Weatherby Mark V High Country .280 Ackley Improved Bolt, Brown

Starting at just 5.7 lb, the Mark V High-Country is purpose-built as a lightweight, versatile mountain rifle designed for serious hunters. It features the Peak 44 Bastion carbon fiber stock, which weighs only 24 oz, ensuring that you can carry it comfortably over long distances. The Bastion stock is designed with a shooter-friendly vertical grip and includes dual front swivel studs, allowing for multiple attachments to customize your setup for any adventure. Equipped with an Accubrake and the innovative 3DHEX Recoil pad, the High-Country effectively manages recoil, making it comfortable to shoot even with Weatherby's renowned magnum cartridges. This is the rifle you want when venturing into the most rugged terrains of the High-Country. Building on the popularity of the ground-breaking Backcountry 2.0 series, the High-Country elevates the Mark V line-up by introducing a lightweight vertical grip option. The Peak 44 Bastion stock stands out as one of the lightest vertical grip stocks on the market today, combining durability with advanced ergonomics. The 3DHEX Recoil pad features interlocking voids that progressively collapse during recoil, expanding the time component of the recoil impulse to mitigate the sharp kick associated with magnum cartridges, ensuring a smoother shooting experience. The High-Country is built on the classic steel Weatherby Mark V action, featuring a lightweight spiral-fluted barrel that not only reduces weight but also enhances heat management. The spiral fluting on the bolt body minimizes weight and reduces bearing surface within the action, resulting in smoother operation. Additionally, the threaded bolt handle is fitted with a lightweight skeletonized knob for easy manipulation. The spiral-fluted barrel is threaded and equipped with Weatherby's highly effective Accubrake ST, featuring 30 symmetrically spaced ports that help harness recoil, making even the most powerful magnum cartridges comfortable to shoot. With its combination of lightweight design, advanced recoil management and rugged durability, the Mark V High-Country is the ultimate companion for hunters seeking precision and performance in the field. Experience the difference of a rifle engineered for the demands of high-altitude adventures.
