Weatherby Mark V Backcountry 2.0: Optimized for Mountain Environments
KFF Defense presents the Weatherby Mark V Backcountry 2.0, a precision-engineered bolt action rifle purpose-built for demanding mountain hunting scenarios. This rifle’s design prioritizes significant weight reduction and advanced recoil mitigation without compromising structural integrity or ballistic performance, making it a reliable instrument for extended field operations.
Key Features
Lightweight Construction
The Mark V Backcountry 2.0 integrates a Peak 44 Blacktooth carbon fiber stock, weighing only 19 ounces. This substantial weight reduction enhances maneuverability and minimizes shooter fatigue during strenuous climbs and extended treks, optimizing the rifle for backcountry carry.
Recoil Mitigation System
To manage the recoil characteristics inherent to magnum cartridges, the rifle is equipped with an Accubrake ST muzzle device and a 3D Hex Recoil Pad. This integrated system effectively dissipates energy, improving shooter comfort and facilitating quicker follow-up shot acquisition, even under adverse conditions.
Precision Barrel Configuration
The rifle features a 28-inch fluted barrel, finished with Patriot Brown Cerakote for enhanced durability and corrosion resistance. The fluting design not only contributes to the overall weight reduction but also aids in barrel cooling during successive engagements, maintaining consistent ballistic performance.
