The Weatherby Mark V Backcountry 2.0 represents a dedicated engineering effort to produce a premier lightweight bolt-action rifle for demanding mountain hunting scenarios. Designed from the ground up to minimize carry weight without compromising ballistic performance or structural integrity, this rifle provides a robust platform for precision shot placement in remote environments.
Key Features
Optimized Lightweight Construction
The integration of the Peak 44 Blacktooth carbon fiber stock is central to the Backcountry 2.0’s design. Weighing a mere 19 ounces, this stock significantly reduces the overall rifle weight, establishing it as one of the lightest production stocks available. This material selection ensures rigidity and consistent performance while critically enhancing portability for extended treks.
Recoil Mitigation System
Despite its reduced mass and chambering in potent magnum cartridges, the Backcountry 2.0 effectively manages recoil. It incorporates an Accubrake ST muzzle device, designed to redirect gasses and diminish felt recoil. This is further complemented by a 3D Hex Recoil pad, which disperses energy efficiently, allowing for faster follow-up shots and extended shooting comfort during range sessions or sustained hunting operations.
Precision Barrel Configuration
The 28-inch fluted barrel contributes to both weight reduction and enhanced cooling characteristics. Its Patriot Brown Cerakote finish provides a durable, corrosion-resistant protective layer, critical for long-term reliability in adverse weather conditions. The fluting optimizes barrel harmonics for consistent accuracy.
Mark V Action Reliability
Built upon the proven Weatherby Mark V action, this rifle delivers robust cycling and consistent lock-up. The Mark V platform is recognized for its strength, smooth operation, and precision, providing a reliable foundation for magnum cartridge performance.
