As more and more scope stops including mounting rings, it’s a bit of a hard task to find the best one for your gun that is also compatible with your scope. Weatherby Mark V doesn’t come with any mounting rings.
That makes things a bit more complicated. Don’t fret, I’m here to solve that issue for you guys. Today, I’m going to introduce you guys to some of the best scope mounts for Weatherby Mark V. Without further ado, let’s find them out.
Best Weatherby Mark V Scope Mounts – [Editor’s Pick]
1. Leupold BackCountry Two-Piece Scope Mount
Leupold is one of the most popular riflescopes-making brands on the market. Their scopes generally don’t come with any mounting rings. Leupold does make them separately and makes them at different sizes, and heights, and compatible with different guns.
The BlackCountry mounting rings are one of the most sold pairs in the market. This one is made out of durable aluminum. It’s lightweight and rugged. Leupold used the same type of aluminum they used on their riflescopes. That’s fantastic for a pair of mounting rings.
It comes in various sizes and heights for your convenience. Don’t forget to check out all of the options before you purchase. As Weatherby Mark 5 uses a bit of a different mounting mechanism, you should buy the models that are specifically made for Mark 5.
Where is this made?
It’s made in the USA.
Does this come in a 1” ring size?
It does.
Can I choose low-profile rings?
Yes, they make high and low-profile rings. Both styles are present.
2. Evolution HD Weatherby Mark V Picatinny Mount
Let’s say you already have a scope and mounting rings. It supports the Picatinny mounting rail and you don’t want to change the scope or ring at this moment. What can you do? You can purchase a Picatinny scope mounting rail for the Mark V and add it to the gun directly.
This way, you will have complete freedom of choosing any scope and mounting rings that support Picatinny/weaver style mounting rails. The rail looks nice. It is also quite well-built. The weight of the rail is not that high.
The overall length of the mount is 7.064”. That gives you enough freedom to choose a long-range riflescope and pair it with the Mark V. Evolution gun works makes sure this product doesn’t catch rust ever and looks glorious for a long time.
Is it for long action or short?
It’s for long action.
Will this fit on a Weatherby Mark 5 460 mag?
It will fit on any Mark V with the 9-lug action. They all share the same length from .257 and up. It will, however, not fit 6-lug actions.
Where is this made?
It’s made in the USA.
3. Talley Accumark Magnum Mark V Scope Mount
We are reaching price tags that wouldn’t have been possible to reach even 2 decades ago. The Talley Accumark is a pair of scope mounts made out of durable aluminum that can withstand all magnum calibers.
This pair was designed to run through at least 1000 rounds of magnum calibers. While it may seem like it’s not a lot, it really is a lot of rounds. This is also kind of a placeholder and you can use this for more than 1000 rounds. The Mark V is really picky when it comes to rings. Thankfully, Talley made the Accumark to solve that problem.
This pair of rings is suitable for 1” scopes. It features a unique two-piece design that is held on by some solid hex screws. You won’t notice any joint between the scope and rifle cause there aren’t any. It’s one of the strongest and lightest mounts on the market.
Where is this made?
It’s made in the USA.
Does this support 6-lug Weatherby Mark V?
It doesn’t. It’s made for 9-Lug.
Does it come in 30mm?
It does.
4. Leupold BackCountry Cross-Slot Scope Base
Earlier you saw the mounting rings from Leupold named BackCountry. This is also part of the same line but it’s a lot different than what you saw a little bit earlier. This one here is a mounting rail that is specifically made for Weatherby.
This mounting rail is in Picatinny style. That means you can use any scope that comes with Picatinny mounting rings on this rail. Which allows us to go deep down the hole and buy the best scope for Weatherby Mark V.
Leupold made this with 7075 T6 aluminum. It’s the same type of aluminum Leupold uses to make riflescopes and other accessories. Durable and extremely light. My key reason for suggesting this is, that you can buy a Leupold VX-Freedom or similar scope and mount it on your Mark 5. That does sound appealing, doesn’t it?
Where is this made?
It’s made in the USA.
Does Leupold provide a warranty?
They do provide a lifetime warranty.
Will this fit Weatherby Vanguard Series 2 30-06?
It will.
5. Warne Weatherby Mark V Matte Two Piece Base
There will always be a demand for low-profile mounts. Warne is here to deliver a great mounting rail for that part of the market. This is a two-piece design mounting rail for Weatherby Mark V. The Two-piece design is surprisingly good for recoil spread and for handling much more powerful riflescopes.
As this is a low-profile mounting rail, if you use a quick-release scope, you can use the iron sight when you take off the riflescope from the gun. This is convenient and I can see people liking this feature a lot. The steel bases are made with a CNC machine. It’s machined from a solid steel bar and held to a very tight tolerance. The base is molded to support weaver-style rings.
It’s one of the most versatile mounting systems on the market. The low-profile maxima steel base gives your firearm a sleek and astonishing look. Then again, the look is subjective. Honestly, I would highly recommend you to use QD rings. Trust me, your experience will be a ton better with them.
Where is this made?
It’s made in the USA.
Is this made out of stainless steel or aluminum?
Steel.
Does it include the screws needed to mount the gun?
It does include all necessary screws.
