The Weatherby Mark V Live Wild in 25 Creedmoor (Weatherby part no. MLW01N25CMR4B) puts the storied Mark V action, long a benchmark among Weatherby rifles, behind a modern backcountry-hunting cartridge. The 22-inch barrel is cut at a 1:10-inch twist to stabilize the 25 Creedmoor’s typical bullet weights, and the rifle ships with no sights so the full length of rail is open for a hunting scope. A 4-round capacity keeps the action trim for climbing and glassing, and the Live Wild trim is built for hunters who spend more time hiking to game than shooting from a bench. This is a rifle sized for mountain and backcountry hunts where every ounce on the pack matters.
