The Weatherby Mark V Live Wild Carbon in 7mm PRC is a lightweight hunting rifle built for serious mountain hunters who refuse to compromise on capability. Developed in partnership with renowned hunter Remi Warren, this rifle strips away unnecessary weight while maintaining the legendary Mark V action's strength and reliability—giving you a rifle that climbs as hard as you do without leaving you gassed at altitude.
The Mark V Live Wild Carbon uses a BSF carbon fiber barrel paired with a Peak 44 carbon fiber stock, a combination that cuts weight significantly compared to traditional steel and wood while improving heat dissipation during extended shooting. The 7mm PRC cartridge delivers serious downrange energy for elk and other large game without the recoil of bigger magnums, making it a smart choice for hunters who value precision and efficiency in high country or long backcountry approaches.
The rifle's finish reflects its purpose: a spiral-fluted barrel in Carbon Grey Cerakote reduces weight further and speeds cooling between shots; the receiver and trigger guard wear the same durable grey, while the bolt, bolt knob, and safety get a contrasting Graphite Black. The Peak 44 Bastion stock showcases exposed carbon fiber with black and grey sponge-pattern accents—tactical without being silly. Every design choice on this rifle serves the hunter who measures success in miles gained and peaks summited.
If you spend your season above the treeline, pack your rifle to remote basins, or simply demand that your gear earn its place in your pack, the Mark V Live Wild Carbon in 7mm PRC is worth serious consideration.
