It is designed to provide consistent terminal performance and repeatable accuracy in varied environmental conditions.
Key Features
Mark V 9-Lug Action (Left Hand)
The core of the High Country is the legendary Weatherby Mark V 9-lug bolt action, renowned for its strength and reliability. The 9-lug design facilitates rapid, secure lock-up and is precisely machined for smooth operation. This specific variant is configured for left-handed shooters, ensuring ergonomic and intuitive manipulation of controls for optimal field performance. The 54-degree bolt throw allows for significant scope clearance and faster cycling.
AG Composite Carbon Fiber Stock
This rifle features an AG Composite Carbon Fiber stock, significantly reducing overall weight without compromising structural integrity or rigidity. The Monte Carlo style with a raised comb provides an optimized cheek weld for consistent eye alignment with optics. The stock is meticulously hand-laid for uniform construction, contributing to the rifle’s precision potential and mitigating felt recoil through its inherent damping properties.
Fluted Stainless Steel Barrel with Accubrake ST
A 26-inch fluted #2 Moderate Contour barrel, constructed from stainless steel, provides an optimal balance of rigidity and weight reduction. The fluting enhances heat dissipation during strings of fire and reduces overall mass. The barrel is finished with Patriot Brown Cerakote for superior corrosion resistance and a durable, non-reflective surface. An integrated Accubrake ST muzzle brake effectively mitigates recoil impulse and muzzle rise, facilitating faster target re-acquisition and shot-to-shot consistency.
Weatherby LXX Adjustable Trigger
The rifle incorporates the Weatherby LXX Trigger, a user-adjustable mechanism that allows for precise control over pull weight and crispness. This facilitates enhanced shot placement by minimizing shooter-induced errors, critical for precision engagements at extended ranges.
Precision Performance Guarantee
Backed by Weatherby’s 0.99-inch or less 3-shot group at 100 yards guarantee when used with Weatherby factory or premium ammunition, this rifle provides a quantifiable standard of accuracy.
