The Weatherby Mark V Backcountry 2.0 represents the evolution of a classic, designed for those who demand precision and reliability in their shooting experience. Building on the legendary steel Weatherby Mark V action, this rifle incorporates modern enhancements that cater to both seasoned hunters and new enthusiasts.
At its core, the Backcountry 2.0 maintains a super-thin and lightweight profile with its fluted barrel, available in either #1 MOD or #2 MOD contours depending on your chosen chambering. This design ensures optimal balance while minimizing weight—a crucial factor when traversing challenging terrains.
The rifle measures an overall length of 48 inches with a formidable 26-inch barrel contoured at #2 MOD for superior accuracy. The right-hand action extends to an overall length (OAL) of 28 inches, providing smooth operation under all conditions.
A twist rate of 1-8 inches supports versatile ammunition choices, enhancing bullet stability during flight for consistent shot placement. With a magazine capacity of three rounds plus one in the chamber (3+1), it offers ample firepower without unnecessary bulk.
Attention to detail is evident in every aspect: from the Patriot Brown Cerakote finish adorning the fluted barrel, trigger guard, and receiver; to the Graphite Black Cerakote applied on bolt components including knob and safety—ensuring durability against harsh elements while maintaining aesthetic appeal.
The stock is crafted from Peak 44 Blacktooth carbon fiber featuring dark green and brown sponge pattern accents—a testament not only to advanced engineering but also artistic finesse that blends seamlessly into natural environments.
This iteration does more than preserve tradition—it enhances it by offering unparalleled performance wrapped within cutting-edge design sensibilities suited perfectly for today’s discerning outdoorsman seeking unrivaled excellence amidst wilderness adventures.
