Weatherby Mark V Backcountry 2.0 | .270 Weatherby Magnum

The Mark V Backcountry 2.0 is a purpose-built lightweight mountain rifle from Weatherby designed for mobile hunters and long-range field work. It features Peak 44’s Blacktooth carbon fiber stock, listed at 19 ounces in the manufacturer description, and is fitted with an Accubrake ST muzzle brake and a TriggerTech trigger to manage recoil and improve shot follow-up. For optics, a Vortex Viper HS-T 4-16×44 offers a durable, capable option under $1,000 that pairs well with the Backcountry 2.0 for medium- to long-range hunting. Typical applications include mountain hunting and medium- to long-range big-game hunting.

Its fitted Accubrake ST and 3D Hex recoil pad help control recoil, and the TriggerTech trigger provides a crisp break for precise shot placement.
