Weatherby Mark V Live 26" Rifle

The Weatherby Mark V Live Wild CF 65-300 26" is a premium long-range hunting rifle engineered for demanding shooters who refuse to compromise on accuracy, reliability, or field performance. Chambered in the potent 6.5-300 Weatherby Magnum—a cartridge renowned for exceptional velocity and ballistic coefficient—this rifle delivers the precision and knockdown power required for medium to large game at extended distances. Built on Weatherby's proven Mark V action platform, it represents three generations of refinement trusted by professional guides, competitive shooters, and serious hunters alike.

The 26-inch barrel maximizes velocity and dwell time, extracting optimal performance from the 6.5-300 WBY Mag's high-pressure envelope while maintaining a manageable package in thick cover. The carbon grey Cerakote finish provides superior corrosion resistance and durability in harsh field conditions—critical in high-humidity or alpine environments where traditional bluing fails. The integrated carbon fiber composite stock reduces overall weight without sacrificing rigidity, enabling all-day pack comfort and stable field shooting positions. A 3+1 round capacity balances firepower with weight, while the receiver is drilled and tapped for modern optic mounting, supporting contemporary long-range glass systems.

This rifle is ideal for hunters pursuing elk, moose, and other large game in open to semi-open terrain where 300+ yard shots are routine. Professional outfitters and long-range competition shooters gravitate toward the Mark V platform for its sub-MOA accuracy potential and legendary reliability in remote locations. The 6.5-300 chambering pairs excellently with modern match-grade ammunition—expect consistent velocity nodes and predictable wind deflection at distance. The no-sights configuration assumes use of premium optics; mounting a quality 3-15x or 4-20x variable scope will fully realize the rifle's inherent accuracy and range capability.
