There's a short list of rifles worth hauling up a mountain, and the Weatherby Mark V High Country in .300 PRC belongs on it. Weatherby built this one around the Peak 44 Bastion carbon fiber stock, a vertical grip design that tips the scale at 24 ounces, one of the lightest vertical grip stocks you can get. The whole rifle comes in at 6.8 pounds, and that number matters a lot more on day four of an elk hunt than it does in the safe. Dual front swivel studs let you run a bipod and a sling at the same time, and the 3DHEX recoil pad uses a lattice of collapsing voids to stretch out the recoil impulse, which takes real sting out of a magnum cartridge.
The .300 PRC was designed from the ground up for heavy, high BC bullets, and the 26 inch spiral fluted barrel with its 1:10 twist gives those bullets the velocity and stability they were meant for. The muzzle is threaded and wears Weatherby's Accubrake ST, which does a noticeable job of flattening recoil and muzzle rise. Underneath it all is the classic nine lug Mark V action with its 54 degree bolt lift, the shortest throw in the business, so your hand clears the scope and follow up shots come quick. A fluted bolt body reduces bearing surface for a smoother cycle, and the threaded bolt handle carries a skeletonized knob you can swap if you like.
A TriggerTech trigger breaks clean and crisp right out of the box, and Graphite Black Cerakote covers the metalwork to shrug off weather and pack straps. The receiver comes drilled and tapped, capacity is 3+1, and the exposed carbon stock with brown and tan accents looks as good as it carries. Like every Mark V, it's backed by Weatherby's sub-MOA accuracy guarantee, so the weight you save doesn't cost you anything downrange.
This configuration weighs 6.8 pounds bare, before you add optics and a sling. The magnum chamberings run a bit heavier than the short action versions of the High Country, but 6.8 pounds is still remarkably light for a 26 inch barreled .300 PRC. Figure a scoped setup somewhere in the 8 to 8.5 pound range depending on your glass and rings.
No, it ships without sights, which is typical for a rifle in this class. The receiver comes drilled and tapped from the factory, so you can mount bases or a rail and set it up with the optic of your choice. Given what the .300 PRC can do at distance, most folks pair it with quality long range glass.
Better than you'd expect from the weight. The factory installed Accubrake ST knocks down a big chunk of the recoil and muzzle rise, and the 3DHEX recoil pad uses interlocking internal voids that collapse progressively during recoil to spread the impulse over more time. The combination makes a lightweight magnum genuinely comfortable to shoot from field positions.
Yes, Weatherby backs Mark V rifles with a sub-MOA guarantee when using Weatherby factory or premium quality ammunition. The cold hammer forged barrel and crisp TriggerTech trigger give it the hardware to deliver on that. As with any precision rifle, a proper break in and finding the load your barrel likes will get you the best groups.
