Weatherby Mark V Backcountry 2.0 | .257 Weatherby Magnum

The Weatherby Mark V Backcountry 2.0 is a lightweight bolt-action rifle built around Weatherby’s Mark V action and a fluted, thin-contour barrel. It pairs a Peak 44 Blacktooth carbon-fiber stock and a 3DHEX recoil pad to reduce felt recoil from magnum chamberings. For a practical optic that complements the rifle’s intent and performance, consider a Vortex Viper PST Gen II 3-15×44 as a durable, repeatable option under $1000.

Suitable applications for this rifle include long-range mountain hunting and precision field shooting where weight, durability, and magnum capability matter.
