The Weatherby Mark V Backcountry 2.0 rifle in .28 Nosler (brand part no. MBC20N28NOR8B) is purpose-built as the best lightweight mountain rifle on the market, starting at just 5.2 pounds. Weatherby fits Peak 44’s Blacktooth carbon fiber stock, which weighs only 19 ounces, making it one of the lightest production stocks available. An AccuBrake and 3D Hex recoil pad manage recoil extremely well even with Weatherby’s historic magnum-class cartridges, and the fluted 26-inch barrel, trigger guard, and receiver wear a Patriot Brown Cerakote finish while the bolt, bolt knob, and safety are finished in Graphite Black Cerakote. The rifle carries a thumb safety and feeds from a 3+1-round magazine. Among ultralight magnum bolt action rifles, this Mark V Backcountry 2.0 configuration favors hunters who need to make the shot count 10 miles from the truck.
