The Weatherby Mark V Backcountry 2.0 Carbon rifle in 6.5 Weatherby RPM with a tensioned carbon fiber barrel at 26 inches overall (brand part no. MCB20N65RWR6B) combines the record-setting Backcountry carbon barrel system with the classic steel Mark V action. Weatherby builds this rifle around the Peak 44 Blacktooth stock, the lightest production carbon fiber stock on the market, bringing total weight down to just 5.9 pounds. A second-generation 3DHEX recoil pad deadens recoil, and spiral fluting on the bolt trims further weight while smoothing function. A titanium Accubrake ST tames recoil with 30 symmetrically spaced ports, and the exposed carbon fiber barrel and stock are set against a Patriot Brown Cerakote shell on the metal. Among lightweight precision hunting rifles in bolt action rifles, this Backcountry 2.0 Carbon configuration favors hunters who want a fast-stepping short-action magnum in an ultralight build.
