The original Live Wild rifle earned a loyal following among backcountry hunters, and this Carbon version takes that same Remi Warren collaboration and strips even more weight out of it. The 6.5 Weatherby RPM chambering rides in the classic Mark V action with its short 54 degree bolt lift, which means faster cycling and more scope clearance when you need a quick follow-up on a bull that won't stand still. Feeding from a 4+1 hinged floorplate with the Live Wild logo stamped on it, this rifle was built for the hunter who counts ounces on every climb.
The 24 inch barrel here is a BSF carbon fiber unit, and the way it's made is worth understanding. BSF starts with a 416R stainless match barrel, then sleeves it in carbon fiber loaded under tension rather than wrapping it. Most of the carbon never touches the steel, which creates air gaps that help the barrel shed heat instead of trapping it. The result is a stiff, fast-cooling barrel that holds its point of impact as it warms up. The muzzle comes threaded 5/8-24 with a brake installed, so swapping to a suppressor is a five minute job. A 1:8 twist stabilizes the long, high-BC 6.5mm bullets that make the RPM cartridge such a flat-shooting performer on deer, antelope, and elk.
Weatherby dropped this barreled action into a Peak 44 aerospace-grade carbon fiber stock, one of the lightest production stocks you can get, with a 3DHEX lattice recoil pad that takes real sting out of the shot. An externally adjustable TriggerTech trigger breaks clean anywhere from 2.5 to 5 pounds, and Cerakote coats the metalwork against weather and pack straps. The receiver comes drilled and tapped, ready for your glass. All of it is backed by Weatherby's sub-MOA accuracy guarantee, so you can spend less time wondering about your rifle and more time watching the wind.
The standard Live Wild uses a spiral fluted steel barrel and a polymer stock. The Carbon version upgrades to a BSF tension-sleeved carbon fiber barrel and a Peak 44 aerospace-grade carbon fiber stock with a 3DHEX recoil pad. You get a stiffer, faster-cooling barrel and less overall weight for long days in steep country.
Yes, with good bullets and sensible ranges. The 6.5 RPM pushes high-BC 6.5mm bullets fast enough to outrun 6.5 Creedmoor by a healthy margin, and it does it from a standard six-lug action with recoil most hunters find easy to manage. It has become a favorite for deer, antelope, and elk in open country.
You can. The muzzle is threaded 5/8-24, which is the most common thread pattern for 6.5mm and .30 caliber suppressors. Just remove the factory brake, check your can's mounting system, and you're set.
No, it ships without sights, which is typical for a long-range hunting rifle in this class. The receiver comes drilled and tapped from the factory, so mounting a base and rings is straightforward. Given the flat trajectory of the 6.5 RPM, it deserves quality glass to make the most of it.
