The Weatherby Mark V High Country rifle in .240 Weatherby Magnum with a vertical grip and AccuBrake ST (brand part no. MHC01N240WR6B) builds on the Backcountry 2.0 series with a lightweight vertical grip option for hunters who want a more traditional handhold. Weatherby fits the Peak 44 Bastion vertical grip carbon fiber stock, weighing just 24 ounces, one of the lightest vertical grip stocks on the market, with dual front swivel studs and a 3D Hex recoil pad whose interlocking voids progressively collapse to deaden the sharp kick of magnum chamberings. The classic steel Mark V action pairs with a lightweight spiral-fluted 24-inch barrel, and the threaded bolt handle carries a lightweight skeletonized knob. The spiral-fluted barrel is threaded and fitted with Weatherby’s AccuBrake ST, using 30 symmetrically spaced ports to tame recoil. Among vertical-grip mountain bolt action rifles, this Mark V High Country configuration favors hunters who prefer a traditional vertical grip in a lightweight package.
