Weatherby set out to build a serious mountain rifle with the Backcountry 2.0, and pairing it with the 25 Creedmoor makes a whole lot of sense. This cartridge sends sleek, high-BC quarter-bore bullets downrange with mild recoil and a flat trajectory, which is exactly what you want in a rifle that only weighs 5.3 pounds. The fast twist barrel stabilizes the heavy-for-caliber match and hunting bullets that made this cartridge popular in the first place, so it holds its own well past the distances most of us should be shooting at game anyway.
The heart of the rifle is the proven Mark V action with its short 54-degree bolt lift, which cycles fast and leaves plenty of clearance for low-mounted optics. Spiral fluting on the bolt body trims weight and smooths up the stroke, and the skeletonized aluminum bolt knob is easy to run with gloves on. Up front, the fluted 22-inch barrel wears a #1 MOD contour and comes threaded 1/2×28 with Weatherby's Accubrake ST installed, though with a 25 Creedmoor there is not much recoil to tame in the first place. A TriggerTech trigger breaks clean and crisp right out of the box.
Much of the weight savings comes from the Peak 44 Blacktooth carbon fiber stock, one of the lightest production stocks made, dressed up with sponge-pattern accents and capped with the 3DHEX printed recoil pad. Metalwork gets a Patriot Brown Cerakote treatment on the barrel and receiver with a graphite black bolt, so it shrugs off weather and rough handling without complaint.
The receiver comes drilled and tapped with no sights installed, so plan on adding a quality scope and rings. The internal magazine holds four rounds with one in the chamber, plenty for deer, antelope, and sheep country. If your hunts involve long climbs and longer shots, this is the kind of rifle you stop noticing on your shoulder and start appreciating when it is time to squeeze the trigger.
It is a great fit for deer and antelope. The 25 Creedmoor pushes modern high-BC bullets in the 128 to 134 grain range at respectable speeds with very light recoil, and the fast twist barrel is made to stabilize those heavier quarter-bore bullets. Combined with the 5.3 pound weight, it is an easy rifle to carry all day and shoot well when a buck steps out.
No, it ships without sights. The receiver is drilled and tapped, so you will want to pick up a set of bases or a rail along with rings and a scope. On a lightweight mountain rifle like this, a compact optic in the 3-15x range keeps the overall package balanced and packable.
Yes. The Accubrake ST threads onto a standard 1/2×28 muzzle, so it comes right off and a suppressor or thread protector goes on in its place. The 22-inch barrel keeps overall length reasonable even with a can up front, and the mild-recoiling 25 Creedmoor is a pleasure to shoot suppressed.
No, it feeds from an internal magazine with a hinged floorplate, holding four rounds plus one in the chamber. That design keeps weight down and eliminates a magazine rattling loose in the field. The floorplate lets you dump rounds quickly and safely at the end of the day.
