The Weatherby Mark V Live Wild represents a purpose-built bolt action rifle engineered for demanding field conditions and consistent performance. Its design integrates proven ergonomic principles with durable material science, ensuring reliability in varied environments.
Key Features
Ergonomics and Stock Design
Drawing from the established architecture of the Mark V Backcountry 2.0 series, the Live Wild features a robust polymer stock. This design incorporates a trim, flat-bottomed forend for stable support, complemented by ambidextrous palm swells that facilitate a consistent grip. Aluminum pillar construction reinforces the receiver interface, enhancing accuracy and structural integrity. The stock is finished with a hand-painted sponge pattern, an aesthetic detail inspired by Remi Warren’s Live Wild brand.
Precision Barrel System
This rifle is equipped with a 26-inch spiral fluted barrel, optimized for weight reduction and increased surface area for heat dissipation during sustained fire. The barrel is threaded 1/2-28 UNEF, enabling direct integration of suppressors. An Accubrake ST muzzle brake is factory-installed, engineered to significantly mitigate felt recoil and muzzle rise, thereby preserving target acquisition for follow-up shots.
Durable Action and Finish
The barreled action receives a Carbon Grey Cerakote finish, providing superior resistance against corrosion, abrasion, and chemical exposure. This protective layer is critical for maintaining operational integrity in harsh environmental conditions. The bolt is deeply fluted, a design choice that reduces its bearing surface within the action, minimizing friction and optimizing cycling smoothness. This fluting also contributes to a marginal reduction in overall system weight.
Trigger System
An externally adjustable TriggerTech trigger is integrated into the Live Wild platform. This high-performance trigger provides a crisp, predictable break, essential for precision shot placement. Users can adjust the pull weight within a practical range of 2.5 lbs to 5 lbs, allowing for personalization to shooter preference and application requirements.
Distinctive Branding
A custom hinged floorplate, engraved with the Live Wild logo, provides a distinct visual signature for this special edition rifle, reflecting its conceptual inspiration.
