The Weatherby Mark V Backcountry Guide .300 PRC rifle is a lightweight mountain rifle (Weatherby part no. MGS01N300PR4B). Weatherby builds it around a Peak 44 Blacktooth carbon fiber stock with two Spartan Precision gunsmithing adapters installed at the factory for ultralight accessories, and a 3DHEX recoil pad. A deep spiral-fluted bolt trims weight and smooths the cycle. The BSF carbon fiber barrel is 22 inches long, threaded 5/8-24 and fitted with a machined titanium Accubrake ST, and an adjustable TriggerTech trigger lets you tune the pull weight. It is built for the hunter who counts ounces on a long climb.
