The Weatherby Mark V Live Wild in 300 Weatherby Magnum delivers premium hunting performance with the signature Weatherby magnum power that has dominated long-range hunting for decades. This bolt-action rifle combines the proven Mark V action with modern aesthetics and field-ready durability for serious big game hunters.
What Makes This Different
The Mark V Live Wild features Weatherby's legendary nine-lug bolt design that distributes stress more evenly than traditional two-lug systems, resulting in a stronger, more precise action. The 300 Weatherby Magnum cartridge generates velocities exceeding 3,200 fps with 180-grain bullets, providing 25-30% more energy than standard .30-06 loads. The rifle's sub-MOA accuracy guarantee ensures consistent performance at extended ranges where magnum cartridges excel.
Key Features

Field performance centers on the cartridge's flat trajectory and retained energy at distance. The 300 Weatherby Magnum maintains over 2,000 ft-lbs of energy beyond 400 yards, making it effective for elk, moose, and other large game at extended ranges. The rifle's synthetic stock resists weather-related warping while the matte finish reduces glare during dawn and dusk hunting periods.
