The Weatherby Mark V High Country rifle in 6.5 Wby RPM (brand part no. MHC01N65RWR6B) is purpose-built as a lightweight, versatile mountain rifle, starting at just 5.7 pounds for hunters who cover serious ground. Weatherby fits 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. The 24-inch barrel is threaded 1/2×28 with a 2-inch muzzle brake, and an AccuBrake paired with a 3D Hex recoil pad manages recoil from this Weatherby proprietary magnum cartridge extremely well. The rifle feeds from a 4+1-round magazine. Among ultralight mountain bolt action rifles, this Mark V High Country configuration favors hunters chasing game at the furthest depths of the backcountry.
