There's a reason mountain hunters keep coming back to the Backcountry line. The Mark V Backcountry 2.0 takes Weatherby's proven steel Mark V action and trims weight everywhere it makes sense, starting with the Peak 44 Blacktooth carbon fiber stock, one of the lightest production stocks you can get, and spiral fluting on both the bolt body and the 26 inch barrel. The result is a rifle that carries like a daypack essential instead of a burden, without giving up the rigidity and lockup that made the Mark V famous in the first place.
This one is chambered in 6.5-300 Weatherby Magnum, one of the fastest 6.5mm cartridges ever put into production. Out of the 26 inch tube with a 1:8 twist, it launches high BC bullets at velocities that flatten trajectories and shrug off wind at distances where lesser cartridges start to struggle. That kind of speed usually comes with a price at the shoulder, which is where the Accubrake ST and the 3D printed 3DHEX recoil pad come in. The brake bleeds off recoil through symmetrically spaced ports, and the pad's lattice structure collapses progressively to spread out the impulse. Shooters used to magnum rifles this light are usually surprised at how manageable it feels at the bench.
The nine-lug Mark V bolt gives you a short 54 degree throw, so you can run the action fast without banging your knuckles on the scope. A crisp TriggerTech trigger handles the fire control, and the Patriot Brown Cerakote on the barreled action holds up to weather, sweat, and pack straps season after season. The receiver comes drilled and tapped with no sights, ready for the glass of your choice.
With a 3+1 capacity, thumb safety, and Weatherby's sub-MOA accuracy guarantee with factory or premium ammo, this is a purpose-built rig for elk basins, sheep country, and long glassing sessions that end with one well-placed shot. If your hunts happen a long way from the truck, this rifle was built with you in mind.
Much softer than you'd expect from a lightweight magnum. The Accubrake ST vents gas through 30 symmetrically spaced ports to cut recoil substantially, and the 3DHEX recoil pad uses a collapsing lattice structure to spread the impulse over more time. Most people describe it as a firm push rather than a sharp kick. Just plan on ear protection at the range, since brakes do add muzzle blast.
No, it ships without sights or optics. The receiver comes drilled and tapped, so you just need a base or rail and rings for your scope. Given the reach of the 6.5-300 Weatherby Magnum, quality glass with solid tracking is worth pairing with this rifle.
Yes. Weatherby backs all Mark V rifles with a sub-MOA guarantee, meaning a three-shot group of .99 inches or less at 100 yards from a cold barrel with Weatherby factory or premium ammunition. Paired with the flat-shooting 6.5-300 Wby Mag and a TriggerTech trigger, it's well suited to stretching out on game at extended distances.
No, the Mark V Backcountry 2.0 feeds from an internal magazine holding three rounds of 6.5-300 Wby Mag, plus one in the chamber. That keeps the profile slim and shaves weight, both of which matter on a rifle designed for long pack-in hunts.
