Weatherby Mark V Backcountry 2.0 | 6.5 Creedmoor | 22″

The Weatherby Mark V Backcountry 2.0 is a purpose-built lightweight bolt-action rifle chambered in 6.5mm Creedmoor with a 22″ fluted barrel and a detachable 4-round magazine (4+1 capacity). It uses Weatherby’s Mark V action with a Peak 44 Blacktooth carbon fiber stock that reduces carried weight while maintaining a shooting platform suited to long-station precision. The rifle includes an Accubrake ST muzzle brake, a TriggerTech trigger, and a 3D HEX recoil pad to manage felt recoil for extended shots in the field. For an optic under $1,000 that pairs well with this platform, consider the Vortex Viper PST Gen II 3-15×44 as a durable, mid- to long-range scope option.

The Backcountry 2.0 prioritizes a low carry weight and field usability without sacrificing the features expected from a modern hunting and precision rifle. Its carbon-fiber Peak 44 stock and fluted barrel make it well-suited for mountain and backcountry hunting or extended glassing-and-stalk trips where every ounce matters. The combination of a refined trigger, recoil-damping pad, and threaded muzzle also makes it a practical choice for shooters who want a light, shootable platform for longer-range engagements.
