The Weatherby Mark V Live Wild in 7mm Backcountry (brand part no. MLC01N7MMBR18B) shortens the barrel to 16 inches for a compact, suppressor-friendly build on the proven Mark V action. 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 4-round magazine, giving 4+1 on-hand capacity. Among bolt guns in the bolt action rifles category, this short-barreled Live Wild favors backcountry hunters who want a compact rifle for a suppressor and tight terrain.
