Weatherby announces two new rifles to their line of flat shooting, hard hitting hunting rifles. Starting at just 5.7lbs the Mark V High Country builds on the popular Backcountry™ 2.0, offering an ultra-light hunting rifle that is easy to carry and deadly accurate. The High Country features Peak 44’s™ newest carbon fiber stock, the Bastion. Weighing just 24 oz, the carbon fiber Bastion stock features a more vertical grip and dual front swivel studs for multiple attachments. It’s 3D HEX® recoil pad greatly reduces felt recoil and paired with an Accubrake™ the High Country can tame even the biggest magnum calibers.
New Mark V’s utilize an adjustable TriggerTech single-stage trigger for a short and crisp trigger pull. The High Country sports a lightweight #2 barrel that is spiral fluted to reduce weight and help aid in heat dispersion. The barrel is threaded 1/2x28tpi and includes a thread protector and Accubrake muzzle brake. The spiral fluted bolt utilizes Weatherby’s historic 54 degree bolt throw for quick reloading. The High Country is finished with durable Cerakote® and a custom hand painted sponge pattern. Mark V rifles are proudly built in the Weatherby headquarters in Sheridan, Wyoming. MSRP $2,699.
The Vanguard Outfitter is built on Weatherby’s classic Vanguard action, offering an integral recoil lug, match quality two-stage trigger, 3-Position safety, and cold hammer forged barrel. Featuring a Monte Carlo stock with custom paint job the Outfitter brings some flare to the Vanguard lineup. The cerakoted barrel is spiral fluted and capped with a Weatherby Accubrake. Both of these new rifles are backed by Weatherby’s Sub-MOA guarantee. MSRP $999.
