Weatherby MHC01N300WR8B MKV HIGH 26" 3+1 Rifle

The Weatherby MHC01N300WR8B MKV High Country 300 WBY is a purpose-built, lightweight precision rifle engineered for hunters and long-range shooters who demand minimal weight without sacrificing ballistic performance. Built on the Mark V platform—Weatherby's legendary action with a reputation spanning decades of field reliability—the High Country bridges the gap between tactical capability and mountain-country practicality. At 8.2 pounds, this rifle is designed for extended backcountry missions where every ounce matters, yet it delivers the stopping power and velocity that the 300 Weatherby Magnum cartridge is renowned for.

The High Country features a Peak 44 Bastion vertical grip carbon fiber stock weighing just 24 ounces, one of the lightest available in its class. This construction methodology—carbon fiber composite over traditional wood or synthetic—reduces reciprocating mass while maintaining structural rigidity and inherent accuracy. The vertical grip design enhances control and recoil management, particularly valuable when shooting the 300 WBY's robust recoil impulse from a lighter platform. The rifle's compact dimensions (49 inches overall) and balanced ergonomics make it ideal for navigating tight terrain and tree stands, while the Mark V action's tight tolerances ensure consistent shot placement from field positions where precision matters most.

This rifle is built for serious long-range hunters, precision shooters, and tactical marksmen who operate in challenging environments where weight reduction directly impacts mission success and physical endurance. The 300 Weatherby Magnum chambering delivers extended effective range—critical for open country hunts and engagements beyond 300 yards. The High Country accepts standard Weatherby Mark V accessories and modern tactical rail systems, allowing seamless integration with contemporary optics and support equipment. Whether for elk season, precision competition, or professional applications, the MKV High Country 300 WBY delivers the lightweight advantage without compromise.
