The Weatherby Mark V Backcountry 2 in .300 Weatherby Magnum, configured for left-hand shooters, represents a specialized high-performance bolt-action rifle engineered for demanding backcountry hunting scenarios. This rifle integrates advanced material science and precision manufacturing to deliver a robust, lightweight, and accurate platform capable of extreme range performance with magnum cartridges.
Key Features
Mark V Action System
The foundation of this rifle is the Weatherby Mark V 9-lug action, renowned for its exceptional strength and reliability. Engineered to manage the pressures of powerful magnum cartridges, the Mark V action provides consistent lock-up and smooth cycling. This specific variant is purpose-built for left-handed operators, ensuring intuitive and efficient manipulation in field conditions.
Carbon Fiber Barrel Construction
Utilizing a fluted, carbon fiber-wrapped steel barrel, the Backcountry 2 significantly mitigates overall weight without compromising rigidity or precision. This advanced barrel construction facilitates rapid heat dissipation, minimizing point-of-impact shift during extended firing sequences and maintaining accuracy in varied environmental conditions.
Peak 44 Blacktooth Carbon Fiber Stock
The rifle integrates a lightweight Peak 44 Blacktooth carbon fiber stock. This stock is meticulously designed to reduce mass while providing a stable, ergonomic platform for consistent shot placement. Its inherent strength and weather resistance ensure reliable performance across diverse extreme environments.
TriggerTech Mark V Trigger
A factory-installed TriggerTech Mark V trigger system provides a crisp, predictable break, enhancing user control and precision. This zero-creep design minimizes potential for shooter-induced error, contributing to tighter groups at distance.
Optimized for Left-Hand Operation
The entire rifle, from the Mark V action to the stock ergonomics, is configured specifically for left-handed shooters, ensuring natural and efficient bolt manipulation, safety operation, and overall handling without compromise.
Cerakote Finish
All metal components are treated with a durable Graphite Black Cerakote finish. This coating provides superior corrosion resistance, abrasion protection, and reduced reflectivity, critical for sustained performance in harsh outdoor environments.
