The Weatherby Mark V High Country is a bolt-action rifle chambered in .300 PRC, built around a carbon fiber stock with Weatherby's Peak 44 Bastion camo pattern. At 6.80 lbs with a 26-inch threaded barrel, it is on the lighter end for a magnum-class rifle while still delivering the ballistic reach that .300 PRC provides.

Detailed Features 

The 26-inch barrel with a 1:10" twist rate is threaded at the muzzle, accepting suppressors or muzzle brakes without additional modification. The TriggerTech trigger has a short reset and crisp pull, which is an upgrade over standard factory triggers in its class. The three-position safety covers locked-bolt, safe-to-carry-loaded, and fire positions. 
 
The carbon fiber stock keeps the rifle at 6.8 lbs, which matters on long backcountry hunts where rifle weight accumulates. The Brown/Tan Cerakote finish on metal surfaces resists moisture and abrasion well. 
 

Usage 

This rifle is set up for hunters who cover ground in rugged terrain and need long-range capability. The .300 PRC cartridge handles large game — elk, moose, bear — at extended ranges, and the threaded barrel makes adding a suppressor practical. Competitive long-range shooters who want the Mark V action in a field-ready package will also find it capable.

User sentiment on the Mark V High Country is consistently positive. Accuracy is the most repeated strength — owners report tight groupings at long distances and credit both the TriggerTech trigger and the 26-inch barrel for the consistency. The rifle's weight comes up frequently as a genuine advantage for backcountry hunters who are on their feet all day.

Recoil management gets positive mentions despite the power of the .300 PRC. Most users find the rifle comfortable to shoot in extended sessions, which they attribute to the stock design and overall balance.

The .300 PRC cartridge's versatility for different game types is a common discussion point — users cite it for deer through elk-size animals and note its flat trajectory at distance.

Price is the main sticking point in reviews. The Mark V High Country sits at the higher end of the market, and opinions split between those who view it as fair for what they're getting and those who found comparable performance for less. Customization via the Mark V platform's aftermarket options softens that concern for users who plan to modify the rifle over time.

Overall, the Mark V High Country is well regarded among serious hunters and precision shooters who prioritize weight, accuracy, and field durability.
