The next generation of the ground-breaking Backcountry family, the Weatherby Mark V Backcountry 2.0 257 WBY Mag Rifle, builds on the classic steel Weatherby Mark V action with significant updates. The most noticeable upgrade is the carbon fiber Peak 44 Blacktooth stock, the lightest versions of which tip the scales at under 20 ounces. It features a 3DHEX recoil pad with interlocking voids that collapse during recoil to deaden the sharp kick of magnum chamberings. The lightweight fluted barrel utilizes Weatherby’s Accubrake ST, while spiral fluting on the bolt body reduces bearing surface for smoother function. The newly-threaded bolt handle is equipped with a lightweight aluminum skeletonized knob. Built to be the lightest possible rifle and chambered in some of the world’s fastest cartridges, the Backcountry 2.0 is a worthy successor to the throne.
