The Weatherby Mark V High Country is a bolt-action rifle built around the 6.5-300 WBY Mag cartridge, which delivers flat trajectories and strong energy retention at long range. The 26-inch barrel helps wring out the most from the cartridge, and the black camo finish offers reasonable concealment in field conditions.

  At 5.7 lbs., this is a genuinely light rifle for its caliber class, which matters on all-day backcountry hunts. The smooth bolt throw allows quick follow-up shots. The 6.5-300 WBY Mag isn't the easiest cartridge to find at a small-town hardware store, but for hunters targeting elk or similar big game at extended distances, the ballistic performance is hard to argue with.

Owners of the Mark V High Country in 6.5-300 generally have good things to say about its accuracy and long-range capability. The 6.5-300 cartridge gets consistent praise for its flat trajectory, and Weatherby's bolt action and overall fit and finish are well-regarded. The black camo finish also comes up favorably for field use.

The main criticisms cluster around a few practical points: recoil is stout enough that some shooters find extended range sessions uncomfortable, the price is high compared to many competing bolt rifles, and 6.5-300 WBY Mag ammunition can be genuinely hard to source locally. Those issues are real, but most owners who went in with clear expectations seem satisfied with what the rifle actually does.
