The Mark V Hunter has a signature multi-lug bolt system inspired by the interrupted thread style of lockup. The Standard version employs a six lug design while the beefier Magnum uses nine locking lugs, enabling these actions to safely chamber the hottest commercially-available cartridges on the market. It is also fitted with a freshly-designed stock. The Hunter’s stock features the same trim, flat-bottomed forend, ambidextrous palm swells, aluminum pillar construction. Threaded 1/228 for use with a suppressor or brake, the barreled action is sealed under a shell of Cobalt Cerakote, shielding it from the elements. A deeply-fluted bolt with removable knob not only trims a little weight and helps clear dust and debris, it also reduces the bearing surface within the action resulting in smoother operation. Other safety features include three rings of steel around the base of the cartridge when its in battery, a fully-enclosed bolt shroud and three gas relief ports in the bolt body to vent pressure in the case of an ammunition failure.
