Weatherby Mark V Backcountry 2.0 338 Weatherby RPM Bolt Action Rifle - Versatile Green and Brown Camo for Precision Shooting - MBC20N338WR0B

The Mark V Backcountry 2.0 sets a new standard as the ultimate lightweight mountain rifle, starting at just 5.20 lb. It features the revolutionary Peak 44s Blacktooth carbon fiber stock, weighing only 19 oz and one of the lightest production stocks available. Equipped with an Accubrake and 3D Hex Recoil pad, the Backcountry 2.0 series effectively manages recoil, even with Weathersby's powerful magnum cartridges, ensuring confidence when taking critical shots far from the truck. This next-generation rifle builds upon the classic steel Weatherby Mark V action with several key updates. It retains a super thin and lightweight fluted barrel and introduces the new carbon fiber Peak 44 Blacktooth stock, weighing under 20 oz in its lightest configurations. The updated 3DHEX recoil pad, a pioneering 3D printed design, features interlocking voids that absorb recoil progressively, smoothing out the sharp kick of magnum rounds. Enhancements include more pronounced spiral fluting on the bolt body, reducing weight and improving action smoothness. The threaded bolt handle boasts a lightweight aluminum extended and skeletonized knob for optimal grip and control. The rifle is fitted with Weathersby's Accubrake ST, finely tuned to match the muzzle profile, featuring 30 symmetrically-spaced ports that effectively mitigate recoil and enhance shooting comfort with magnum calibers. Designed to be the lightest possible rifle without compromising performance and chambered in some of the world's fastest cartridges, the Backcountry 2.0 stands as a worthy successor to its esteemed lineage.
