The next generation of the ground-breaking Backcountry family, the Weatherby Mark V Backcountry 2.0 Ti Carbon Rifle in 6.5 WBY RPM combines Weatherby’s incredibly popular tensioned carbon fiber barrel with the supremely lightweight and strong titanium Weatherby Mark V action. 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, which expands the time component of the recoil impulse and deadens the sharp kick of magnum chamberings. The lightweight fluted barrel utilizes Weatherby’s Accubrake ST, while more pronounced spiral fluting on the bolt body reduces bearing surface within the action for smoother function. The newly-threaded bolt handle is equipped with a lightweight aluminum extended and 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.
