Weatherby MBC20N280AR6B Mark V Backcountry 2.0 | .280 AI | 24″

The Weatherby Mark V Backcountry 2.0 (MBC20N280AR6B) is a lightweight, bolt-action sporting rifle built around the Mark V action and configured for fast magnum cartridges. It pairs a fluted, Accubrake ST-equipped barrel with a Peak 44 Blacktooth carbon-fiber stock and a 3D HEX recoil pad to reduce felt recoil. This configuration is intended for long, mobile hunts where weight and controllable recoil are priorities. A good optic pairing under $1,000 for this rifle is the Vortex Viper PST Gen II series, which balances magnification range, clarity and durability for mountain and long-range hunting applications.

Lightweight but built on the proven Mark V platform, this Backcountry 2.0 blends sub-six-pound carrying weight with features intended to improve follow-up shot comfort and reliable function in the field. The Peak 44 carbon stock and fluted components reduce mass without sacrificing rigidity, while the threaded, fluted barrel and Accubrake ST offer options for recoil management and accessory attachment. This rifle is well suited to backcountry big-game hunting and extended mountain glassing-and-stalk hunts where weight, accuracy and manageable recoil matter most.
