The Weatherby Mark V Backcountry 2.0 in 25 Creedmoor (brand part no. MBC20N25CMR4B) pairs the classic steel Mark V action with a lightweight build tuned for backcountry hunting. Weatherby cuts a 1-in-8-inch twist into the 22-inch barrel to stabilize 25 Creedmoor bullets, and the rifle ships without iron sights, built to run an optic from the start. The rifle feeds from a 4-round magazine, giving 4+1 on-hand capacity, at just over 7 pounds. Among bolt guns in the bolt action rifles category, the Backcountry 2.0 favors mountain hunters who want a light, carryable rifle in a modern cartridge.
