The Weatherby Mark V Backcountry 2.0 is a high-performance bolt-action rifle designed for serious hunters and precision shooters. Building upon the proven reliability of the Mark V platform, this model features a lightweight, super-thin fluted barrel that enhances maneuverability and reduces weight without sacrificing durability. The barrel is contoured at a #1 or #2 MOD depending on the chambering, providing optimal balance and accuracy for long-range shooting. The rifle's construction incorporates a rugged Weatherby steel action with spiral fluting on the bolt body, which not only trims weight but also ensures smoother operation by reducing bearing surface and friction. The newly threaded bolt handle with a lightweight, skeletonized aluminum knob offers enhanced grip and quick handling.
The standout feature is the carbon fiber Peak 44 Blacktooth stock, which is among the lightest on the market, tipping the scales at under 20 ounces. Its camouflage pattern of brown and green over exposed carbon fiber allows for effective concealment in various terrains. The rifle’s finish is protected by a durable Patriot Brown Cerakote coating on the action and barrel, providing corrosion resistance and a sleek appearance.
For recoil management, the Backcountry 2.0 is equipped with the innovative second-generation 3DHEX recoil pad, featuring interlocking voids that collapse during recoil to extend the impulse duration and significantly reduce felt recoil. Complemented by Weatherby’s Accubrake ST, with 30 symmetrically spaced ports, this brake effectively harnesses recoil energy, making even magnum chamberings more comfortable to shoot. This rifle is chambered in 300 Weatherby Magnum and has a 26-inch fluted barrel, offering excellent velocity and ballistic performance. With a capacity of 3 rounds and a right-hand orientation, the Weatherby Mark V Backcountry 2.0 is built for precision, lightweight handling, and durability in the field, making it an ideal choice for demanding outdoor pursuits.
