Weatherby Mark V Backcountry Guide | MGS01N280AR4B | .280 AI

The Weatherby Mark V Backcountry Guide is a purpose-built bolt-action rifle chambered in .280 Ackley Improved with a 22″ barrel, designed for lightweight, long-range work in rugged terrain. It features a Peak 44 Blacktooth carbon-fiber stock that is hand-painted for a unique finish, a deep spiral-fluted bolt to reduce weight and smooth the action, and a threaded muzzle fitted with a machined titanium Accubrake ST. This right-hand model includes an adjustable TriggerTech trigger and is drilled and tapped for optics. A good optic match under $1000 for this rifle is the Vortex Viper PST Gen II 5-25×50, which pairs well for extended-range accuracy and hunting applications.

Common real-world uses include backcountry hunting and precision field shooting where reduced weight and reliable bolt function matter most.
