Weatherby Mark V DGR and Frontier Dangerous Game Rifles
Weatherby has introduced two new dangerous game hunting versions of their Mark V bolt action rifle, dubbed Frontier and DGR. The main differences between the two rifles are in the furniture and chambering options. Weatherby advertises these new products as rifles engineered to operate in the extremes and deliver when every moment matters.
Weatherby @ TFB:
The Weatherby Mark V DGR features a hand-painted fiberglass Monte Carlo stock, whereas the Mark V Frontier comes with an exhibition-grade walnut stock fitted with a rosewood forend and grip cap, both accented with maple spacers.
Mark V DGR is available chambered in .375 H&H Mag, .378 Wby Mag, .416 Wby Mag and .460 Wby Mag. The Mark V Frontier has more caliber options; in addition to the DGR chamberings, it can also be ordered in .257 Wby Mag, .300 Wby Mag, .300 Wby Mag and 6.5-300 Wby Mag.
Barrel lengths are 24” or 26” and the muzzles are threaded with 5/8x24 or 11/16-24 thread pitches. The rifles come with Accubrake ST muzzle brakes installed, which add two inches to the barrel length and are advertised to reduce the felt recoil by up to 53%. Magazine capacity is three or four rounds (plus one in the chamber). Overall lengths are 44.25” to 46.25” and the rifles weigh 8.4 to 9.2 lbs, depending on the caliber and model.
The new Weatherby dangerous game rifles also feature fluted bolts with a 54-degree throw and removable knobs, TriggerTech triggers, NECG iron sights and Cerakote finish of metal parts.
The price of the Weatherby Mark V DGR rifle is $3,999. The Mark V Frontier costs $1,000 more, $4,999. These rifles are built to order, with an estimated lead time of 90 days. All Mark V rifles are guaranteed to shoot three-shot sub-MOA groups at 100 yards from a cold barrel with Weatherby factory or premium ammunition.

Is this a joke?
Beautiful rifles and for those who think push feed is not reliable, every modern AR/Stoner rifle platform uses a push feed lol. Even Ruger dropped the control feed for push feed in their hunting rifles. Push feed is very reliable as the Remington bolt action sniper/hunting rifle has proven for decades on the hunting and battle field. I have used Remington and Weatherby push feed rifles since the 1970's and I have never encountered one malfunction with this type of feed system.
