Mark V® Live Wild™ – 6.5 Weatherby RPM Caliber

The Mark V® Live Wild™ chambered in 6.5 Weatherby RPM is engineered for the discerning hunter who demands maximum lightweight performance without compromising on power, precision, and ballistic efficiency. The 6.5 Weatherby RPM (Rebated Precision Magnum) cartridge delivers exceptional ballistic performance in a rifle weighing just over 2.6 kg (approximately 5.8 lbs), making it the perfect choice for mountain stalking, challenging terrain hunts, or extended expeditions where every ounce counts. This rifle combines cutting-edge metallurgy and semi-metallic cartridge design to optimize velocity, energy retention, and terminal ballistics.

Key Features of the Mark V® Live Wild™ Model

  • Mark V® 6-Lug Bolt Action with 54° Bolt Lift: Provides a smooth, rapid, and secure cycling mechanism, essential for quick follow-up shots during stalking or rapid engagement scenarios in the field.
  • 24” Barrel with 1/2×28 Thread Pitch and Accubrake ST Muzzle Brake: This configuration significantly reduces felt recoil and muzzle rise, enabling precise shot placement and faster target reacquisition without losing sight of the quarry.
  • TriggerTech™ Adjustable Trigger: External adjustment range from 2.5 to 5 lbs allows the shooter to tailor trigger pull weight for optimal control, delivering a crisp, clean break with zero creep or overtravel.
  • Cerakote™ Finish: Carbon gray coating on the action and barrel paired with matte black on metal components ensures superior resistance against corrosion, abrasion, and extreme environmental conditions encountered in rugged hunting environments.
  • Peak 44™ Composite Stock: Ultra-lightweight and ergonomically designed with natural camouflage patterns, this stock enhances carry comfort and stability during long treks across uneven, mountainous terrain.
  • Sub-MOA Accuracy Guarantee: Factory-tested to deliver groups under 1 MOA at 100 yards using premium Weatherby ammunition, ensuring consistent precision for ethical long-range shots.

Practical Application in Hunting Scenarios

The 6.5 Weatherby RPM cartridge represents a modern ballistic solution combining high velocity, flat trajectory, and efficient energy transfer, making it ideal for medium-sized game such as at extended ranges. Its advanced semi-metallic case design and optimized powder charge deliver consistent muzzle velocities that maintain terminal effectiveness beyond 400 meters, all while producing moderate recoil conducive to rapid target reacquisition and sustained accuracy. This caliber is particularly suited for hunters operating in mountainous regions or those prioritizing a lightweight rifle platform without sacrificing ballistic performance or reliability.

Usage Recommendations and Maintenance Protocols

  1. Optics Selection: A compact, high-definition riflescope with a magnification range of 3–15x or 4–16x equipped with a ballistic reticle is recommended to maximize shot placement accuracy at varying distances.
  2. Muzzle Brake Maintenance: The Accubrake ST muzzle device reduces recoil by over 50%. Regular cleaning and torque verification after each hunting session ensure optimal performance and longevity.
  3. Trigger Adjustment: The externally adjustable TriggerTech™ trigger allows fine-tuning without disassembly, enabling customization for precision shooting or rapid-fire scenarios depending on hunting conditions.
  4. Barrel Cleaning: Utilize coated cleaning rods or bore guides to prevent barrel damage. Apply high-quality lubricants to the bolt and muzzle brake threads to maintain smooth operation and corrosion resistance.
  5. Storage Guidelines: Store the rifle in a dry, climate-controlled environment. Use breathable protective cases during transport to prevent moisture accumulation and preserve the integrity of the Cerakote™ finish and composite stock.
