Description
For the hunter who measures success in miles and pack weight in ounces, the Weatherby Mark V Live Wild .300 PRC is a serious tool. Built in collaboration with Remi Warren, this rifle starts with the legendary Mark V action and adds features that matter when you’re miles from the truck. The spiral-fluted, threaded barrel wears an Accubrake ST, and the hand-painted carbon-fiber stock keeps the weight down without sacrificing stability. Chambered in .300 PRC, it’s a practical backcountry rig that shoots flat and hits hard.

Key Features
- Spiral-Fluted, Threaded Barrel with Accubrake ST — Why it matters: Reduces recoil and muzzle rise, letting you spot your own hits and get back on target fast. Threaded for suppressor use, so you can run it quiet when the situation calls for it.
- Hand-Painted Carbon-Fiber Stock — Why it matters: Saves ounces over synthetic or wood stocks without giving up rigidity. The hand-painted finish adds a custom look that won’t glare in the sun.
- Externally Adjustable TriggerTech Trigger — Why it matters: You can dial pull weight from 2.5 to 5 pounds without tools. Crisp break and zero creep mean you’ll make clean shots on game.
- Cerakote Finish on Barrel and Action — Why it matters: Corrosion-resistant coating stands up to rain, sweat, and salt air. No rust spots when you’re packing out meat in wet conditions.
- Mark V Action with 54-Degree Bolt Lift — Why it matters: Short bolt throw lets you cycle rounds fast without taking your eye off the target. Magnum-capable action handles the .300 PRC’s pressure with ease.

This rifle is built for the backcountry hunter who covers ground all day and needs a rifle that can keep up. It’s for the guy who wants a .300 PRC in a lightweight package without giving up accuracy or reliability.

Pros and Cons
- Pro: Lightweight carbon-fiber stock makes it easy to carry on long hikes.
- Pro: Accubrake ST does a great job taming the .300 PRC’s recoil.
