Mark V® Live Wild™ – .240 WBY MAG Caliber

The Mark V® Live Wild™ chambered in .240 WBY MAG represents an elite hunting rifle meticulously engineered in collaboration with renowned hunter Remi Warren. Built upon the legendary Mark V® action platform, this rifle delivers unparalleled durability and pinpoint accuracy while maintaining an ultra-lightweight profile of just 5.8 lbs (~2.63 kg). This makes it exceptionally suited for hunters traversing rugged terrain over extended distances, where both reliability and weight savings are critical.

Key Technical Features

  • Spiral-fluted bolt and bolt shroud: engineered to reduce overall weight while enhancing smooth cycling and rapid bolt manipulation during reloads.
  • Cerakote Carbon Grey and Graphite Black finish: applied to the action, bolt, and forend to provide superior corrosion resistance and protection against harsh environmental conditions encountered in field use.
  • Accubrake ST muzzle brake (1/2×28 thread): expertly designed to mitigate recoil by up to 53%, delivering a softer, more controlled shot impulse for improved follow-up shot accuracy.
  • Adjustable TriggerTech trigger system (2.5–5 lbs): offers a crisp, clean break with a short, consistent pull that can be finely tuned without disassembly, optimizing trigger performance for precision shooting and safe handling.
  • Mark V® action specifications: features a 26-inch barrel (24-inch barrel length plus 2-inch muzzle brake), a robust 9-lug bolt design, and a short 54° bolt throw angle to facilitate rapid cycling and efficient reloads under hunting conditions.
  • Sub-MOA accuracy guarantee: assures shooters sub-minute of angle precision, consistently delivering groups under 0.99 inches at 100 yards when paired with Weatherby premium ammunition during the first two years of ownership.

Operational Guidelines and Maintenance Procedures

  1. Optics and muzzle brake installation: Always torque optics mounts and muzzle brake to manufacturer’s recommended specifications. The .240 WBY MAG typically requires medium barrel torque; refer to the user manual for exact values.
  2. Trigger adjustment: With the safety engaged, use the external adjustment screw to set trigger pull weight between 2.5 and 5 lbs, tailoring the trigger to your shooting preference without disassembly.
  3. Bolt and barrel cleaning: After each hunting session, disassemble the bolt by removing the bolt shroud, clean all components with specialized lubricants designed for metallic and semi-metallic parts, and ensure spiral flutes are free of debris to maintain smooth cycling.
  4. Cerakote finish care: Clean the coated surfaces gently with a damp cloth; avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners that could compromise the protective finish.
  5. Torque verification: Regularly inspect and re-torque the muzzle brake and mounted accessories after intensive use to maintain structural integrity and safety.
  6. Storage recommendations: Store the rifle in a dry environment; apply a light film of corrosion-inhibiting lubricant if storing in humid conditions to prevent oxidation and preserve metal surfaces.

Hunting Applications

Optimally designed for medium-sized game such as mountain goats, roe deer, and wild boar, the Mark V® Live Wild™ in .240 WBY MAG combines lightweight maneuverability with the ballistic performance necessary for extended-range shots. The effective recoil reduction provided by the Accubrake ST muzzle brake enables precise shot placement and quick follow-up shots, making it an ideal companion for hunters requiring both endurance and stopping power in challenging environments.
