Building upon the established Backcountry platform, the Backcountry 2.0 Carbon integrates Weatherby’s widely recognized tensioned carbon fiber barrel with the robust Mark V steel action. This configuration delivers a lightweight, high-performance rifle engineered for demanding field conditions.
Key Features
Advanced Construction & Weight Reduction
At a verified 6.6 lbs, the Backcountry 2.0 Carbon achieves significant weight reduction primarily through the integration of the Peak 44 Blacktooth stock, recognized as the lightest production carbon fiber stock currently available. The rifle incorporates a tensioned carbon fiber barrel, which contributes to both weight optimization and consistent accuracy.
Precision Engineering & Action
The classic Weatherby Mark V action forms the foundation, renowned for its reliability and smooth operation. The bolt body features pronounced spiral fluting, designed to reduce bearing surface within the action for enhanced cycling efficiency and contributes to overall mass reduction. The bolt handle is equipped with a lightweight aluminum, extended, and skeletonized knob, optimizing manipulation.
Recoil Management System
Recoil reduction and overall shootability are optimized by the second-generation 3DHEX recoil pad. Further mitigating felt recoil, a titanium Accubrake ST is precision-blended to match the #4 carbon fiber barrel profile. This brake incorporates 30 symmetrically-spaced ports to effectively redirect muzzle gas, enhancing control even with magnum cartridges.
Integrated Durability & Finish
All metal components, including the action and barrel, receive a Patriot Brown Cerakote ceramic finish for enhanced durability, corrosion resistance, and environmental protection. The barrel and stock prominently display exposed carbon fiber elements, while the stock features a complementary brown and green pattern, designed for effective visual disruption in diverse field environments.
