The Weatherby Mark V High Country in 7MM PRC is engineered for the demands of high-altitude hunting and extended backcountry treks. Weighing from a mere 5.7 lbs, this bolt-action rifle delivers a critical balance of reduced carry weight and uncompromised field performance.
Key Features
Lightweight Construction
Central to the High Country’s design is the Peak 44 Bastion carbon fiber stock, weighing only 24 ounces. This material selection significantly reduces the rifle’s overall mass, directly addressing the need for portability without sacrificing structural integrity. The stock’s robust composition ensures consistent handling and shot placement under varied environmental conditions.
Recoil Mitigation System
Despite its low mass, the Mark V High Country effectively manages recoil, even with magnum cartridges such as the 7MM PRC. This is achieved through the integration of an Accubrake muzzle device and the 3DHEX Recoil Pad. This combination demonstrably reduces felt recoil, allowing for faster follow-up shots and extended shooting sessions with maintained comfort and control.
Ergonomics and Field Utility
The Peak 44 Bastion stock incorporates a shooter-friendly vertical grip, optimizing natural wrist angle for enhanced control and consistent trigger engagement. Dual front swivel studs facilitate the attachment of bipods and slings concurrently, providing versatile configuration options for diverse field scenarios.
