The Weatherby Mark V BC Guide in .280 Ackley Improved is engineered for demanding backcountry environments, integrating robust construction with critical precision for consistent field performance. This bolt action rifle prioritizes weight reduction and durability without compromising shot consistency.
Key Features
Optimized for Backcountry Performance
The BC Guide variant is purpose-built for extended treks and rigorous conditions. It features a lightweight carbon fiber composite stock, often incorporating an ergonomic design for secure handling in adverse weather. The overall architecture focuses on mitigating carry fatigue while maintaining structural integrity required for precise shot execution.
Precision Engineering
At its core, the Mark V action, known for its robust one-piece bolt and secure locking lugs (typically 6-lug for standard calibers like the .280 Ackley Improved), provides a stable and reliable platform. The 22-inch fluted barrel is free-floated to optimize harmonic consistency, contributing to repeatable accuracy across various conditions. The barrel is threaded for the integration of muzzle devices, and often includes a recoil attenuator to manage felt recoil from the potent .280 Ackley Improved cartridge. An adjustable Match Quality trigger facilitates precise shot placement.
Enhanced Durability
Critical components receive a corrosion-resistant finish, such as Cerakote, to withstand harsh environmental exposure. The stock’s composite construction is impervious to moisture and temperature fluctuations, ensuring consistent fit and function from alpine to desert conditions.
