Description
There's a reason mountain hunters keep gravitating toward rifles like this one. The Weatherby Mark V High Country in 6.5 Creedmoor weighs in at just 5.7 pounds, and every ounce of that weight was earned somewhere. The Peak 44 Bastion stock is a 24 ounce aerospace-grade carbon fiber piece with a vertical grip that settles naturally into your hand, plus dual front swivel studs so you can run a sling and bipod at the same time. When you're five miles from the truck with an elk tag in your pocket, that kind of thinking matters.
Built on the Legendary Mark V Action
Underneath the carbon fiber, this is the classic steel Mark V action that Weatherby has hung its hat on for decades, with its famously short 54 degree bolt lift for fast follow-up shots. The bolt body is spiral fluted to trim weight and reduce bearing surface, which translates to a noticeably smoother cycle, and the threaded bolt handle wears a skeletonized knob. The 22 inch spiral fluted barrel comes threaded and fitted with Weatherby's Accubrake ST, a 30 port radial brake that takes the edge off recoil. Pair that with the 3DHEX recoil pad, which uses collapsing internal voids to spread the recoil impulse over time, and this mild-mannered 6.5 Creedmoor feels like almost nothing at the bench.
High Country Accuracy You Can Count On
The 1:8 twist barrel stabilizes the heavy, high-BC bullets that made the 6.5 Creedmoor famous, and Weatherby backs the rifle with their sub-MOA guarantee of a three shot group under an inch at 100 yards with quality factory ammo. A TriggerTech trigger with a true zero-creep break and external adjustability handles the fire control side. The receiver is drilled and tapped for scope bases, and the whole rifle wears a durable Graphite Black Cerakote finish over the metalwork with exposed carbon fiber and brown sponge pattern accents on the stock. Every Mark V is built in Sheridan, Wyoming, and this one carries that heritage into some seriously modern territory.

Frequently Asked Questions
Does the Weatherby Mark V High Country come with sights or a scope?
No, this rifle ships without sights or optics. The receiver is drilled and tapped for scope bases, so you'll want to pick up bases, rings, and glass separately. Given how capable this platform is, a quality scope is worth the investment.
Is the muzzle brake removable on the Mark V High Country?
Yes. The 22 inch spiral fluted barrel is threaded, and the Accubrake ST simply threads on. You can remove it and run a thread protector or a suppressor if you prefer, though the 30 port brake does a fine job keeping this 6.5 Creedmoor flat and soft shooting.
How accurate is the Mark V High Country in 6.5 Creedmoor?
Weatherby backs the Mark V with a sub-MOA accuracy guarantee, meaning a three shot group of .99 inch or less at 100 yards using premium factory ammunition. The 1:8 twist barrel handles the heavier 140 to 147 grain match and hunting bullets very well, and the externally adjustable TriggerTech trigger makes it easy to shoot up to its potential.
Does this rifle use a detachable magazine?
No, the High Country feeds from an internal magazine with a hinged floorplate, holding 4 rounds plus one in the chamber. It's a clean, snag-free setup that keeps weight down and means there's no box magazine to lose in the field.
