Overview
The Weatherby Mark V Backcountry 2.0 in 7PRC is engineered for precision performance in demanding environments. This bolt-action rifle integrates a lightweight carbon fiber stock with a robust Mark V action, optimized for weight reduction without compromising structural integrity or accuracy. Designed for discerning hunters and precision shooters, the Backcountry 2.0 provides a reliable, sub-6.5 lb platform capable of consistent long-range engagement.
Key Features
Mark V Action System
At the core of the Backcountry 2.0 is the legendary Weatherby Mark V action, renowned for its exceptional strength and rapid lock time. The 6-lug configuration on standard calibers like the 7PRC ensures reliable operation and a secure breach. A 54-degree bolt throw facilitates rapid cycling, maintaining a low profile for optic clearance. The bolt is spiral-fluted to mitigate weight and reduce friction.
Carbon Fiber Stock Integration
The rifle incorporates a Peak 44 Blacktooth carbon fiber stock, strategically engineered for maximal weight reduction. This advanced composite material provides superior rigidity and environmental stability compared to traditional stock materials. The stock features an aluminum bedding block to ensure a consistent, stress-free interface between the action and the stock, critical for maintaining precision.
Precision Barrel & Muzzle Device
A fluted stainless steel barrel, finished with Patriot Brown Cerakote, reduces overall weight while dissipating heat efficiently during sustained firing. The barrel features a 1:8″ twist rate, optimized for stabilizing modern 7mm projectiles, particularly those in the 7PRC cartridge. Integrated with the barrel is the Accubrake ST muzzle device, designed to significantly mitigate felt recoil and muzzle rise, allowing for faster follow-up shot acquisition and improved shooter comfort.
TriggerTech Trigger System
Equipped with a user-adjustable TriggerTech Mark V trigger, the Backcountry 2.0 delivers a crisp, consistent break. This precision trigger system eliminates creep and overtravel, contributing directly to enhanced shot placement and shooter confidence. Adjustment allows tailoring to individual preferences for a precise firing sequence.
Durability & Finish
Both the barreled action and muzzle brake are coated with Weatherby’s Patriot Brown Cerakote. This ceramic-based finish provides superior resistance to abrasion, corrosion, and chemical exposure, ensuring the rifle maintains its operational integrity and aesthetic under harsh field conditions.
Manufacturer’s Performance Guarantee
Backed by the manufacturer’s guarantee of sub-MOA performance, the Mark V Backcountry 2.0 is certified to achieve .99-inch or less 3-shot groups at 100 yards when utilizing Weatherby or premium ammunition. This specification confirms the rifle’s inherent mechanical precision.
