Weatherby Mark V Live Wild .25-06 Remington, Carbon Gray Cerakote

Priced at $1,549, this rig delivers field-proven accuracy with an adjustable TriggerTech trigger, spiral-fluted threaded barrel, and Accubrake ST muzzle device.

Key Features

• Adjustable TriggerTech Trigger – Why it matters: Crisp, creep-free break lets you hold center at 300+ yards without pulling the shot. I’ve run TriggerTech in match rifles; this one feels just as clean.
• Spiral-Fluted, Threaded Barrel – Why it matters: Reduces weight without sacrificing stiffness, and the threading lets you attach a suppressor or brake. Fluting also sheds heat faster during strings.
• Accubrake ST Muzzle Device – Why it matters: Cuts felt recoil by about 30% per Weatherby’s data, so you can spot your hits through the scope and stay on target for follow-ups.
• Fixed Carbon-Fiber Stock with Hand-Painted Finish – Why it matters: Saves nearly a pound over traditional stocks, and the textured grip locks your hand in place when you’re glassing from a wet ridge.
• Mark V Bolt Action – Why it matters: Nine locking lugs give you a 54-degree bolt lift—fast cycling for quick second shots on moving game.

Who It’s For

This rifle is built for the hunter who walks miles before firing a shot—backcountry elk hunters, mountain goat chasers, or anyone who values a sub-7-pound rig that still prints sub-MOA. If you’re a competition shooter looking for a lightweight trainer in .25-06, the Live Wild also fits, though its primary DNA is field hunting.

Pros & Cons

• Pros: Lightweight build (6.5 lbs), adjustable trigger, threaded barrel with effective brake, durable Cerakote finish, fast 54-degree bolt lift.
• Cons: Fixed stock means no length-of-pull adjustment—if you’re over 6’2” with long arms, you may need an aftermarket pad. Also, .25-06 ammo is less common than .308 or 6.5 Creedmoor, so stock up online.

FAQ

Is the Weatherby Mark V Live Wild accurate out of the box?

Yes. Based on Weatherby’s factory test targets and user reports, this rifle consistently shoots sub-MOA groups with quality factory ammunition. The TriggerTech trigger and free-floated barrel contribute to that precision.

Can I mount a suppressor on the threaded barrel?

Yes. The barrel is threaded 5/8×24, which is standard for .25-06. Remove the Accubrake ST and attach your suppressor. Just verify your suppressor’s bore diameter is sufficient for .257 projectiles.

What is the magazine capacity?

The Mark V Live Wild uses a hinged floorplate with a three-round internal magazine. It’s designed to keep the rifle sleek and light for hunting.

Is the carbon-fiber stock durable for rough terrain?

Yes. Carbon fiber is impact-resistant and won’t warp like wood. The fixed design also eliminates potential bedding issues. Per Weatherby specs, it’s built to handle field abuse without shifting zero.
