Weatherby Mark V Backcountry 2.0 | .240 Wby Mag

The Weatherby Mark V Backcountry 2.0 is a purpose-built lightweight mountain rifle chambered in .240 Weatherby Magnum and configured for difficult backcountry use. It pairs a modern Mark V steel action with Peak 44’s Blacktooth carbon fiber stock and Weatherby’s Accubrake ST to manage recoil from magnum cartridges. The rifle is drilled and tapped and ships without sights, making it ready for a quality riflescope and rings. A good optic under $1,000 that complements this package is the Vortex Viper HS-T 4-16×44 — it offers usable magnification, a reliable reticle, and controls suited to hunting and mountain work.

Built to be carried into rough terrain, the Backcountry 2.0 focuses on weight reduction and controllable recoil without sacrificing the Mark V action’s reliability. Peak 44’s Blacktooth carbon fiber stock and Weatherby’s spiral-fluted bolt work together to reduce mass and maintain smooth operation, and the Accubrake ST helps make magnum chamberings more manageable for extended shooting in the field. This rifle suits mountain hunting and long-range backcountry work where every ounce and every yard of performance matters.
