Design and platform

The WEATHERBY MARK V LIVE WILD brings Weatherby’s signature Mark V action to a lightweight package suitable for long glass-and-pack days. Built on a multi-lug bolt system, the action offers concentrated lock-up and proven strength while keeping bolt throw smooth for rapid, confident cycling. As a Bolt Action rifle, it bridges the gap between field carryability and repeatable accuracy.

Barrel, muzzle and recoil management

This model includes a spiral-fluted barrel engineered for weight savings and heat dissipation. The barrel is suppressor-compatible and fitted with the Accubrake ST — an effective muzzle device that reduces felt recoil and helps maintain sight picture for faster follow-up shots. Those features make the rifle equally at home on extended hunts and precision engagements where muzzle control matters.

Finish, ergonomics and stock work

Weatherby finished the rifle in Carbon Grey Cerakote to resist the elements and abrasion encountered in harsh field conditions. The hand-painted stock and ergonomic enhancements create a comfortable, stable grip for steady shooting from packs, rests, or improvised supports. Attention to detail in bedding and fit helps the platform deliver consistent groups even when carried hard.
