The Weatherby Mark V Live Wild Carbon in 257 Weatherby Magnum with a 26-inch barrel is a lightweight, long-range hunting rifle built for hunters who demand performance at elevation and distance. Developed in collaboration with renowned hunter Remi Warren, this rifle combines the time-proven Mark V action with modern carbon fiber construction to deliver a fast-handling mountain gun that doesn't sacrifice precision or durability.
Weight savings matter when you're covering miles of rough terrain, and the Live Wild Carbon delivers. A BSF carbon fiber barrel reduces overall heft while improving heat dispersion—critical for sustained accuracy during the push to find game in high country. The matched Peak 44 carbon fiber stock is engineered for rigidity and minimal weight, so you're carrying less but losing nothing in structural integrity or shooter control.
Aesthetics meet function in the finish work. The barrel and receiver wear a Carbon Grey Cerakote, while the bolt, bolt knob, and safety are finished in Graphite Black. The stock's exposed Peak 44 carbon fiber is accented with black and grey sponge pattern details—a look that's as purposeful as it is distinctive. This is a rifle that looks built for hard use, because it is.
The 257 Weatherby Magnum delivers flat trajectories and retained energy out to extended range, making it a solid choice for Western hunting where distance and wind are part of the equation. If you're shopping for a carbon fiber mountain rifle that doesn't cut corners on action quality or barrel performance, the Mark V Live Wild Carbon is worth a hard look.

This rifle pairs Weatherby's Mark V action—renowned for controlled feed and reliability—with a BSF carbon fiber barrel and Peak 44 carbon fiber stock. That combination of proven action, quality barrel, and premium stock construction is what sets it apart. It's built on a design refined by professional hunter Remi Warren for serious mountain hunting.
Is the 257 Weatherby Magnum a good caliber for long-range hunting?

Why does barrel material matter in a hunting rifle?
Carbon fiber barrels like the BSF on this rifle shed weight without sacrificing accuracy or durability.
