The Weatherby Mark V Carbon Compact (model MCC01N280AR4B) is a bolt-action rifle chambered in 280 Ackley Improved, built on the Mark V action with a 54-degree bolt lift and a 22-inch #4 contour carbon barrel. It has a compact 13-inch length of pull for a shorter overall fit and a synthetic stock finished in OD Green Cerakote to match the metal. The threaded barrel ships with an Accubrake muzzle brake, bringing the overall barrel length to roughly 24 inches.

The Mark V Carbon Compact carries the same reputation for tight chambering and accuracy as other Mark V rifles, and owners chambering it in 280 Ackley Improved generally report good round-to-round consistency. The carbon barrel keeps the rifle light without giving up much perceived stiffness, though as with any carbon-wrapped barrel a few shooters note it needs a cooldown period between strings to stay consistent.

The shorter length of pull is the main draw for hunters who found a standard Mark V stock too long, and most say the fit works well for smaller-framed shooters or those hunting in bulky cold-weather gear. The Accubrake noticeably cuts felt recoil, which owners appreciate given the compact build, though it comes with more muzzle blast at the bench.

Compact Mark V rifles carry the same premium pricing as the rest of the line, and owners generally feel the shorter stock and lighter carbon barrel are worth it if the standard-length rifle did not fit. Since it ships without sights, buyers budget for an optic and mount as part of the total cost, and aftermarket support follows the same Mark V ecosystem as other models.
