Keeping Traditions Alive Since 1953

Weatherby built the Mark V High Country for hunters who count ounces, and this .243 Win version might be the sweetest handling rifle in the whole lineup. At 5.7 pounds bare, it carries like a daypack essential instead of a boat anchor, thanks largely to the Peak 44 Bastion carbon fiber stock that tips the scales at just 24 ounces. The Bastion gives you a comfortable vertical grip and dual front swivel studs, so you can run a sling and a bipod at the same time without swapping hardware. The brown and tan camo finish over the stock pairs nicely with the Patriot Brown Cerakote on the receiver and spiral fluted barrel, and that Cerakote does real work protecting the metal from weather and trail abuse.
The heart of this rifle is the Mark V action, the same platform Weatherby has been refining since 1957. Its 54 degree bolt lift means fast cycling and plenty of clearance for big scope eyepieces, and the bolt handle is threaded so you can swap in an aftermarket knob if that's your thing. A TriggerTech trigger comes standard and breaks clean right out of the box, which matters a lot more than people think when you're steadying crosshairs on a distant buck. The 22 inch barrel wears a factory Accubrake ST, and combined with the 3DHEX recoil pad, this mild mannered .243 shoots about as soft as a rimfire.
Here's a detail worth noticing: the fast 1:7.5 twist rate. Most .243 barrels run a slower twist that limits you to lighter bullets, but this one stabilizes the heavy, high BC stuff that really shines at longer distances. That makes this rifle a legitimate dual threat for deer and antelope as well as coyotes and other varmints. It feeds from a 4+1 capacity, comes drilled and tapped for scope bases with no sights installed, and is backed by Weatherby's sub MOA accuracy guarantee with qualifying ammunition. If a lightweight mountain rifle in a soft shooting caliber is what you're after, this one checks every box.
Yes, and that's one of its standout features. The 1:7.5 twist rate is much faster than the 1:10 twist found on most .243 barrels, so it stabilizes heavy, high BC bullets in the 95 to 115 grain range. That opens the door to longer range work and better performance on deer sized game while still handling lighter varmint loads just fine.
It does. The 22 inch spiral fluted barrel is threaded and ships with Weatherby's Accubrake ST installed, which adds about 2 inches of length. Between the brake and the 3DHEX recoil pad, felt recoil on this .243 is extremely mild, which makes it a great pick for newer hunters or anyone who values fast follow up shots.
The receiver comes drilled and tapped, but no sights or bases are included, so you'll need to add scope bases or a rail plus rings. The 54 degree bolt lift on the Mark V action gives you extra clearance for larger scope eyepieces, so mounting a bigger optic is no problem.
This .243 Win configuration weighs 5.7 pounds before optics, which puts it firmly in lightweight mountain rifle territory. The Peak 44 Bastion carbon fiber stock weighs only 24 ounces and includes dual front swivel studs, so you can carry it with a sling and still run a bipod when it's time to settle in for a shot.
