The Weatherby Mark V High Country in 6.5-300 Wby is a mountain-focused bolt-action rifle engineered for hunters who pack deep into wilderness where every ounce matters. Built on the proven Mark V platform and topped with a 28" barrel, this rifle combines genuine lightweight construction—starting at 5.7 lbs—with the ballistic muscle of Weatherby's magnum cartridge lineup. It's the tool for alpine hunts where you'll cover serious vertical and horizontal distance on foot, or for long-range range work where you need a magnum that doesn't punish your shoulders or your pack.
The High Country's weight savings come from smart engineering, not compromise. Peak 44's Bastion carbon fiber stock tips the scales at just 24 oz and retains shooter-friendly ergonomics: a vertical grip that points naturally, and dual front swivel studs for flexible sling or attachment options. The spiral-fluted barrel doesn't just look purposeful—it sheds weight without sacrificing rigidity. Combined with an Accubrake and 3DHEX recoil pad, even the potent 6.5-300 Wby magnum stays manageable in the field, whether you're shooting off a pack or a rest.
Finish work matches the intent: graphite black Cerakote on the barrel, receiver, trigger guard, bolt, bolt knob, and safety provides corrosion resistance in alpine weather. The Bastion stock's exposed carbon fiber is finished with WYO brown and a backpack sponge pattern—practical and handsome. This is a rifle you'll actually *want* to carry uphill, and the ballistic reach of the 6.5-300 Wby means you're not sacrificing effective range for weight savings.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is the Mark V High Country suitable for long-range hunting?
Yes. The 6.5-300 Wby magnum is a potent long-range cartridge, and the 28" barrel allows the round to perform at extended distances. The rifle's lightweight construction and recoil management make it practical for extended hunts where you'll cover significant ground at elevation.
Will the Accubrake and 3DHEX pad really reduce recoil from a magnum rifle?
The Accubrake and 3DHEX recoil pad work together to manage felt recoil. While no muzzle brake or pad eliminates recoil entirely, this combination is designed to keep the 6.5-300 Wby magnum manageable, especially during field shooting where accuracy matters.
Can I attach a sling or other gear to this rifle?
Yes. The Bastion stock features dual front swivel studs, giving you multiple attachment points for slings, bipods, and other accessories without limiting your options.
