Description

Weatherby teamed up with Remi Warren on the Mark V Live Wild, and it shows in the details. Remi spends more days in the mountains each year than most of us get in a decade, and he wanted a rifle built on the Mark V action that could handle everything from timber mule deer to open-country antelope without weighing him down. Starting around 5.6 pounds, this one hits that mark, and the 6.5 Creedmoor chambering keeps recoil mild while still reaching out plenty far for most Western hunting.

What Makes the Live Wild Different

The barreled action wears Carbon Grey Cerakote to shrug off weather, while the deeply fluted bolt, bolt knob, and safety get Graphite Black for a sharp two-tone look. The spiral fluted 22 inch barrel is threaded 1/2×28 and ships with Weatherby's Accubrake ST, which cuts felt recoil dramatically, or pull it off and run a suppressor. The externally adjustable TriggerTech trigger breaks clean with zero creep and tunes from 2.5 to 5 pounds without pulling the stock. Add the skeletonized bolt knob and the hinged floorplate stamped with the Live Wild logo, and this is a rifle with real personality, right down to the hand-painted black and grey sponge pattern on the stock. No two look exactly alike.

Mark V Live Wild Field Performance

The Mark V action has earned its reputation since 1958, and the short 54 degree bolt lift gives you fast cycling and extra knuckle clearance under big scopes. The stock borrows its shape from the Backcountry 2.0 line with a trim, flat-bottomed forend and ambidextrous palm swells that settle naturally over a pack or shooting sticks. The fluted bolt trims weight and reduces bearing surface, so the action runs smooth even when things get dusty. The receiver comes drilled and tapped for your optic of choice, capacity is 4+1, and the 1:8 twist stabilizes the heavy, high-BC 6.5 Creedmoor bullets everyone loads these days. Every Mark V carries Weatherby's sub-MOA guarantee with factory or premium ammo, so the accuracy is backed on paper, not just promised.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does the Mark V Live Wild come with a scope or iron sights?

No, it ships without sights. The receiver comes drilled and tapped from the factory, so you just need rings or a base to mount the optic of your choice. Given the sub-MOA guarantee, it deserves quality glass.

Can I run a suppressor on the Live Wild in 6.5 Creedmoor?

Yes. The spiral fluted barrel is threaded 1/2×28, and the Accubrake ST simply unscrews so you can attach a suppressor directly. That threading is a common pattern, though you may want a thread adapter depending on your can.

Is the Weatherby Mark V Live Wild accurate enough for long range hunting?

It should be. Weatherby guarantees every Mark V will print a 3-shot group of .99 inch or better at 100 yards from a cold barrel with factory or premium ammo. The 1:8 twist also handles the heavier high-BC 6.5 Creedmoor bullets that hold up well at distance.

How heavy is this rifle for backpack hunting?

The 6.5 Creedmoor version runs right around 5.6 pounds bare, which is genuinely light for a steel-action rifle. Even with a scope, rings, and sling you can keep a full setup in the 7 to 8 pound range, easy to carry on multi-day mountain hunts.
