The mountain hunter and precision shooter face a unique set of demands: carry weight, controllable recoil, and a rifle platform that performs at distance under austere conditions. For operators who prioritize trail miles without sacrificing terminal performance, a purpose-built ultra-light bolt action is the logical choice.

WEATHERBY MARK V HIGHCOUNTRY is designed specifically around that mission profile. Starting at just 5.7 lbs, the Mark V High Country combines a featherweight system with features that preserve accuracy and shooter comfort on long approaches. The rifle ships with Peak 44’s Bastion carbon fiber stock weighing only 24oz, a shooter-friendly vertical grip and dual front swivel studs for multiple attachments. It also includes an Accubrake and a 3DHEX® recoil pad to manage recoil from Weatherby’s historic magnum cartridges, making it a sensible pick for serious backcountry work. Shop this product

Lightweight design without compromise

At a baseline weight of 5.7 lbs, the WEATHERBY MARK V HIGHCOUNTRY is one of the lightest factory Mark V platforms. The Bastion carbon fiber stock from Peak 44 reduces carried weight to a minimum while preserving a rigid bedding surface—critical for repeatable accuracy. The vertical grip improves control on steep approaches and in uneven shooting positions.

Recoil management and modularity

Magnum cartridges demand attention to recoil. The High Country’s Accubrake tames muzzle rise, while the 3DHEX® recoil pad disperses felt energy across a larger surface area for faster follow-up shots and less shooter fatigue. Dual front swivel studs add modularity for bipods or trekking pole attachments, giving you practical options when glassing or setting a field rest. Brand: Weatherby. Category: Bolt Action. Model: Various. Price: $2400.99.

Field applications

This rifle excels for glass-and-go hunts, alpine stalks, and any operation where every ounce matters. Because Weatherby’s magnum cartridges remain an option, you retain flat trajectories and terminal performance at long range without lugging a heavier chassis.
