Weatherby Mark V High Country 7mm PRC 26" Left-Handed Rifle

The Weatherby Mark V High Country 7mm PRC left-handed rifle is engineered for hunters who cover serious ground in alpine terrain. Tipping the scales at just 5.7 pounds, this lightweight mountain rifle doesn't sacrifice capability for packability—a critical advantage when every ounce matters on a multi-day hunt at elevation. The 26-inch barrel in 7mm PRC gives you the velocity and energy you need for long-range shots in open country, while the left-hand action keeps you naturally pointed and ready.

Built on Weatherby's reputation for precision magnum performance, the Mark V High Country pairs a spiral-fluted barrel with Peak 44's Bastion carbon fiber stock—a 24-ounce component that cuts weight without compromising rigidity or shooter control. The vertical pistol grip is intuitive in variable terrain, and dual front swivel studs let you run the attachment system that works best for your setup, whether that's a traditional sling or modern quick-detach mounts. Everything is finished in tactical graphite black Cerakote except the stock, where exposed carbon fiber meets WYO brown and backpack sponge pattern accents—functional aesthetics that look at home in the mountains.

Recoil management matters, especially in a lightweight rifle chambered for a potent cartridge. Weatherby equipped the High Country with an Accubrake and 3DHEX recoil pad to tame muzzle rise and felt recoil, making follow-up shots faster and more accurate in the field. This is a purpose-built rifle for hunters serious about reaching the remote corners of high country—the kind of places where weight, reliability, and precision all factor into success.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is the Mark V High Country suitable for long-range mountain hunting?

Yes. The 7mm PRC chambering and 26-inch barrel provide the velocity and ballistic performance needed for extended-range shots in open terrain. The lightweight design makes it practical for reaching distant hunting areas, while the Accubrake and recoil pad help maintain accuracy on follow-up shots even in a light rifle.

Why is a carbon fiber stock important on a mountain rifle?

Carbon fiber construction reduces overall weight significantly—the Bastion stock weighs just 24 ounces—without losing the rigidity needed for consistent accuracy. In a mountain rifle, shaving ounces across the entire platform makes a real difference during long days at elevation.

Can I use different sling attachments on the High Country?

Yes. The Mark V High Country features dual front swivel studs on the stock, giving you the flexibility to run traditional swivel studs, quick-detach mounts, or other attachment systems based on your preference.

What does the spiral-fluted barrel do?

Spiral fluting reduces barrel weight while maintaining structural integrity, helping keep the rifle's overall weight low. The fluting also improves heat dissipation from the barrel, which can be beneficial during extended shooting sessions.
