Weatherby Mark V Backcountry 2.0 | 6.5 Wby RPM | 24″

The Weatherby Mark V Backcountry 2.0 is a lightweight, bolt-action hunting rifle built from the classic Mark V action and updated for rugged backcountry carry. It pairs a thin, fluted 24″ barrel with a carbon-fiber Peak 44 Blacktooth stock and Weatherby’s Accubrake ST muzzle device to reduce felt recoil for magnum-capable cartridges. This configuration is well-suited for long-range hunting and precision field work; a durable mid- to high-power optic such as the Vortex Viper PST Gen II (under $1,000) makes a practical match for this rifle.
