[QUOTE="Dr. Vette, post: 1764274, member: 22335"] To clarify, The Mark V Ultra Lightweight models have 9 lug actions, fluted barrels, B&C stock with aluminum at the pillars (they're not actually bedded) and are available in a variety of cartridges, including Weatherby magnums. The 6 lug action you refer to is not an Ultralight. It is and has been used for many standard cartridges, but has never been referred to by Weatherby as the Ultralight or Ultra Lightweight. However, the 6 lug action is the basis of the brand new Backcountry series so in a way it has become the "Ultra Ultra" Lightweight of Mark V's. And yes, an Accumark stock would fit an Ultra Lightweight. Note that the barrel would then be floated due to the larger barrel channel, and the rifle would be a bit heavier. The Accumark stock is a bit wider in the fore end and has a full length aluminum bedding block. [/QUOTE]
