The Weatherby Mark V Live Wild 7mm Rem Mag Rifle is a factory-built precision tool that drops the hammer on long-range steel and game. Chambered in 7mm Remington Magnum, it rides on Weatherby’s proven multi-lug Mark V action, paired with a spiral-fluted barrel, threaded muzzle, and an externally adjustable TriggerTech trigger. This is a competition-ready rifle that doesn’t need a gunsmith to be competitive — it’s accurate, repeatable, and built for shooters who demand sub-MOA performance out of the box.

Key Features
- Multi-lug Mark V Action — WHY IT MATTERS: Nine locking lugs provide 54° bolt lift for fast, smooth cycling without binding, critical for split-second follow-ups in competition.
- Spiral-Fluted, Threaded Barrel — WHY IT MATTERS: Fluting reduces weight and dissipates heat faster; threading accepts brakes or suppressors, letting you tune recoil and muzzle rise for your match load.
- Accubrake ST Muzzle Brake — WHY IT MATTERS: Cuts felt recoil by up to 53% (per Weatherby specs), keeping you on target for rapid follow-up shots without torquing your position.
- Externally Adjustable TriggerTech Trigger — WHY IT MATTERS: Adjust pull weight from 2.5 to 5 lbs without removing the action, giving you a consistent, creep-free break that tightens groups at distance.
- Carbon Grey Cerakote + Live Wild Sponge Pattern — WHY IT MATTERS: Corrosion-resistant finish protects against sweat and weather; the hand-painted camo pattern reduces glare and blends with natural terrain on the clock.
Who It’s For
This rifle is built for the competitive shooter who wants a factory option that can hang with custom builds. If you shoot PRS, NRL Hunter, or long-range tactical matches and want a lightweight magnum that feeds reliably and prints consistent groups, the Live Wild is your rig. It also fits hunters who cross-train with competition gear — same platform, same accuracy, different targets.
Pros/Cons
- Pros: Sub-MOA guarantee out of the box; adjustable trigger without tools; threaded barrel for brakes or cans; lightweight for a magnum; Cerakote finish holds up to rough handling.
- Cons: Polymer stock feels less rigid than high-end chassis; 7mm Rem Mag generates more blast and recoil than 6.5 Creedmoor, so it’s less forgiving for new shooters in long strings.

FAQ
What is the twist rate of the Weatherby Mark V Live Wild 7mm Rem Mag rifle?
Per Weatherby specs, the barrel has a 1:9.5 twist rate, optimized for 140- to 168-grain bullets common in PRS and long-range loads.
Does the Accubrake ST reduce recoil enough for competition use?
Yes — Weatherby claims up to 53% recoil reduction. In practice, it drops the 7mm Rem Mag’s kick to near 6.5 Creedmoor levels, allowing faster sight recovery for split splits.
Can I mount a suppressor on this rifle?
Yes. The barrel is threaded 5/8×24, standard for .30-cal cans. Just remove the Accubrake ST and thread on your suppressor — no adapter needed.
Is the TriggerTech trigger user-adjustable without tools?
Yes. The external adjustment screw lets you dial pull weight from 2.5 to 5 lbs with a hex key, no action removal required.
