When people call me a lightweight, I’m not offended. It’s my thing. My job is to never slow you down in the field. And when you get within range of the animal you’re after, it’s my second job to stop him in his tracks. *Accubrake varies on caliber.
I look like I cost a fortune. I shoot like I cost even more. But just between you and me? I have the lightest price of any Mark V with a walnut stock. However, that doesn’t mean I don’t hit just as hard as the other Mark Vs in my family.
I’m wild about technology, especially when it can help me with a little weight loss. With a light carbon fiber composite stock and strategic fluting on my barrel, I’m a lot easier to carry on challenging big game hunts.
Hunters like us know that there are countless hours spent waiting and watching before the right animal presents the perfect shot. I say spend some of that time admiring the autumn leaves. They’re engraved in my stock in case you didn’t notice.
