Wby Mkv Hi Country 280ai 24" 4rd

The Weatherby Mark V High Country in 280 Ackley Improved is a precision bolt-action rifle engineered for long-range hunting and tactical applications where weight savings and accuracy matter equally. Built on Weatherby's proven Mark V action, this rifle delivers the velocity and ballistic performance of the 280 AI cartridge in a lightweight platform optimized for pack-in hunts, mountainous terrain, and field engagements where every ounce counts.

The 24-inch spiral-fluted barrel in a #1 contour profile reduces overall weight while maintaining rigidity for consistent accuracy. The barrel is threaded 1/2-28 and topped with an Accubrake ST muzzle brake, providing recoil management and compatible mounting for suppressors. A 1:9-inch twist rate stabilizes a broad range of 280 AI projectiles, from lightweight varmint rounds to heavy match-grade hunting ammunition. The deep-fluted bolt reduces rotational mass without sacrificing strength, improving cycling speed and felt recoil. Cerakote graphite black finish protects against corrosion in harsh field conditions and weather exposure.

The Peak 44 Bastion carbon fiber stock eliminates unnecessary weight while providing rigid support and a functional aesthetic. Exposed carbon fiber with brown sponge patterns allows for custom refinishing or coating if needed for specific environments. The TriggerTech adjustable trigger delivers a clean, predictable break suitable for both precision work and field conditions. The 3DHEX recoil pad absorbs impact energy, reducing fatigue on longer shooting sessions. With a 4-round capacity, this rifle is configured for practical hunting scenarios and tactical use where magazine changes are anticipated.

This configuration targets precision hunters, long-range shooters, and operators who demand a lightweight, accurate rifle platform. The 280 Ackley Improved cartridge offers velocity comparable to 7mm magnums with less recoil and powder consumption, making it efficient for extended field use. The threaded barrel and integrated muzzle brake compatibility support suppressor mounting for sound signature reduction, critical in tactical and multi-shooter scenarios. The Mark V High Country 280 AI is purpose-built for shooters unwilling to compromise on accuracy or weight.
