The Weatherby Mark V Live Wild is a bolt-action rifle chambered in 6.5 Creedmoor, finished in Black Camo Cerakote. At 5.70 lbs it's one of the lighter Mark V configurations, which matters when you're carrying it over rough terrain. The 22-inch barrel is scope-ready with no iron sights.

Features 

 
The Mark V action is a well-established design — 54-degree bolt lift and a coned breech give it a solid lockup. The 22-inch barrel in 6.5 Creedmoor works well for most hunting distances and keeps weight down. TriggerTech's trigger provides a cleaner break than a standard factory trigger. The Black Camo Cerakote is both a visual choice and a practical one — it's a durable, corrosion-resistant finish that holds up in the field. 
 
At 5.70 lbs, it's noticeably light for a Mark V. That aids carry but does make recoil slightly more felt compared to heavier configurations. A recoil pad and a good optic setup will offset that. 
 

Who It's For 

 
A good fit for hunters who want a capable 6.5 Creedmoor with the Mark V's proven action in a light package. The caliber is well-suited for deer-sized game at moderate to long range. Not a dedicated precision competition rig, but accurate enough for most practical purposes.

Feedback on the Weatherby Mark V in 6.5 Creedmoor Black Camo centers on a few consistent themes.

Accuracy gets the most consistent praise. Owners report good precision across practical hunting distances, which is expected from a well-fitted bolt action in a cartridge as inherently accurate as 6.5 Creedmoor. The TriggerTech trigger is specifically called out — it's a step above a typical factory trigger and helps shooters get clean breaks.

The 5.70 lb weight gets discussed from both sides. Those who hike in to their hunting spots appreciate it; those who shoot longer range sessions mention the recoil is more noticeable than it would be in a heavier rifle. That's physics, not a defect, and most people seem to accept the trade-off.

Build quality and materials get generally positive comments. The Black Camo Cerakote finish draws appreciation both aesthetically and for its durability.

Price is a recurring point. Weatherby Mark V rifles are priced toward the higher end, and whether that's justified depends on what the buyer values. People already sold on the Mark V platform generally find it reasonable; others comparison-shopping against budget alternatives are less convinced.

Customization comes up frequently — many owners add optics and occasionally aftermarket stocks. Weatherby's customer service gets mixed reports, with some positive warranty experiences and a few less smooth ones.
