The Weatherby Mark V High Country is a bolt-action rifle chambered in .308 Winchester, built around a carbon fiber stock and Graphite Black Cerakote finish with Patriot Brown accents. At 5.7 lbs with a 22-inch barrel, it's light enough for serious backcountry carry without giving up the rigidity needed for consistent accuracy.

Detailed Features 

The carbon fiber stock reduces weight while adding stiffness that helps accuracy hold across temperature swings — a real advantage when shots come after a long approach. The threaded barrel (1/2x28) accepts muzzle brakes or suppressors without modification. Weatherby spec'd a TriggerTech trigger here, which has a clean, crisp break with minimal creep, a meaningful upgrade over factory triggers on many competitors at this price point. 
 
The Hex recoil pad absorbs felt recoil on .308 loads, which helps during zeroing sessions or high-round-count range work. The Cerakote finish gives good corrosion resistance in wet or humid hunting environments. 
 

Usage 

The .308 caliber covers deer, elk, and most North American big game effectively. The lightweight build and carbon stock make it a natural fit for hunters covering technical terrain. Competitive shooters who run precision rifle events will find the TriggerTech trigger and stiff stock useful for group consistency at distance.

The Weatherby Mark V High Country in .308 Win tends to draw strong appreciation for accuracy and build quality. Most owners report tight groups out of the box, and the carbon fiber stock gets consistent praise for keeping the rifle light without feeling flimsy.

The lightweight design is a recurring positive for hunters who cover long distances on foot. Recoil on .308 is generally described as manageable, allowing reasonable follow-up shot speed.

Critical feedback centers on a few areas. The price is the most common friction point — while many feel it's warranted given the components, others point to comparable rifles at lower cost. Some users note that weight distribution can feel front-heavy during long holds, which takes adjustment. Aftermarket accessory availability is more limited than for common platforms, which frustrates buyers who want to customize heavily. A few owners mention needing a break-in period before the action runs completely smoothly and groups tighten up.
