Weatherby Mark V Backcountry 2.0 Bolt Action Rifle, 300 Weatherby Magnum

Weatherby Mark V Backcountry 2.0

The Weatherby Mark V Backcountry 2.0 represents the next evolution in lightweight hunting rifles, setting a new standard for performance and innovation. Retaining the classic steel action of its predecessor, this rifle offers modern enhancements that appeal to both seasoned hunters and enthusiasts seeking cutting-edge technology.

At its core is a super thin, lightweight fluted barrel available in #1 MOD or #2 MOD contouring based on chambering needs. The most striking update is the Peak 44 Blacktooth stock—a marvel of carbon fiber engineering—ensuring some models weigh less than 20 ounces while maintaining robust durability.

An industry first, the second-generation 3DHEX recoil pad showcases pioneering design with interlocking voids that collapse during recoil. This mechanism effectively mitigates felt recoil by extending its impulse over time, making even magnum cartridges more manageable.

Further refinement comes from pronounced spiral fluting on the bolt body which not only sheds unnecessary weight but also enhances operational smoothness by reducing bearing surface contact within the action. Coupled with a newly-threaded bolt handle featuring an extended skeletonized aluminum knob, every aspect of handling has been meticulously considered.

The integration of Weatherby's Accubrake ST further tames aggressive recoils through a series of thirty symmetrically-placed ports designed to manage muzzle rise efficiently—transforming powerful magnum rounds into enjoyable shooting experiences.

Weighing as little as 5.2 pounds—and just slightly more at 5.4 pounds for magnums—the Backcountry 2.0 embodies portability without sacrificing firepower or precision accuracy expected from high-speed calibers like .300 Weatherby Magnum (WBY). Its aesthetic upgrades include Patriot Brown Cerakote protection over critical components and an elegant brown-green pattern accentuating exposed carbon fibers on its stock.

This rifle stands as testament to intelligent design meeting real-world practicality; it’s built for those who demand excellence in their pursuit across rugged terrains worldwide yet seek comfort alongside reliability when discharging formidable calibers under varied conditions.The Weatherby Mark V Backcountry continues living up truly deserving royal lineage among ultralight firearms crafted today!
