The Weatherby Mark V Backcountry 2.0 rifle in .240 Weatherby Magnum (brand part no. MBC20N240WR6B) builds on the classic steel Weatherby Mark V action with key updates, including the carbon fiber Peak 44 Blacktooth stock that tips the scales at under 20 ounces in its lightest versions. Weatherby fits a super-thin, lightweight fluted 24-inch barrel and a second-generation 3D Hex recoil pad, the first production 3D-printed recoil pad in the firearms world, whose interlocking voids progressively collapse to deaden magnum recoil. A more pronounced spiral-fluted bolt with a lightweight aluminum extended, skeletonized knob results in smoother function, and the AccuBrake ST is blended to match the muzzle’s profile with 30 symmetrically spaced ports. Starting at just 5.2 pounds, this Backcountry 2.0 wears a Patriot Brown Cerakote finish on the fluted barrel, trigger guard, and receiver. Among ultralight magnum bolt action rifles, this Backcountry 2.0 configuration favors hunters who want the lightest possible rifle in a proven magnum chambering.
