The Weatherby Mark V Apex is a bolt-action rifle in .240 Weatherby Magnum, finished in a two-tone Coyote Tan and Graphite Black Cerakote scheme. The fluted barrel, carbon fiber stock, and alloy components bring the weight to 6.5 lbs -- light for a magnum rifle -- while the exposed carbon fiber stock with tan/brown sponge accents adds stiffness without adding mass.

Detailed Features 

The 24-inch fluted barrel has Coyote Tan Cerakote with Graphite Black on the bolt assembly and Coyote Tan on the receiver and trigger guard. Fluting reduces weight and helps the barrel cool faster during a string of shots. The carbon fiber stock contributes to the rigidity that keeps accuracy consistent when the rifle heats up or gets wet. 
 
The .240 WBY Mag runs at higher pressure than the .240 Weatherby-based standard loadings, pushing flat trajectories at extended range -- useful for open-country deer and antelope hunting. 
 
Cerakote throughout improves corrosion resistance in field conditions, and the two-tone finish is subdued enough that it does not read as a liability in the field. 
 

Usage 

The Mark V Apex fits hunters who want a light magnum for open-country work. The 1-in-10 twist with a 24-inch barrel handles factory .240 WBY Mag loads well at distance. The 6.5-lb carry weight makes it practical for all-day mountain hunts where a heavier rifle becomes a problem.

The Weatherby Mark V Apex in .240 WBY Mag with Coyote Cerakote gets a generally positive reception, with some consistent points of criticism.

The Mark V action is the most consistently praised element -- smooth bolt operation and solid build quality come up repeatedly. Accuracy at distance is another strong point; the .240 WBY Mag has flat ballistics that shooters find useful for longer shots on deer and similar game. The Coyote Cerakote finish gets credit for durability and for holding up in the field.

Price is the main sticking point. Weatherby prices the Mark V as a higher-end rifle, and some buyers -- especially those newer to hunting -- question whether the premium is justified for their use case. Recoil comes up occasionally; the .240 WBY Mag is manageable but noticeably sharper than standard .243 Win loads, and a few shooters find it harder to handle for extended range sessions. Ammunition availability and cost are also mentioned -- .240 WBY Mag is not a shelf-staple cartridge at most retailers.
