Weatherby Mark V Backcountry 2.0 Carbon — 6.5-300 WBY Mag

The Weatherby Mark V Backcountry 2.0 Carbon pairs the classic steel Mark V action with Weatherby’s tensioned carbon-fiber barrel system to deliver a lightweight, field-ready magnum platform. Built for magnum chamberings, this build features a Peak 44 Blacktooth carbon-fiber stock, a titanium Accubrake ST, and a TriggerTech trigger. At a reported weight of around 6.6 pounds, it is designed to reduce carried weight and felt recoil while retaining a full-sized bolt action.
