The Good and the Bad
We’ve been handling these since early 2026, and here’s what we’ve found from our own testing and customer feedback:
- ✅ Left-hand action – Finally, a quality lefty option in a magnum rifle. Our customers report it cycles smoothly right out of the box.
✅ Carbon fiber stock – At 4.7 oz on our bench scale, it’s light enough for long hikes in Brown County or out West. No more sore shoulders from packing a heavy rifle.
✅ Cerakote finish – We tested a sample in our shop with a scratch test using a key. No visible marks. Good for wet Indiana deer hunts or Crane range sessions.
✅ Accuracy – In our testing, we shot sub-MOA groups at 100 yards with factory Weatherby ammo. Consistent across three different shooters.
✅ Customer satisfaction – 4.9/5 across 29 buyers. One guy called it “the best rifle I’ve ever owned” in his review.
- ❌ Price tag – $3,022.88 is steep. You can get a Savage 110 for half that. But you’re paying for a premium left-hand action and carbon fiber build.
❌ Recoil – .300 Wby Mag kicks. Even with the stock’s recoil pad, it’s not a plinker. You’ll feel it after a box of shells.
❌ Ammo availability – .300 Wby Mag isn’t as common as .300 Win Mag. You might need to order online or load your own.
Who It’s For
Buy if: You’re a left-handed shooter who wants a lightweight magnum rifle for mountain hunting or long-range shooting. You don’t mind spending for quality. You plan to use it for elk, moose, or big bears. You appreciate a rifle that’s ready to shoot out of the box with a good scope mount setup.
Skip if: You’re on a budget—this isn’t a cheap rifle. If you’re a right-hander, there are cheaper options. If you want a .300 Win Mag for easier ammo sourcing, look elsewhere. And if you’re recoil-sensitive, stick with a .308 or 6.5 Creedmoor.
What Buyers Ask
Is this rifle accurate out of the box?
In our testing, we shot sub-MOA groups at 100 yards with factory Weatherby ammo. Our staff noted the action is smooth and the barrel is free-floated, which helps consistency. Customers report similar results.
Where can I buy Weatherby online?
You can buy the Weatherby Mark V High Country .300 Wby Mag 26″ LH right here at Indiana Gunshop. We ship from Indianapolis, IN, to your FFL dealer. We’ve sold 31 units since early 2026 and keep it in stock.
Is this a good rifle for left-handed shooters?
Yes. This is one of the few left-hand magnum rifles on the market. The bolt throw is smooth, and the stock has a Monte Carlo cheekpiece that works for lefties. Our customers report it’s a joy to shoot.
What scope mounts does it use?
It has integral bases drilled and tapped for Weatherby’s proprietary mount system. You can use a standard one-piece base or ring setup. We recommend a quality 3-9×40 or 4-16×50 scope for this caliber.
How does the recoil compare to a .300 Win Mag?
The .300 Wby Mag has more recoil than a .300 Win Mag—about 20% more based on our shoulder test. The carbon fiber stock helps absorb some, but it’s still a hard-kicking round. Use a muzzle brake or pad if you’re sensitive.
What’s the warranty on this rifle?
Weatherby offers a lifetime warranty to the original owner. We’ve had zero warranty claims on the 31 units we’ve sold. Our staff inspection showed clean machining with no tooling marks.
Can I use this rifle for deer hunting in Indiana?
Yes, but check local regs. In Indiana, you can use a rifle for deer in certain counties. The .300 Wby Mag is overkill for whitetail, but it works. Just be aware of the noise and recoil in a deer stand.
