Weatherby Mark V Live Wild 7mm Backcountry 20-inch Rifle, Grey/Black

The Weatherby Mark V Live Wild (brand part no. MLW01N7MMBR2B) is a bolt-action rifle chambered in 7mm Backcountry and built by Weatherby around its legendary Mark V action for hunters chasing mountain game far from the truck. A 20-inch spiral-fluted barrel keeps weight down for long climbs, while the carbon fiber stock and grey Cerakote metalwork shave additional ounces without giving up structural rigidity. Weatherby’s new 7mm Backcountry cartridge is purpose-built for exactly this kind of rifle: light, hard-hitting, and tuned for hunters who measure their day in vertical feet rather than miles. A hand-painted stock finish adds a distinctive look to a rifle built for serious use.
