The Weatherby Mark V Live Wild Carbon in .280 Ackley Improved with a 24-inch barrel is a mountain hunter's rifle built for serious elevation gain and deep backcountry miles. Born from collaboration with seasoned hunter Remi Warren, this rifle strips weight without sacrificing the rugged reliability of Weatherby's legendary Mark V action—meaning you can climb harder and hunt longer without dragging unnecessary ounces up the ridge.
The heart of the weight savings comes from a BSF carbon fiber barrel paired with Weatherby's Peak 44 carbon fiber stock, a precision-engineered design that delivers maximum rigidity and minimal mass. The .280 Ackley Improved delivers serious velocity and downrange energy in a round that's easier on the shooter than heavier magnums, making it a smart choice for hunters who need power without excessive recoil on a long day in the field. The spiral-fluted barrel isn't just for looks—it aids heat dispersion during extended shooting sessions and contributes to the overall weight reduction.
Aesthetics matter when you're carrying a rifle for miles, and this Live Wild Carbon delivers. The finish work spans carbon grey Cerakote on the spiral-fluted barrel and receiver, with graphite black on the bolt, bolt knob, and safety for a professional, integrated look. The stock showcases exposed Peak 44 carbon fiber with black and grey sponge pattern accents—distinctive enough to spot in a gun rack, refined enough for any hunting situation.
This is the rifle for hunters who refuse to compromise between weight and performance, who understand that every ounce matters when the terrain gets steep, and who demand the precision and reliability that come from Weatherby's proven Mark V platform.

The .280 Ackley Improved is a high-velocity rifle cartridge that delivers serious downrange performance and energy for hunting. It offers excellent ballistics in a package that's more manageable in terms of recoil than heavier magnums, making it a practical choice for hunters who need power without excessive felt recoil.
We don't have the exact weight specification for this model, but carbon fiber barrels and stocks are designed specifically to reduce overall rifle weight significantly compared to traditional steel and wood configurations—a key feature for hunters who cover long distances on foot in mountainous terrain.
The Mark V Live Wild Carbon's .280 Ackley Improved chambering and 24-inch barrel are capable at extended ranges. For specific ballistic data and recommended shooting distances, we recommend consulting Weatherby's technical documentation or speaking with our team.
The Mark V Live Wild Carbon builds on the original Live Wild design with upgraded carbon fiber components—the BSF carbon fiber barrel and Peak 44 carbon fiber stock—for further weight reduction and improved heat management while maintaining the same proven Mark V action.
