Key Features
Weatherby Mark V Action
The foundation of this rifle is the robust Weatherby Mark V action, designed to handle the pressures of high-performance magnum cartridges. Its multi-lug bolt system provides a secure, consistent lockup within the receiver, optimizing stability during firing. This design prioritizes safety, reliability, and precision, facilitating rapid cycling for follow-up shots while maintaining structural integrity under duress.
Ballistic Performance: 6.5 Weatherby Magnum
Chambered in 6.5 Weatherby Magnum, this rifle leverages a high-velocity, flat-shooting cartridge known for its exceptional downrange energy retention and minimal bullet drop. The 6.5 WBY Mag is purpose-built for extended engagement distances, delivering superior terminal performance for large game and enabling precise shot placement in varying environmental conditions.
Precision Barrel
A 24-inch barrel, typically cold hammer-forged, is meticulously integrated to optimize the ballistic potential of the 6.5 Weatherby Magnum cartridge. This length facilitates complete powder burn for maximizing velocity while contributing to shot-to-shot consistency. The barrel’s manufacturing process ensures precise bore dimensions and concentricity, directly enhancing overall accuracy and mitigating shot dispersion.
Ergonomic Stock System
The Live Wild model features a durable synthetic stock, designed to withstand harsh operational environments. This stock system incorporates an ergonomic profile for secure handling and consistent shooter interface, which is critical for maintaining sight picture and managing recoil effectively. Its composition minimizes weight while maximizing resistance to moisture, abrasion, and temperature fluctuations.
Adjustable Trigger System
Equipped with an advanced, user-adjustable trigger, the Weatherby Mark V Live Wild permits precise tuning of pull weight. This feature enables shooters to fine-tune the trigger according to their preferences, promoting a clean, crisp break that directly contributes to shot execution precision and mitigates shooter-induced errors.
Durability and Finish
All external metal components are treated with a durable, weather-resistant finish. This protective coating provides enhanced corrosion resistance and reduces glare, ensuring the rifle maintains operational integrity and a subdued profile in diverse field conditions.
Accuracy Guarantee
This rifle is backed by Weatherby’s Sub-MOA accuracy guarantee, ensuring that when used with Weatherby factory or premium ammunition, it will achieve 3-shot groups of .99″ or less at 100 yards. This guarantee underscores the rifle’s inherent precision and manufacturing consistency.
