Weatherby Mark V Backcountry 2.0 | 6.5×300 Weatherby Mag

The Weatherby Mark V Backcountry 2.0 is a lightweight bolt-action rifle built for magnum performance in remote terrain. It pairs a refined Mark V action with a thin, fluted barrel profile and the Peak 44 Blacktooth carbon fiber stock to minimize weight without compromising rigidity or control. Left-hand configuration and a threaded muzzle with Accubrake ST make this variant well suited to left-handed shooters who need a compact, hard-hitting rifle for extended field use. A capable optic under $1,000 that complements this platform is the Vortex Viper PST Gen II 5-25×50 for long-range field applications.

Common applications include backcountry big-game hunting and extended-range field shooting where packability, recoil management, and accuracy are priorities.
