The limited-edition Live Wild variant is a collaboration with hunter Remi Warren, identified by a laser-etched wolf-head logo, “LIVE WILD” text, and Warren’s facsimile signature on the floorplate. Each rifle is part of a finite production run, adding collectability to its field credentials.
A 6-lug Mark V push-feed action with a 54° bolt lift delivers quick cycling while maintaining a strong lock-up. The spiral-fluted bolt body reduces weight and channels debris, and the skeletonized, removable bolt knob offers easy handling with gloves.
The 24-inch stainless barrel wears matching Carbon-Grey Cerakote for corrosion resistance. It is spiral-fluted to shed ounces and threaded 1/2-28 UNEF for the supplied Accubrake ST or other compatible devices, letting shooters tailor recoil and signature.
A TriggerTech Field trigger provides a crisp, externally adjustable pull, while the composite stock uses aluminum pillar bedding, textured grip panels, and a flat-bottom forend for stable shooting from packs or rests. Length of pull is set at 14 inches.
Weighing only 5.6 lb, the Live Wild meets Weatherby’s sub-MOA accuracy guarantee and feeds from a four-round hinged-floorplate magazine. The receiver is drilled and tapped in an 8-40 pattern for robust optic mounting.
