Weatherby Mark V Backcountry 2.0 Bolt Action Rifle 6.5 Creedmoor

In the world of hunting rifles, few names resonate with as much authority and heritage as Weatherby. The Mark V Backcountry 2.0 in 6.5 Creedmoor stands proudly at the forefront of innovation while maintaining its classic roots. Building upon the legendary steel Weatherby Mark V action, this rifle introduces a series of enhancements that set it apart from its predecessors.

At first glance, you'll notice the super-thin and lightweight fluted barrel contoured to either #1 MOD or #2 MOD based on your chambering preference—designed for precision without unnecessary heft. But what truly redefines expectations is the new Peak 44 Blacktooth stock made from carbon fiber; it's among the lightest available, tipping scales at under 20 ounces.

Comfort during recoil is assured by Weatherby's second-generation 3DHEX recoil pad—the firearms industry's inaugural production-ready 3D-printed pad. Its ingenious design features interlocking voids that collapse progressively under pressure, extending recoil duration to soften even magnum rounds' impact.

Functionality meets aesthetics with pronounced spiral fluting on the bolt body—reducing weight and enhancing smooth operation by minimizing bearing surface contact within the action. Completing this ensemble is a newly-threaded bolt handle equipped with an aluminum extended skeletonized knob—a testament to meticulous engineering aimed at reducing mass without compromising performance.

The Accubrake ST muzzle brake further complements this masterpiece's build integrity—it integrates seamlessly into the muzzle profile using thirty meticulously spaced ports to effectively manage recoil forces across all calibers including magnums.

Weighing in at just over five pounds (5.3 lbs), every detail exudes purposeful craftsmanship—from its Patriot Brown Cerakote finish safeguarding both action and barrel against harsh elements to artful sponge-pattern accents adorning exposed carbon fiber surfaces on stock components—all underscoring durability alongside visual appeal.

With specifications like an overall length of forty-four inches paired perfectly against twenty-two inch barrels featuring one-in-eight twist rates plus four-plus-one magazine capacity—you'll find balance between agility required for demanding hunts yet power needed when stakes are high amidst wilderness challenges faced today more than ever before!

Whether you’re traversing rugged terrains or setting up camp atop remote ridgelines far removed civilization’s comforts rest assured knowing each shot fired delivers unparalleled accuracy courtesy precise attention paid towards essential metrics such drop comb measurements (.625") heel drops (.30"), ensuring optimal alignment whilst aiming downrange confidently wherever adventure leads next!
