Weatherby Mark V Backcountry 2.0 7mm PRC 26"

Weatherby Mark V Backcountry 2.0: Purpose-Built for the High Country

The Backcountry 2.0 represents a thoughtful evolution of Weatherby's legendary Mark V action, refined specifically for hunters who demand both performance and portability in challenging terrain.

Key Features

Action & Barrel

• Classic Weatherby Mark V steel action with proven reliability
• 26-inch fluted, threaded barrel in 7mm PRC chambering
• Patriot Brown Cerakote finish for durability and aesthetics
• Weatherby Accubrake ST muzzle brake for recoil management and shot control

Stock & Ergonomics

• Peak 44 Blacktooth carbon fiber stock weighs under 20 ounces—exceptional for a full-featured hunting rifle
• Dark green and brown sponge material provides grip and visual appeal
• 3DHEX recoil pad with interlocking voids that progressively collapse during recoil, extending the impulse duration and reducing felt recoil

Bolt & Action Refinements

• Spiral fluting on bolt body reduces weight while minimizing bearing surface for smoother, more reliable function
• Lightweight aluminum extended and skeletonized bolt knob reduces rotating mass
• Threaded barrel ready for sound suppressors

Why It Matters

The 7mm PRC delivers flat trajectory and energy retention ideal for mountain hunting. The Backcountry 2.0's weight savings—achieved through carbon fiber construction and precision fluting—mean less fatigue on long hunts without sacrificing the strength and accuracy Weatherby actions are known for. The advanced recoil management system makes magnum performance more manageable, especially important when shooting from field positions at elevation.

This is a rifle built for serious hunters who understand that every ounce counts when the elevation gain is measured in thousands of feet.
