Description

Weatherby built the Mark V High Country for the kind of hunts where the truck is a distant memory and every ounce in your pack matters. Starting at 5.7 pounds bare, this rifle carries like a daypack essential instead of a burden, and the 6.5 Weatherby RPM chambering means you're not giving up reach or punch to get there. The RPM (Rebated Precision Magnum) was designed specifically around the trim 6-lug Mark V action, pushing 6.5mm bullets at genuine magnum velocities with a flat trajectory that makes cross-canyon shots a lot less stressful.

What Makes the High Country Worth the Climb

The Peak 44 Bastion carbon fiber stock weighs a mere 24 ounces and features a vertical grip that settles your hand naturally behind the trigger, plus dual front swivel studs so you can run a sling and bipod at the same time. Speaking of the trigger, it's a TriggerTech, one of the crispest breaks you'll find on a factory hunting rifle. The barreled action wears durable Cerakote to shrug off weather, and the receiver comes drilled and tapped so mounting glass is straightforward. The 24 inch barrel with a 1:8 twist stabilizes the heavy, high-BC 6.5mm bullets this cartridge was made for.

Recoil Management on a Featherweight 6.5 RPM

Light rifles in fast cartridges can be jumpy, and Weatherby addressed that head on. The factory Accubrake takes the sting out of the RPM, and the 3DHEX recoil pad soaks up what's left. The muzzle is threaded 1/2×28, so if you'd rather run a suppressor or a different device, you have options. The Mark V action itself brings the famous 54 degree bolt throw, giving you fast cycling and plenty of scope clearance.

With a 4+1 capacity and Weatherby's sub-MOA guarantee behind it, the High Country is the rifle you grab when the best bull or buck lives where the trail ends. Pair it with quality glass and 140 grain factory loads and it's ready for elk, mule deer, sheep, or anything else living above the timberline.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the 6.5 Weatherby RPM cartridge and how does it compare to 6.5 Creedmoor?

The 6.5 Weatherby RPM (Rebated Precision Magnum) is based on a lengthened .284 Winchester case with a rebated rim, designed to max out the slim 6-lug Mark V action. It pushes the same bullet weights noticeably faster than a 6.5 Creedmoor, typically several hundred feet per second, which flattens trajectory and adds downrange energy. Think of it as Creedmoor accuracy with real magnum legs, well suited to elk and mule deer at longer distances.

Does the Mark V High Country come with a scope or iron sights?

No, this rifle ships without sights or optics. The receiver comes drilled and tapped from the factory, so you can mount the scope base and glass of your choice. Given the flat-shooting nature of the 6.5 RPM, a quality variable scope in the 3-15x or 4-16x range is a popular pairing.

Can I run a suppressor on the Weatherby High Country in 6.5 RPM?

Yes. The 24 inch barrel is threaded 1/2×28 and comes with Weatherby's Accubrake installed, so you can swap the brake for a suppressor with the correct thread mount. Just keep in mind that removing the brake will change your point of impact slightly, so reconfirm your zero after swapping muzzle devices.

Is the Mark V High Country accurate enough for long range hunting?

Weatherby backs the Mark V line with a sub-MOA accuracy guarantee using their premium factory ammo, and the High Country has the ingredients to deliver it: a rigid carbon fiber stock, a crisp TriggerTech trigger, and a 1:8 twist barrel that stabilizes heavy high-BC bullets. With good glass and a steady rest, this setup is fully capable of ethical shots well beyond typical hunting distances.
