The Weatherby Mark V Backcountry 2.0 is a lightweight, left-hand bolt-action rifle chambered in 6.5-300 Weatherby Mag designed for backcountry and long-range field use. It pairs Weatherby’s Mark V action with a thin, fluted barrel and a Peak 44 Blacktooth carbon fiber stock to minimize weight while maintaining rigidity. The rifle includes Weatherby’s Accubrake ST muzzle brake, a second-generation 3DHEX recoil pad, and an updated bolt with pronounced spiral fluting and a skeletonized aluminum knob. This configuration balances magnum chambering performance with reduced felt recoil and smooth cycling.
