Weatherby Mark V High 20" Rifle

The Weatherby Mark V High Country 7mm Backcountry 20" rifle is purpose-built for hunters and precision shooters who demand a lightweight, compact platform capable of delivering ethical long-range performance in demanding alpine and backcountry terrain. This rifle represents the pinnacle of Weatherby's engineering philosophy: minimal weight without compromise on structural integrity or accuracy. Whether you're glassing high elevations for game or engaging targets at distance, the Mark V High Country's compact 20-inch barrel length reduces overall carry burden while maintaining the ballistic efficiency demanded by serious riflemen.

Weatherby's Mark V action is renowned among law enforcement and military circles for its controlled-round-feed mechanism and three-position safety, which provide reliable feeding and intuitive manipulation under pressure. The 7mm chambering delivers substantial downrange energy with moderate recoil management, making it effective for medium to large game at extended ranges. The 20-inch barrel strikes a critical balance—short enough to maneuver in tight timber and rocky outcrops, yet long enough to extract optimal velocity from the 7mm cartridge. The rifle's total length of 46.13 inches ensures rapid target acquisition and transition while maintaining the sight radius necessary for precision shooting. Weather-resistant construction and Weatherby's proprietary design standards ensure reliability across temperature extremes and harsh field conditions.

Backcountry hunters, mountain riflemen, and long-range precision shooters will appreciate the weight efficiency and compact profile without sacrificing the accuracy potential required for ethical shot placement. The Weatherby Mark V High Country 7mm Backcountry 20" rifle integrates seamlessly with modern optic mounts and aftermarket accessories. Due to its FFL classification, proper licensing and compliance procedures apply to purchase and ownership. This rifle rewards shooters who have mastered fundamentals and understand the discipline required for successful long-range fieldcraft.
