For hunters and backcountry shooters who demand a true mountain rifle, weight, balance, and recoil management matter as much as accuracy. A rifle built to be carried to glassing points or glassed from narrow ridgelines needs modern materials and thoughtful ergonomics that minimize fatigue without sacrificing performance.

WEATHERBY MARK V HIGH COUNTRY

Shop this product — the Weatherby Mark V High Country is purpose-built as a lightweight, versatile mountain rifle and lists at $2,499.99 on the store page.

Design and materials that matter in the high country

The High Country pairs Weatherby’s Mark V action with Peak 44’s Bastion carbon fiber stock that weighs just 24 ounces. That exposed carbon fiber chassis includes WYO brown and backpack sponge pattern accents and a shooter-friendly vertical grip for confident handling on uneven terrain. Dual front swivel studs allow quick attachment of a sling or tripod point depending on your packing setup.

Barrel, finishes, and recoil control

Finishes are intentionally rugged: the spiral fluted barrel, trigger guard/receiver, and bolt components carry Graphite Black Cerakote for wear resistance in alpine conditions. Recoil is managed with an Accubrake and a 3DHE recoil pad, making magnum-class cartridges far more manageable when you’re carrying the rifle miles into the backcountry.

How it performs in the field

From a tactical perspective the High Country balances light carry weight with shootability. The vertical grip and reduced stock mass lower fatigue on long stalks and the dual swivel studs expand mounting options for bipods or harnesses. The Accubrake tames muzzle rise while the 3DHE pad soaks energy at the shoulder — a practical combination when you need fast follow-up or long-range, single-shot precision.
