Our Assessment: Weatherby’s Mark V CFP emerged during a period when handgun hunters and specialty-pistol silhouette shooters were actively pushing the limits of bolt-action handgun performance. Built on the Mark V action and configured as a Compact Firing Platform, the design allowed rifle-level accuracy and chamber pressures to be applied in a highly maneuverable handgun format. Though produced in relatively limited numbers, the CFP quickly developed a dedicated following for its precision machining, distinctive ergonomics, and Weatherby’s trademark smooth cycling.
Chambered in .22-250 Remington, this pistol represents one of the most inherently accurate and velocity-efficient small-bore cartridges ever introduced to the American market. Since its commercial debut in the 1960s, the .22-250 has maintained a reputation for flat trajectory and blistering velocity, making it a favorite for varmint and predator shooting where shot placement at extended ranges is paramount. In a specialty pistol platform, its performance provides a unique shooting experience that blends rifle-class external ballistics with compact handling.
This example remains in very nice condition overall, with excellent bore quality, a clean action, and modest cosmetic wear. The stainless fluted barrel and blued receiver maintain strong visual contrast, and the fitted Burris 3-12x handgun optic makes this a fully functional long-range pistol setup. For collectors of specialty bolt-action handguns or shooters interested in the unique capabilities of precision pistol hunting platforms, this Mark V CFP will stand out as a rare and capable example.
