The Weatherby Mark V Carbon Compact is a bolt-action rifle chambered in 6.5 Creedmoor. It pairs Weatherby's 6-lug Mark V standard action with a BSF carbon barrel and a hand-laid, raised Monte Carlo fiberglass stock built for a shorter length of pull. The stock has a black finish with brown, green, and white sponge accents, and the receiver is Cerakoted OD Green.

The Mark V Carbon Compact in 6.5 Creedmoor draws the same praise Weatherby's Mark V line usually gets: tight chamber tolerances and a bolt that cycles smoothly from the factory. Owners of the carbon-barreled compact variant say the reduced weight is noticeable the moment they pick the rifle up next to a standard steel-barreled Mark V.

The raised Monte Carlo stock and shortened length of pull get consistent praise from smaller-statured shooters who found a standard-length stock awkward to mount. The OD Green and graphite black color scheme is a common talking point too, since it stands out from the typical black synthetic stock most factory rifles ship with.

Value opinions split along the usual lines: buyers chasing 6.5 Creedmoor for long-range work see the carbon barrel and compact ergonomics as worth the premium, while others feel a heavier steel-barreled rifle in the same chambering delivers similar performance for less money. Parts and gunsmith support for the Mark V action are well established.
