The Weatherby Mark V Live Wild Carbon .257 Weatherby Magnum is a lightweight mountain rifle built in collaboration with Remi Warren (Weatherby part no. MLC01N257WR6B). Weatherby started with the Mark V action and added a BSF carbon fiber barrel for reduced weight and better heat dispersion, plus a Peak 44 Bastion carbon fiber stock that is hand painted in black and grey sponge accents. The threaded muzzle carries an Accubrake ST to help manage recoil from the magnum cartridge. A TriggerTech trigger and a deeply spiral-fluted bolt come standard, and the metalwork is Carbon Grey and Graphite Black Cerakote. It is meant for hunters who climb higher and hunt harder.
