The Weatherby Mark V High Country in 6.5 Weatherby RPM, configured for the left-handed shooter, is engineered for unforgiving mountain and open-country environments. This rifle integrates the renowned Mark V action with purpose-built components, meticulously selected to deliver consistent precision and robust reliability in extreme conditions.
Key Features
Mark V® Action
The heart of this rifle is the legendary Weatherby Mark V 9-lug bolt action, recognized for its unparalleled strength, rapid bolt throw, and inherent safety. This left-hand configuration provides a natural, unhindered operation for southpaw shooters, ensuring swift cycling and reliable feeding under pressure. The integral recoil lug enhances structural rigidity, contributing directly to consistent accuracy.
Barrel Design and Performance
Precision is paramount. This Mark V High Country features a 26-inch cold hammer-forged, fluted barrel, meticulously optimized for the 6.5 Weatherby RPM cartridge. The fluting reduces overall weight while increasing surface area for efficient heat dissipation during sustained firing. The muzzle is threaded and equipped with an Accubrake ST, engineered to mitigate felt recoil and muzzle rise, allowing for rapid follow-up shot acquisition and enhanced shooter comfort.
Stock and Ergonomics
The rifle is outfitted with a lightweight, rigid carbon fiber composite stock, designed to withstand the rigors of high-country hunting without compromising performance. Its ergonomic profile, featuring a Monte Carlo comb, ensures a consistent and comfortable cheek weld, critical for precision shot placement across varied shooting positions. The stock’s material properties contribute significantly to the rifle’s manageable carry weight.
Cerakote Finish and Durability
Both the barreled action and muzzle brake receive a durable Cerakote finish. This advanced ceramic coating provides superior corrosion resistance, abrasion protection, and chemical resistance, safeguarding the rifle’s critical components from the elements encountered in harsh outdoor environments. This treatment ensures long-term operational integrity and aesthetic retention.
Precision Guarantee
Backed by Weatherby’s Sub-MOA guarantee, this rifle is certified to produce a .99-inch or less 3-shot group at 100 yards when utilizing Weatherby or premium ammunition. This guarantee of performance underscores the Mark V High Country’s manufacturing precision and inherent accuracy potential.
