Description

The .257 Weatherby Magnum was Roy Weatherby's personal favorite, and it's easy to see why. It sends bullets fast and flat, which makes range guessing a lot more forgiving on mule deer, pronghorn, and sheep country shots. Put that cartridge in a rifle that carries like a daypack instead of a boat anchor and you've got something special. That's the whole idea behind the Live Wild Carbon, the upgraded version of the Remi Warren collaboration rifle, rebuilt with premium carbon fiber where it saves the most weight.

Carbon Fiber That Earns Its Keep on the Live Wild Carbon

The 24 inch BSF carbon fiber barrel is the headliner here. Its match grade stainless core is wrapped so that roughly 95 percent of the carbon never contacts the steel, and those air gaps help the barrel shed heat faster between shots. The Peak 44 Bastion stock is one of the lightest aerospace grade carbon fiber stocks in production at around 24 ounces, with a comfortable vertical grip and a 3D-Hex recoil pad that soaks up a surprising amount of push. A 2 inch Accubrake ST comes installed from the factory, and between the brake and that pad, the .257 Wby is genuinely pleasant to shoot.

The Mark V Action Under the Mark V Live Wild Carbon

Underneath it all is the proven Mark V action with its short 54 degree bolt lift, which means faster follow ups and plenty of clearance for big scope bells. The bolt is fluted with gas ports for added safety, and the adjustable TriggerTech trigger breaks clean right out of the box. There are no sights, but the receiver is ready for the optic of your choice, and this rifle carries Weatherby's sub-MOA accuracy guarantee. Finished in Carbon Grey Cerakote with exposed carbon and black and grey sponge accents, it looks as purposeful as it performs. If your hunts involve more climbing than sitting, this one deserves a hard look.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does the Mark V Live Wild Carbon come with a muzzle brake?

Yes, it ships with Weatherby's 2 inch Accubrake ST installed from the factory. Between the brake and the 3D-Hex recoil pad on the Peak 44 stock, felt recoil from the .257 Weatherby Magnum is very manageable, even in a rifle this light.

What bullet weights work best with the 1:10 twist in this .257 Weatherby?

The 1:10 twist is the standard for the .257 Wby Mag and stabilizes the classic 90 to 120 grain hunting bullets that made this cartridge famous. That range covers everything from varmints to elk-capable loads like the 110 grain AccuBond or 115 grain TSX. It's the sweet spot the cartridge was designed around.

Is the Live Wild Carbon covered by Weatherby's accuracy guarantee?

It is. Weatherby backs Mark V rifles with a sub-MOA guarantee when using Weatherby factory or premium ammunition, and owners have reported this model meeting that standard with quality loads. The BSF carbon barrel and TriggerTech trigger do their part to make that repeatable.

Does this rifle come with sights or scope mounts?

No sights or rings are included. The receiver is set up to accept scope bases, so plan on picking up mounts and glass to complete the build. Given the flat trajectory of the .257 Wby Mag, a quality scope in the 3-15x or 4-16x range is a popular pairing.
