Weatherby MHC01N300PR8B MKV HIGH 26" 3+1 Rifle

The Weatherby MHC01N300PR8B MKV High Country 300 PRC is a precision rifle engineered for hunters and long-range shooters who demand lightweight performance without compromise. Built on the proven Mark V platform and refined from the Backcountry 2.0 series, this rifle introduces a vertical grip carbon fiber stock that fundamentally changes how shooters interact with precision rifles in the field. The 300 PRC chambering delivers the ballistic performance serious hunters need for extended-range applications where wind deflection and energy retention matter.

At 8.3 pounds total, the High Country achieves this weight through a carefully integrated Peak 44 Bastion stock—a vertical grip platform constructed from carbon fiber that tips the scales at just 24 ounces. The vertical grip geometry reduces fatigue during extended shooting sessions and provides superior control when engaging targets from unconventional positions. The 300 PRC cartridge offers superior velocity and trajectory compared to traditional magnum rounds, with flatter arcs and reduced time-to-target drift at extended distances. Weatherby's manufacturing standards ensure consistent headspace and chamber concentricity for sub-MOA accuracy potential when paired with quality ammunition and optics.

This rifle serves backcountry hunters, precision rifle competitors, and long-range shooters who prioritize weight savings during extended pack-in hunts while refusing to sacrifice accuracy or reliability. The 49-inch overall length balances sight radius and maneuverability in brush and rocky terrain. Shooters upgrading from heavier magnums will immediately notice the reduced recoil impulse and sustained accuracy across multiple rounds—critical advantages during high-elevation hunts where breath control and steady positioning are challenging. The Mark V platform accepts standard Weatherby scope bases and rings, making optic integration straightforward for hunters planning 300-600 yard engagements.
