The Weatherby Mark V High Country (brand part no. MHC01N7MMPR6B) starts at just 5.7 pounds, purpose-built as a lightweight, versatile mountain rifle chambered in 7mm PRC. It features 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. Equipped with an Accubrake and 3D-Hex recoil pad from Weatherby, the High Country manages recoil extremely well even with historically stout magnum cartridges. The 24-inch barrel is threaded 1/2×28 with a 2-inch muzzle brake attached, and the 1:8 twist stabilizes the long, high-BC bullets 7mm PRC is designed around. It’s the rifle for hiking deep into the high country, and it fits among our bolt action rifles.
