Description
The original Live Wild rifle came out of Weatherby's partnership with Remi Warren, and it earned a loyal following among backcountry hunters for good reason. The Live Wild Carbon takes that same recipe and trims it down further. A BSF carbon fiber barrel replaces the steel tube, and a Peak 44 carbon fiber stock rounds out the package, so you get a .300 Win Mag that carries like a much smaller rifle when you're climbing into that last basin before daylight.
Why the Live Wild Carbon's Barrel Is Different
BSF does carbon barrels their own way. Instead of wrapping fiber tight against the steel, they sleeve a match-grade 416R stainless blank inside a carbon jacket loaded under tension, leaving air gaps so roughly 95 percent of the carbon never touches the barrel itself. That means heat escapes instead of getting trapped, and the barrel stays stiff and consistent as you run through a string of shots. The 22 inch barrel is threaded 1/2×28 and wears Weatherby's Accubrake ST from the factory, which takes real bite out of .300 Win Mag recoil. The Peak 44 stock adds a 3DHEX recoil pad that soaks up even more, so this rifle is far more pleasant behind the trigger than its weight suggests.
A Mark V Action You Can Count On
Underneath it all sits the Mark V action with its famous 54 degree bolt throw, the shortest in the business, which keeps your hand clear of the scope and makes follow-up shots quick. The fluted bolt cycles smooth, the hinged floorplate carries the Live Wild logo, and the TriggerTech trigger adjusts externally from 2.5 to 5 pounds with a clean, zero-creep break. Carbon Gray Cerakote seals the receiver and trigger guard against weather, and the receiver comes drilled and tapped for your optic of choice. Every Mark V is backed by Weatherby's Sub-MOA guarantee with factory or premium ammo, so the accuracy is on paper, not just in the marketing. For an elk, mule deer, or all-around western big game rifle, this one checks about every box a serious hunter could ask for.

Frequently Asked Questions
How is the Live Wild Carbon different from the standard Mark V Live Wild?
The core rifle is the same Remi Warren collaboration, but the Carbon version swaps in a BSF carbon fiber barrel and a Peak 44 carbon fiber stock. The result is less weight to haul and better heat dispersion during longer shot strings. You still get the Mark V action, TriggerTech trigger, and Accubrake ST that made the original popular.
Does the Weatherby Live Wild Carbon come with a scope or sights?
No, it ships without sights. The receiver comes drilled and tapped from the factory, so you just need to pick up a base and rings for your optic. Given what a .300 Win Mag is capable of at distance, a quality scope is worth budgeting for.
Is the barrel suppressor ready?
Yes. The muzzle is threaded 1/2×28, and the Accubrake ST spins off so you can mount a suppressor or another muzzle device. Running the brake makes a noticeable difference taming .300 Win Mag recoil if you go that route instead.
How accurate is the Mark V Live Wild Carbon?
Weatherby guarantees every Mark V will print a 3-shot group of .99 inch or better at 100 yards from a cold barrel with Weatherby factory or premium ammunition. The BSF barrel design helps here too, since its tensioned carbon sleeve keeps the barrel rigid as it heats up. Pair it with ammo your rifle likes and it will hold its own well past typical hunting distances.
