The Fibermark Alaskan configuration pairs a durable, matte electroless-nickel (light silver) metal finish with a rugged synthetic stock. This finish is characteristic of the Alaskan series and is designed to stand up to harsh environments. The receiver is marked "MADE IN JAPAN," consistent with Howa production during this period.
Built on the magnum-length Mark V action, this rifle uses the 9-lug bolt that Weatherby is known for. It is chambered in .270 Weatherby Magnum and fitted with a 26-inch barrel, aligning with the cartridge’s performance-focused specification. The internal box magazine uses a hinged floorplate, providing a capacity of 3+1.
The black synthetic Monte Carlo stock includes a cheekpiece, molded textured grip panels, a recoil pad, and a grip cap. Length of pull is 13.25 inches. This full-size configuration balances the magnum action and long barrel for stable handling.
The receiver is drilled and tapped for optics, and this rifle comes with two-piece scope bases and 1-inch rings already installed. There are no iron sights on this model. The overall configuration reflects the early 1990s Fibermark Alaskan setup and aligns with the H-prefix era of Howa-made Mark V rifles.
