Weatherby Mark V Live Wild | .300 PRC | 28″

The Weatherby Mark V Live Wild is a bolt-action rifle chambered in .300 PRC designed for lightweight, long-range field use. It pairs a multi-lug Mark V action and a spiral-fluted, threaded barrel with a carbon-fiber reinforced stock finished in a grey/black sponge pattern. For a capable optic under $1,000 that suits the Live Wild’s long-range potential, consider a Vortex Viper HS-T 4-16×44 (commonly available under $1,000).

Applications: backcountry big-game hunting and precision long-range hunting where a durable, lightweight rifle and an adjustable precision optic are priorities.
