Weatherby Mark V Live Wild .308 Win 24-inch Rifle

Description

The Weatherby Mark V Live Wild is a special-edition bolt-action sporting rifle developed in collaboration with Remi Warren. Built on the Mark V action, it pairs a spiral-fluted, threaded 24-inch barrel with an Accubrake ST to control recoil and allow the use of muzzle devices. The rifle is fitted with an externally adjustable TriggerTech trigger and a carbon-fiber composite stock finished with a hand-painted black-and-gray sponge pattern. At roughly 5.6 pounds, the Live Wild model is intended to balance carrying weight and field-ready capability for a wide range of hunting and outdoor applications.
