Weatherby Mark V Backcountry Guide | 6.5-300 26″

The Weatherby Mark V Backcountry Guide is a purpose-built bolt-action rifle chambered in 6.5×300 Weatherby Mag and configured for long-range mountain work where weight, recoil mitigation and reliability matter. It pairs a shorter BSF carbon-fiber barrel with a lightweight Peak 44 Blacktooth stock and a threaded muzzle fitted with a titanium Accubrake ST to control recoil. The package includes an adjustable TriggerTech trigger and a spiral-fluted bolt for a smooth cycling action.

For optics, consider a Vortex Viper PST Gen II 5-25×50 as a capable scope that typically sells under $1,000 and provides the magnification and features suited to this caliber and role. Typical applications for this rifle include precision long-range hunting in alpine environments and extended-range target work where a combination of controllable recoil and low weight is important.
