Weatherby Mark V Backcountry 2.0 | .243 Winchester

The Weatherby Mark V Backcountry 2.0 in .243 Winchester is a lightweight bolt-action rifle designed for mobile precision and backcountry hunting. With a 22″ barrel and a listed weight of 5.2 pounds, it prioritizes carryability and practical ballistics for extended glassing and stalks. The action is drilled and tapped for optics; consider a Vortex Viper PST Gen II 3-15×44, a capable scope commonly available under $1,000, to maximize the rifle’s effective range. Typical applications include alpine/backcountry hunting and precision varmint work.
