The Weatherby Mark V Backcountry 2.0 is a lightweight, high-performance bolt-action rifle designed for demanding hunters and shooters. Featuring a durable steel Weatherby Mark V action, this rifle is built for precision and reliability in the field. Its super thin, lightweight fluted barrel, available in #1 MOD or #2 MOD depending on chambering, ensures excellent heat dissipation and reduces overall weight, making it ideal for backcountry adventures. The rifle's overall weight starts at just 5.2 pounds, providing a comfortable and manageable shooting experience for extended hunts.
The innovative carbon fiber Peak 44 Blacktooth stock underscores the rifle’s focus on weight reduction without sacrificing strength. Weighing under 20 ounces, this stock offers excellent durability and a sleek appearance with a brown and green pattern that complements the rifle’s dark green and brown finish. The rifle’s action and barrel are coated with Cerakote Patriot Brown, providing corrosion resistance and a rugged look. The 26-inch fluted barrel enhances accuracy and reduces weight, while the newly threaded bolt handle with a lightweight skeletonized aluminum knob promotes smooth operation.
A standout feature of the Backcountry 2.0 is the second-generation 3DHEX recoil pad. This first-of-its-kind 3D-printed pad incorporates interlocking voids that collapse during recoil, significantly dampening the sharpness of magnum chambering kicks and extending recoil impulse duration for more comfortable shooting. The rifle is equipped with Weatherby’s highly effective Accubrake ST, which features 30 symmetrically spaced ports to harness recoil, making even powerful magnum cartridges more manageable. The bolt’s pronounced spiral fluting reduces bearing surface and weight, contributing to smoother cycling and quicker handling.
Designed for right-handed shooters, the Backcountry 2.0 chambered in 300 Weatherby Magnum combines cutting-edge materials and engineering to deliver exceptional performance in a lightweight package. Whether stalking game in rugged terrain or engaging in precision shooting, this rifle offers a reliable platform with advanced recoil mitigation, superior ergonomics, and a striking aesthetic that blends functionality with style.
