About this product
Weatherby Mark V Live Wild Rifle 6.5 WBY RPM RH
The Weatherby Mark V Live Wild Rifle 6.5 WBY RPM RH is a special-edition bolt action built with Remi Warren for serious backcountry and mountain hunting. It pairs Weatherby’s proven Mark V action with a lightweight, hand-painted stock and a spiral-fluted barrel, giving you a reliable rig for long days in steep country. This rifle is drilled and tapped for optics and comes with an Accubrake ST muzzle device, so you’re ready to shoot right out of the box.

Key Features
- TriggerTech Adjustable Trigger — Why it matters: You get a crisp, creep-free pull that you can tune to your preference, which helps you shoot more accurately in the field without second-guessing your trigger break.
- Spiral-Fluted Barrel and Bolt — Why it matters: The fluting reduces weight without sacrificing strength, so you can carry this rifle all day and still have a stiff barrel for consistent accuracy.
- Accubrake ST Muzzle Device — Why it matters: It cuts recoil noticeably, letting you spot your own hits and stay on target for follow-up shots, especially handy in a lightweight rifle chambered in a magnum cartridge.
- Hand-Painted Black-and-Gray Stock with Carbon Grey Cerakote — Why it matters: The durable finish resists scratches and weather, and the subtle camo pattern helps you blend into rocky or alpine terrain without adding extra weight.
Who It’s For
This rifle is built for the hunter who hikes miles into the backcountry and values every ounce saved. It’s also a great fit for someone new to magnum calibers who wants a manageable recoil package with the Accubrake, or for the shooter who appreciates a hand-finished, limited-edition build from a trusted American brand.
Pros and Cons
- Pro: Lightweight at about 6.5 lbs, easy to carry on long stalks.
- Pro: Adjustable TriggerTech trigger gives you a clean break down to around 2.5 lbs.
- Pro: Spiral fluting looks great and actually reduces weight.
- Con: The hand-painted stock finish can show wear faster than a molded-in color if you’re hard on gear — something to keep in mind if you’re a rough-and-tumble hunter.
