Weatherby Mark V Backcountry 2.0 Carbon | 6.5 WBY RPM

The Weatherby Mark V Backcountry 2.0 Carbon pairs a tensioned carbon-fiber barrel with the Mark V action to produce a lightweight, hard-using bolt-action rifle in 6.5 Weatherby RPM. The design emphasizes reduced carry weight, refined recoil management and an accuracy-focused barrel system suitable for extended field days. For an optic under $1,000 that complements the Backcountry 2.0 Carbon, a Vortex Viper PST Gen II 3-15×44 provides an effective balance of magnification and optical clarity for terrain-oriented precision work.

Common applications for this rifle include mountain hunting and precision field shooting where weight savings and repeatable accuracy matter.
