Weatherby Mark V High Country 6.5-300 Weatherby Magnum Bolt, Brown

Starting at just 5.7 lb, the Mark V high-country is expertly crafted as a lightweight, versatile mountain rifle, designed for the serious hunter. It features Peak 44's Bastion carbon fiber stock, which weighs only 24 oz, making it one of the lightest vertical grip stocks available on the market today. The Bastion stock includes a shooter-friendly vertical grip and dual front swivel studs, allowing for multiple attachment options to accommodate various gear. Equipped with an Accubrake and the innovative 3DHEX Recoil pad, the high-country excels in managing recoil, providing a comfortable shooting experience even with Weatherby's historic magnum cartridges. This rifle is your ideal companion for long hikes into the most remote high-country terrains. Building on the success of the ground-breaking Backcountry 2.0 series, the high-country adds a lightweight vertical grip option that enhances ergonomics and control. The 3DHEX Recoil pad features interlocking voids that progressively collapse during recoil, extending the time component of the recoil impulse to effectively reduce the sharp kick associated with magnum chamberings. The high-country is built on the classic steel Weatherby Mark V action and features a lightweight spiral-fluted barrel. The spiral fluting not only reduces weight but also aids in heat management during extended shooting sessions. Additionally, the spiral fluting on the bolt body trims excess weight and reduces bearing surface within the action, resulting in smoother function. The threaded bolt handle is fitted with a lightweight skeletonized knob for easy manipulation. Furthermore, the spiral-fluted barrel is threaded and equipped with Weatherby's highly effective Accubrake ST, which incorporates 30 symmetrically spaced ports to help harness recoil, making even the most powerful magnum cartridges manageable and enjoyable to shoot. With its perfect blend of lightweight design, advanced recoil management and rugged durability, the Mark V high-country is the ultimate choice for hunters seeking precision and performance in demanding environments. Experience the next generation of mountain rifles with the Mark V high-country, where innovation meets tradition.
