Product Overview
The Weatherby Mark V Backcountry 2 chambered in 270 Weatherby Magnum, configured for left-hand shooters, represents a specialized tool for demanding long-range engagements and backcountry hunting scenarios. This rifle integrates advanced materials and precision manufacturing to deliver a lightweight, durable, and highly accurate platform capable of performing in harsh conditions. Its design prioritizes reduced mass without compromising structural integrity or ballistic consistency, aligning with the operational requirements of experienced users.
Key Features
Mark V Action
The rifle incorporates the legendary Weatherby Mark V 9-lug action, optimized for strength and rapid cycling. This action design provides a secure lock-up, enhancing both safety and intrinsic accuracy. The left-hand orientation ensures ergonomic operation for southpaw shooters, facilitating consistent follow-up shots and maintaining target acquisition.
Lightweight Carbon Fiber Construction
To mitigate overall system weight, the Backcountry 2 features an AG Composite carbon fiber stock. This material selection significantly reduces the rifle’s carry weight, improving maneuverability and reducing fatigue during extended field operations. The stock design maintains rigidity to ensure consistent barrel harmonics and mitigate flex under load.
Precision Barrel System
A fluted, stainless steel barrel contributes to weight reduction while increasing surface area for enhanced heat dissipation. The barrel is finished with a durable Cerakote coating for superior corrosion and abrasion resistance. It is factory threaded 1/2-28 UNEF, enabling the direct attachment of muzzle brakes or sound suppressors to manage recoil and reduce signature, without requiring aftermarket modification.
LXX Adjustable Trigger
Equipped with Weatherby’s LXX Trigger, this system allows for user-adjustable pull weight, enabling precise tuning for individual preference. This adjustability facilitates optimal trigger control, a critical factor in maximizing shot placement accuracy, particularly at extended ranges.
Durable Surface Finish
The receiver and barrel feature a robust Cerakote finish, providing an additional layer of protection against environmental stressors such as moisture, abrasion, and chemical exposure. This finish enhances the rifle’s operational longevity and maintains its aesthetic integrity in rugged use.
Performance Guarantee
The Weatherby Mark V Backcountry 2 is backed by the manufacturer’s SUB-MOA accuracy guarantee, ensuring a demonstrated capability to achieve groups of .99″ or less at 100 yards with premium ammunition. This guarantee reflects the inherent precision engineered into every Mark V rifle.
