Weatherby Mark V Backcountry 2.0 | .300 Wby Mag | 26″ | MBC20N300WR8B

The Weatherby Mark V Backcountry 2.0 in .300 Weatherby Magnum is a purpose-built, lightweight bolt-action optimized for long-range hunting and mountain work where every ounce matters. It pairs well with a rugged variable optic under $1,000; for example, the Vortex Viper PST Gen II 5-25×50 offers a versatile magnification range and glass quality suitable for magnum cartridges. Designed to balance low weight with magnum performance, this model brings Weatherby features—Accubrake ST, a Peak 44 Blacktooth carbon-fiber stock and a 3DHEX recoil pad—into a package aimed at extended-range field use.

Applications: long-range big-game hunting, mountain or alpine hunting expeditions.

Lightweight construction, a carbon-fiber Peak 44 stock and an effective muzzle brake make the Backcountry 2.0 attractive for hunters who must carry a magnum-capable rifle into steep, physical terrain. The 3DHEX recoil pad and Accubrake ST reduce perceived recoil impulse, aiding follow-up shot comfort on heavy-hitting cartridges. Weatherby’s refinement of the Mark V action—spiral-fluted bolt, skeletonized bolt knob and a Cerakote-protected action and barrel—keeps the rifle durable while minimizing weight.
