Description

Some rifles are built for the bench. This one is built for the last two miles of a climb, when your legs are done and the bull is still a ridge away. The Mark V Backcountry 2.0 in .28 Nosler takes Weatherby's proven nine-lug Mark V action and trims weight everywhere it can, from the fluted 26 inch barrel to the spiral-fluted bolt body and skeletonized aluminum bolt knob. The result is a 5.6 pound magnum rifle that carries like a lightweight and still cycles with that short 54 degree bolt throw the Mark V is known for, which means faster follow-ups and plenty of clearance under a low-mounted scope.

Why the Backcountry 2.0 Earns Its Name

The Peak 44 Blacktooth stock is a big part of the story here. At roughly 19 ounces it is one of the lightest production carbon fiber stocks you can get, and it wears a Patriot Brown Cerakote-matched dark green and brown sponge pattern that looks right at home above timberline. Cerakote covers the barrel, receiver, and trigger guard too, so a week of rain and pack straps will not leave the rifle worse for wear. Up front, the factory-installed Accubrake ST tames the .28 Nosler's bark, and the 3D-printed 3DHEX recoil pad uses a collapsing lattice structure to stretch out the recoil pulse. Between the two, this cartridge is far more pleasant than its ballistics would suggest.

The .28 Nosler Advantage in a Mark V Backcountry

The .28 Nosler is one of the fastest 7mm cartridges going, and the 1:9 twist barrel stabilizes the long, high-BC bullets that make it shine at extended range. You get a 3+1 capacity, a crisp adjustable TriggerTech trigger, and Weatherby's sub-MOA accuracy guarantee with their factory ammo. The muzzle is threaded 1/2-28, so swapping the brake for a suppressor is simple. If your hunts involve more boot leather than bench time, this is the rifle that rewards every ounce you saved. Pair it with a quality lightweight scope and go find out how far away is still too close.

Frequently Asked Questions

How heavy is the Mark V Backcountry 2.0 in .28 Nosler?

This chambering weighs in at 5.6 pounds bare, thanks to the 19 ounce Peak 44 Blacktooth carbon fiber stock, fluted barrel, and spiral-fluted bolt. Scoped and slung, most hunters end up with a complete rig well under 8 pounds, which is remarkable for a fast 7mm magnum.

Does the .28 Nosler kick hard in a rifle this light?

It would without help, but Weatherby addressed that from both ends. The Accubrake ST cuts felt recoil significantly, and the 3DHEX recoil pad uses a collapsing lattice design that spreads the impulse over more time. Most folks find it very manageable, closer to a standard short magnum than what the ballistics would suggest.

Is the Weatherby Backcountry 2.0 accurate enough for long range hunting?

Yes. Weatherby backs the Mark V with a sub-MOA accuracy guarantee using their factory ammunition, and the 1:9 twist 26 inch barrel handles the heavy, high-BC 7mm bullets the .28 Nosler was designed around. Combined with the crisp adjustable TriggerTech trigger, it has everything needed to stretch out past typical hunting distances.

Can I run a suppressor on this rifle?

You can. The muzzle is threaded 1/2-28, so once you remove the Accubrake ST, most suppressors with that thread pitch will spin right on. Just keep in mind that a can adds length and weight up front, so many mountain hunters opt for a shorter, lightweight model to keep the balance right.
