Weatherby Mark V Live 22" Bolt-Action Rifle

The Weatherby Mark V Live 22" bolt-action rifle in 6.5 Creedmoor is engineered for precision hunters and tactical marksmen who demand reliability across extended ranges and variable field conditions. This rifle addresses the core requirement of accurate, repeatable shot placement—critical for both game and long-range target applications where wind drift and bullet drop demand a platform with inherent accuracy. The 22-inch barrel strikes a practical balance between velocity, handling, and portability, making it suitable for both open terrain and terrain where maneuverability matters.

Built on Weatherby's proven Mark V action, this rifle features a three-lug bolt design that provides secure lockup and repeatable headspace control—a fundamental requirement for sub-minute-of-angle (MOA) accuracy. The 6.5 Creedmoor cartridge delivers a ballistic coefficient and sectional density that excel at intermediate to long-range distances, with manageable recoil that supports follow-up accuracy. The 22-inch cold-hammer-forged barrel is optimized for velocity and consistency, while the rifle's total length of 44 inches ensures it remains maneuverable in vehicles and field environments without sacrificing sight radius for optic mounting.

This model appeals to precision rifle shooters, hunters pursuing medium to large game, and law enforcement or military professionals evaluating reliable precision platforms for training or operational use. The bolt-action design eliminates the complexity of semi-automatic systems while maintaining the speed necessary for tactical scenarios or rapid follow-up shots. Tactical accessory compatibility includes standard Picatinny rails for scope mounting, making integration with modern optics and support systems straightforward for users already invested in conventional tactical infrastructure.
