Mark V® Deluxe Varmintmaster

(9 customer reviews)

$2,999.00

In 1964, Roy Weatherby introduced the Varmintmaster Action—a 6-lug bolt designed for high-velocity cartridges like the .224 WBY Magnum. With a few modernizations, the Mark V Standard Short Action revitalizes this legacy with precision and performance. Featuring a classic Monte Carlo AA-grade walnut stock with a high-gloss finish, the new Varmintmaster blends timeless Weatherby craftsmanship with cutting-edge advancements.

A modern take on a legacy rifle

The new Mark V Deluxe Varmintmaster is built on the all new Mark V Standard Short Action. This action is based on Roy Weatherby’s original design that was introduced in 1964 and ran in production until 1994 when it was replaced by the current modern-day Mark V 6-Lug Standard Action. Both actions utilize a 6-Lug bolt design and the main difference between the two is that the Mark V action is a trimmed-down and shorter version of the Standard action.

The new Deluxe Varmintmaster features a classic Monte Carlo high gloss stock that Roy Weatherby was known for. It features regal diamond-point checkering, a rosewood forend and grip cap, and maple spacers giving it that timeless look.

The field crowned barrel has a classic high gloss blued finish and is threaded for the convenient use of a brake or suppressor. The twist rates have been updated to a 1:8 twist from the original 1:14 twists. This allows the new Deluxe Varmintmaster to stabilize heavier bullets like the 80.5 gr Berger FBT.  If you have one of the original Varmintmasters, don’t fear as we have new ammo options for that as well.

The new Mark V Standard Short Action is longer than the original Varmintmaster action. This will allow for longer cartridges like the .308 to be used in the future.
*Orginal Varmintmaster inlets and pic rails will not be compatible with the new Varmintmaster.

How do you tell if you have an old or new Varmintmaster?
The two easiest ways to identify if you have a new or old Varmintmaster is new Varmintmasters will have a WY prefix in the serial number and the barrel will be stamped with 1:8 twist. All original Vamintmasters will have a 1:14 twist rate.

  1. mikeschwartzbauer27 –

    I just received my Varmintmaster 2/2/2026. I had ordered the rifle 3/2025. It was worth the wait! When inspecting it at my LGS I had everyone’s attention on how beautiful the rifle looked. Hopefully it shoots as good as my Super Varmint Master! This will not be my last Mark V Deluxe!!!

  2. Michael Schwartzbauer –

    I just received my new .22-250 Varmintmaster 2/3/26. Ordered 3/25. It was worth the wait! The rifle is gorgeous, and it won’t be my last Mark V Deluxe. Hopefully this one shoots just as good as my Supervarmint Master!

  3. Daniel J. Roser –

    I own many Mark V rifles including an older .224. I just received my new
    .224 Varmintmaster along with a 22-250 Varmintmaster. They both are spectacular well manufactured rifles. The 1:8 twist will greatly improve the accuracy in both rifles.

  4. Daniel stevens –

    As an owner of 8 deluxe rifles I can’t wait for my order to get here in Elko Nevada I’m told 3 months out but it will be worth the wait and then onto the next one that catches my eye

  5. Dan Scott –

    Best News Ever!! I have been hoping for the rebirth of the .224 for many years. I own a German .224 and a Japanese .22-250. Can’t wait to add Sheridan to my collection !

  6. Kriss Wegemer –

    I have an original Varmintmaster in .224 Weatherby that I dearly love. The new .224 with the 1:8 twist is a dream come true for me. Bravo on that decision!! I’ll be talking to my dealer today!

  7. Mark Anthony Plum –

    Having owned- for many years now- an original and absolutely perfect 1963 “Pat. Pend.” Varmintmaster in .224, I am looking forward to this new offering. I am so happy that this cartridge has been resurrected!

  8. Dudley Hearn –

    Beautiful Rifle. Would love to own If it came in Left Hand.

  9. Dennie Mann –

    I purchased my first Weatherby Varmintmaster in 1983 with a set trigger which was an awesome coyote rifle. This new rifle with a 1/8 twist will make this cartridge legendary for hunting both varmints and antelope. My wife was hooked on this rifle the first morning calling coyotes, 3 shots and 3 coyotes. Congratulations Weatherby in bringing this cartridge back after 30 years.
