There's a reason mountain hunters gravitate toward the Mark V Backcountry. Weatherby built this rifle for the hunter who counts ounces before a ten-day trip but refuses to give up magnum performance to save weight. Chambered in 6.5-300 Weatherby Magnum, one of the fastest 6.5s ever put in a factory rifle, it pushes high-BC bullets at velocities that flatten trajectory and shrink your holdover math at distances where most cartridges start begging for mercy. The 28 inch fluted barrel gives that big case room to burn its powder, so you get the full velocity the cartridge was designed for.
At 6.3 pounds bare, this rifle carries like a mountain gun should. The carbon fiber stock with green and tan sponge accents trims weight without going flimsy, and the McMillan Tan Cerakote on the barrel, receiver, and trigger guard shrugs off weather that would leave a blued gun weeping. A magnum this fast in a rifle this light could be a handful, which is why Weatherby fitted the Accubrake ST up front and the 3DHex recoil reducer in the butt. Together they tame the push enough that you can stay in the scope and watch your hits, something plenty of owners bring up after their first range session.
The TriggerTech trigger breaks clean and crisp right out of the box, and the famously smooth Mark V action cycles fast with a short 54 degree bolt lift. Weatherby guarantees sub-MOA performance, a three-shot group under an inch at 100 yards with Weatherby factory or premium ammo, so the accuracy is not marketing talk.
The receiver comes drilled and tapped with no sights, ready for the optic of your choice. Feed it from the 3+1 capacity and you have a legitimate cross-canyon elk and mule deer rig that will not punish your shoulders or your pack straps. If long walks and longer shots are your kind of hunting, this one earns its spot in the truck.
Yes. Weatherby guarantees Mark V rifles will shoot a three-shot group of .99 inches or better at 100 yards from a cold barrel when using Weatherby factory or premium ammunition. That coverage runs for two years from the verified purchase date for the original owner.
Less than you'd expect. The 6.5-300 burns a lot of powder but throws relatively light bullets, and the Accubrake ST combined with the 3DHex recoil reducer takes the sting out. Most owners describe it as very manageable, closer to a soft-shooting short magnum than a punishing lightweight. Just bring ear protection, because that brake is loud.
No sights are included. The receiver arrives drilled and tapped, so you can mount the bases and optic of your choice. Given the flat-shooting nature of the 6.5-300, most hunters pair it with a quality long-range scope in lightweight rings to keep the overall package trim.
The 6.5-300 Weatherby Magnum has a big case capacity and needs barrel length to convert all that powder into velocity. The 28 inch tube lets the cartridge reach its advertised speeds instead of dumping unburned powder into muzzle blast. Weatherby flutes the barrel to keep weight down, so the rifle still comes in at just 6.3 pounds.
