The Weatherby Mark V High Country rifle in 6.5-300 Weatherby Magnum (brand part no. MHC01N653WR8B) is purpose-built as a lightweight, versatile mountain rifle, starting at just 5.7 pounds for hunters who cover serious ground. Weatherby fits Peak 44’s Bastion carbon fiber stock, which weighs only 24 ounces and includes a shooter-friendly vertical grip with dual front swivel studs for multiple attachments. An AccuBrake and 3D Hex recoil pad manage recoil from Weatherby’s historic magnum cartridge, and the spiral-fluted barrel, trigger guard, receiver, bolt, bolt knob, and safety all wear a Graphite Black Cerakote finish over the exposed carbon fiber stock’s WYO brown and backpack sponge-pattern accents. Among ultralight mountain bolt action rifles, this Mark V High Country configuration favors hunters chasing game at the furthest depths of the backcountry.
