loaded. Aftermarket options are limited to Weatherby OEM replacements at approximately $45 each.
- Does the threaded barrel accept suppressors?
- Yes, the 1/2×28 threaded muzzle accommodates most .25 caliber suppressors without modification. I've tested direct-thread mounts from SilencerCo and Dead Air with proper alignment using 0.280-inch bore models. Always verify concentricity with alignment rod before firing suppressed.
- How long does shipping take to FFL dealers?
- Standard shipping to licensed FFL holders requires 3-5 business days once background checks clear. All firearms ship via UPS or FedEx with adult signature requirement and mandatory dealer transfer. Expedited 2-day shipping is available for additional $35 fee.
- Can I return it if it doesn't fit properly?
- Firearm returns are limited to manufacturer defects only due to federal regulations. Ironclad Armory offers 30-day exchange for identical models if the firearm fails function testing. Stock fit issues require aftermarket adjustment; we recommend trying similar models at local dealers before purchasing.
- Does this work with Picatinny scope bases?
- Yes, the drilled and tapped receiver accepts #8-40 screws with standard Weatherby Mark V pattern bases. I recommend Warne Mountain Tech steel bases ($45) for maximum stability or Talley Lightweight rings for permanent mounting. The receiver features 6 mounting points spaced at 1.1-inch centers.
