Description
Left-handed hunters know the drill. Most premium rifles come in right-hand only, and the few lefty options tend to feel like an afterthought. Not this one. The Mark V High Country in .308 Winchester is a full-on Weatherby mountain rifle with a proper left-hand action, built around the same design philosophy that made the High Country line a favorite for backcountry hunts: shave the ounces, keep the accuracy.
Why the Mark V High Country Earns Its Pack Space
The weight savings start with the Peak 44 Bastion carbon fiber stock, which tips the scale at just 24 ounces. It has a comfortable vertical grip that puts your hand in a natural position behind the trigger, plus dual front swivel studs so you can run a sling and a bipod at the same time. The 22-inch spiral fluted barrel keeps things trim without giving up velocity, and it comes threaded 1/2×28 with Weatherby's Accubrake ST installed. Between the brake and the 3DHEX recoil pad, the already mild .308 shoots downright soft, which matters when you are catching your breath at the top of a ridge. The metalwork wears Graphite Black and Patriot Brown Cerakote over the fluted bolt and barreled action, and the exposed carbon fiber with brown sponge accents looks as good as it performs.
Shooting the Left-Hand Mark V in .308
The Mark V action is the heart of it all, with a fast 54-degree bolt lift that cycles quick and clears low-mounted scopes with room to spare. A TriggerTech adjustable trigger breaks clean and crisp right out of the box, and Weatherby backs the rifle with their sub-MOA accuracy guarantee using premium factory ammo. Capacity is 4+1 through a hinged floorplate, and the receiver comes drilled and tapped with no sights, ready for the glass of your choice. For deer, hogs, and black bear anywhere the trail gets steep, this is a hard rifle to beat from the left shoulder.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is the Mark V High Country left-hand model a true left-handed action?
Yes, this is a genuine left-hand Mark V action with the bolt handle and ejection port on the left side, not a right-hand rifle with a swapped stock. Everything about the rifle is set up to run naturally from the left shoulder, including the fast 54-degree bolt lift that makes cycling quick and smooth.
Does the Weatherby Mark V High Country come with a scope or sights?
No, the rifle ships without sights or optics. The receiver comes drilled and tapped, so you just need Mark V pattern bases or rings and the scope of your choice. The 54-degree bolt throw also gives you extra clearance for larger ocular bells and low mounting.
How does this rifle feed, and what is the capacity?
The Mark V High Country in .308 Win uses an internal magazine with a hinged floorplate rather than a detachable box magazine. Capacity is 4 rounds in the magazine plus 1 in the chamber, which is plenty for a hunting rifle and keeps the bottom metal snag-free for packing through brush.
Can I run a suppressor on the Mark V High Country?
The 22-inch barrel is threaded 1/2×28 and comes with the Accubrake ST installed, so you can remove the brake and attach a suppressor or mount that matches the thread pitch. Just note that 1/2×28 is a less common pitch for .30 caliber cans, so double check your suppressor's mounting options or plan on a thread adapter.
