Lightweight, durable bolt-action rifles are the go-to choice for hunters and backcountry shooters who need performance without excess bulk. When the terrain gets steep and the pack weight matters, a rifle that balances feel, recoil control, and long-range capability will determine the success of a mountain day.
WEATHERBY MARK V HIGH COUNTRY
Purpose-built mountain performance
The WEATHERBY MARK V HIGH COUNTRY was engineered for high-country hunts. Its Peak 44s Bastion carbon fiber stock weighs just 24 oz, dramatically reducing pack weight while maintaining torsional rigidity. The Bastion stock’s vertical grip enhances immediate control on steep terrain and tight shooting positions, and dual front swivel studs provide attachment flexibility for bipods or slings.

Barrel, recoil mitigation, and cartridge choice
Configured with a 24″ barrel and finished in Graphite Black Cerakote, this right-hand rifle balances ballistic performance with corrosion resistance for harsh field conditions. Chambered in 7mm BC, the cartridge delivers flat trajectories and efficient long-range energy—ideal for mountain game where shots can stretch out. The 3+1 magazine capacity keeps the action slim while offering enough rounds for ethical follow-up shots.
Weatherby’s inclusion of an Accubrake and a 3DHEX recoil pad makes the rifle unexpectedly comfortable for a magnum-capable platform. The Accubrake reduces muzzle rise and felt recoil, allowing quicker target recovery; the 3DHEX pad absorbs energy during heavy recoils, preserving shooter stamina on long days.
Handling, optics, and field use
The High Country’s lightweight carbon stock and thoughtful ergonomics make offhand, kneeling, and improvised positions workable at extended ranges. Dual front swivel studs mean you can attach a compact bipod on uneven terrain or switch to a multi-point sling for long approaches. For optics, the 24″ tube gives you consistent barrel harmonics; choose a scope rated for magnum recoil and zero it for your preferred long-range load.
