It is a full custom rifle, so it is not really equivalent to either model. The action/bolt design is very similar to the Mark V action. The barrel is custom and shots tighter groups with factory ammo then advertised from Weatherby.
 
The action is indeed a howa action. It may have been gone through and trued but it is is not a mark v. Then chambered in a Weatherby round.
The mark v is a much tougher action that being said you give up no performance because brass will fail way before the action will.
Very nice looking rifle
