The Weatherby Mark V High Country in 257 Wby with a 28" barrel is purpose-built for hunters who demand a lightweight, fast-handling rifle without compromise. At 5.7 lbs, this left-handed rifle splits the difference between packability and shootability—light enough to carry all day in alpine terrain, substantial enough to shoot accurately under field conditions. The 257 Weatherby Magnum cartridge delivers ballistics that close distance in thin air, making the High Country an excellent choice for western hunters pursuing game across open country and elevation changes.

The rifle's backbone is a Peak 44 Bastion carbon fiber stock that weighs just 24 oz, keeping the overall package svelte without resorting to ultra-thin ergonomics. The vertical grip is designed for actual shooting, not just hanging on the wall, and dual front swivel studs give you flexibility in how you rig it for the pack. The 28" spiral fluted barrel does double duty: the fluting reduces rotational inertia and weight while also enhancing heat dissipation during longer strings of fire. Weatherby's Accubrake system, paired with the 3DHEX recoil pad, manages the kick of the 257 Wby magnum surprisingly well—a real asset when you're glassing for hours and then need to make a solid shot.

Finish is Graphite Black Cerakote on the barrel, receiver, trigger guard, bolt, bolt knob, and safety—a durable, low-glare coating that doesn't broadcast your position. The stock showcases exposed carbon fiber with WYO brown and backpack sponge pattern accents, a nod to the terrain this rifle is meant to hunt. Left-handed operation is fully integrated, not an afterthought—the safety, bolt throw, and ejection are all correct for the southpaw shooter. This is the rifle you grab when the hunt demands lightweight performance and you need the cartridge to reach out on long, open shots.
