The Weatherby Mark V Live Wild in 7mm Backcountry (brand part no. MLC01N7MMBR2B) pairs a carbon fiber-profile 20-inch barrel with the proven Mark V action, chambered in Weatherby’s purpose-built backcountry cartridge. Weatherby cuts a 1-in-8-inch twist into the barrel to stabilize heavy 7mm bullets, and the rifle ships without iron sights, built to run an optic from the start. The rifle feeds from a 3-round magazine, giving 3+1 on-hand capacity. Among bolt guns in the bolt action rifles category, the Live Wild favors backcountry hunters who want a lightweight, optic-ready long-range rifle.
