Key Features
Mark V Action System
At the core of the Live Wild is the Weatherby Mark V 6-lug bolt action, engineered for superior strength and cycling efficiency in standard calibers. This action features a short, crisp 54-degree bolt throw, facilitating rapid and smooth follow-up shots without significant disruption to target acquisition. The robust design ensures reliable lock-up and consistent cartridge feeding and extraction, critical for field performance.
Barrel Configuration and Precision
This rifle features a 22-inch fluted barrel, precisely machined to minimize weight while maintaining optimal rigidity and heat dissipation during extended firing sequences. The cold hammer-forged barrel is engineered for consistent bore concentricity and rifling, contributing directly to the rifle’s inherent accuracy. The muzzle is threaded (½-28 TPI, typically for 6.5CM), allowing for the secure attachment of suppressors or other muzzle devices, enabling sound signature management and recoil mitigation. The rifle is backed by Weatherby’s SUB-MOA accuracy guarantee when utilizing premium ammunition.
Ergonomics and Durability
The Mark V Live Wild is equipped with a tan synthetic stock, constructed from a high-strength composite material that provides a stable and ergonomic shooting platform. This stock is designed to withstand harsh environmental conditions without compromising structural integrity or shooter interface. The rifle’s metal components receive a durable bronze Cerakote finish, offering exceptional resistance to corrosion, abrasion, and chemical exposure, ensuring long-term operational integrity.
Trigger System
An adjustable LXX™ Trigger is factory-tuned to deliver a crisp, clean break, facilitating precise shot placement. The trigger’s adjustability allows for operator customization to achieve preferred pull weight, further enhancing accuracy potential.
