The Weatherby Mark V Live Wild chambered in .270 Weatherby Magnum (Weatherby part no. MLW01N270WR8B) pushes the storied Mark V action into genuine long-range magnum territory. The 26-inch barrel is built to wring the full velocity out of the .270 Weatherby Magnum cartridge, a round developed to hit harder and flatter than the standard .270 Winchester at extended range. Twist is cut at 1-in-10-inch to stabilize the heavier bullets hunters load for elk and other large plains and mountain game. A 3+1 capacity and a clean receiver with no sights installed leave the rifle ready for a serious long-range hunting optic. This is a Weatherby Mark V built for the hunter who wants magnum reach without giving up the accuracy the Mark V action is known for.
