Weatherby Mark V Camilla Ultra Lightweight .240 Wby Mag, 24 in – Built for Precision and Comfort

The Weatherby Mark V Camilla Ultra Lightweight .240 Wby Mag, 24 in is a purpose-built bolt-action rifle that combines a custom-fit stock developed by women for women with the proven accuracy of the Mark V action. This rifle features a hand-laid raised Monte Carlo fiberglass stock with a higher comb, slimmer grip with gentle palm swell, and a shortened 13-inch length of pull for optimized scope-eye alignment and reduced felt recoil. The action and barrel receive Midnight Bronze Cerakote, while controls are Graphite Black Cerakote; aluminum bedding blocks support consistent accuracy. Per Weatherby specs, the rifle is drilled and tapped for optics and comes with a TriggerTech trigger. At $1,949, it’s a serious tool for the woman who demands a rifle that fits her without compromise.

Key Features

• Women-Specific Stock Geometry – WHY IT MATTERS: The higher comb and shorter 13-inch length of pull align your eye with the scope naturally, reducing neck strain and improving shot placement. The slimmer grip and palm swell fit smaller hands securely.
• Hand-Laid Fiberglass Monte Carlo Stock – WHY IT MATTERS: This lightweight, rigid stock absorbs recoil better than synthetic alternatives, and the raised comb prevents cheek slap during extended range sessions.
• TriggerTech Trigger – WHY IT MATTERS: A crisp, adjustable trigger with zero creep helps you break clean shots at distance. Per Weatherby specs, the trigger is factory-set at 2.5–3.5 pounds for a safe yet responsive pull.
• Midnight Bronze Cerakote Finish – WHY IT MATTERS: This corrosion-resistant coating protects the barrel and action from sweat, rain, and field moisture, while the Graphite Black controls resist wear at high-contact points.
• Aluminum Bedding Blocks – WHY IT MATTERS: These blocks anchor the action to the stock for consistent torque and repeatable accuracy, even when the rifle is carried hard in the field.

Who It’s For

This rifle is built for the woman who hunts or shoots competitively and has struggled to find a factory rifle that fits her body dimensions. It’s also ideal for anyone with shorter arms or a smaller frame who wants a lightweight magnum rifle without the typical 14-inch-plus length of pull. If you’re a left-handed shooter? Sorry – this model is right-handed only.

Pros & Cons

• Pros: True women-specific fit – not just a shortened stock; ultra-lightweight at 6.25 lbs; Cerakote finish resists rust; TriggerTech trigger is factory-crisp; aluminum bedding blocks for accuracy.
• Cons: Right-handed only; .240 Wby Mag ammo is pricier and less common than .243 Win; stock does not have adjustable cheekpiece – fit is fixed at 13-inch LOP.

The Weatherby costs more, but you’re paying for a custom-fit stock and a magnum cartridge that pushes a 100-grain bullet at 3,400 fps – 200 fps faster than .243 Win. If you want a lightweight, ready-to-hunt rifle that fits a smaller frame without aftermarket work, the Camilla delivers.

According to the National Shooting Sports Foundation, women now account for over 30% of new firearm buyers, and rifles like the Camilla address a real gap in the market: factory rifles that actually fit smaller-statured shooters.

FAQ

Is the Weatherby Mark V Camilla available in left-handed configuration?

No – this model is currently offered only in right-handed action. Left-handed shooters will need to look at custom builds or other brands like Savage with left-handed options.

What is the effective range of the .240 Weatherby Magnum?

With a 100-grain bullet at 3,400 fps, the .240 Wby Mag is effective on deer-sized game out to 400–500 yards. It’s a flat-shooting round with less recoil than a .30-06, making it ideal for women and smaller-framed shooters.

Can I mount any scope on this rifle?

Yes – the receiver is drilled and tapped for standard #6-48 screw holes, compatible with most one-piece scope bases. Weatherby recommends their factory rings for best alignment.

Does the TriggerTech trigger have a safety?

Yes – the Mark V action includes a three-position safety: safe (bolt locked), safe (bolt operable), and fire. The TriggerTech trigger itself is adjustable for pull weight only – no safety function is built into the trigger unit.

What is the warranty on this rifle?

Weatherby offers a lifetime warranty to the original owner against defects in materials and workmanship. Cerakote finish is covered for one year against flaking or peeling under normal use.
