Overview
The Weatherby Mark V Backcountry 2.0 rifle is engineered for the demands of high-country hunting. This platform integrates advanced material science with precision manufacturing, delivering a lightweight, durable, and highly accurate bolt-action system. Its design specifically addresses the need for minimized carry weight without compromising ballistic performance or structural integrity in challenging environments.
Key Features
Optimized Weight Reduction
The core of the Backcountry 2.0’s design philosophy is weight optimization. It integrates a Peak 44 Blacktooth carbon fiber stock, weighing a verified 19 ounces. This contributes significantly to its low overall carry weight, a critical factor for extended field operations and mountain traverses. The stock’s construction provides structural rigidity, ensuring consistent lockup and energy transfer.
Recoil Mitigation System
To manage the recoil characteristics inherent to magnum cartridges, the Backcountry 2.0 incorporates Weatherby’s Accubrake ST muzzle brake, designed to significantly reduce felt recoil and muzzle rise. This system is further complemented by a 3D Hex Recoil Pad, which effectively dissipates recoil energy into the shooter’s shoulder, facilitating faster follow-up shots and improved shooter comfort during extended range sessions or hunting scenarios.
Precision Barrel & Finish
The rifle features a 28-inch fluted barrel, precision-machined for optimal harmonic dampening and consistent projectile velocity. The fluting reduces weight and enhances heat dissipation without compromising rigidity. The barrel and receiver are finished with Patriot Brown Cerakote, a durable ceramic-based coating that provides superior resistance to abrasion, corrosion, and chemical exposure, ensuring reliability in diverse environmental conditions.
