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.
