Weatherby MHC01N240WR6B Mark V High Country 240 Weatherby Mag 4+1 24" Graphite Black Cerakote Right Hand

The Weatherby Mark V High Country 240 Weatherby Mag is a lightweight, magnum-ready hunting rifle built for backcountry hunters who refuse to compromise on power or packability. Built on Weatherby's proven steel Mark V action, the High Country pairs a spiral-fluted, threaded barrel with a Peak 44 Bastion carbon fiber vertical grip stock—tipping the scales at just 24 ounces for the stock alone. This is serious weight savings for a rifle chambered in a full-power magnum, without sacrificing the strength or reliability hunters depend on in the field.

What sets the High Country apart is its attention to recoil management and heat control. The spiral fluting on both barrel and bolt body reduces weight and bearing surface in the action, smoothing out the firing cycle while helping dissipate heat during sustained shooting. The muzzle is fitted with Weatherby's Accubrake ST—a symmetrically-ported brake with 30 ports that tame the sharp recoil signature of magnum cartridges, making the 240 Weatherby Mag genuinely pleasant to shoot despite its ballistic authority. The rifle ships in Graphite Black Cerakote, a durable finish that stands up to the elements whether you're hunting at sea level or 10,000 feet.

The Bastion stock features dual front swivel studs for flexible attachment options and incorporates Weatherby's 3DHEX recoil pad—a clever design with interlocking voids that progressively collapse during recoil, extending the impulse and reducing felt kick. The skeletonized bolt handle further reduces weight where it matters. Chambered in 240 Weatherby Mag with a 24-inch barrel, 4+1 magazine capacity, and configured for right-hand shooters, the Mark V High Country is purpose-built for the hunter who measures success in miles covered and game taken, not pounds carried.
