The Weatherby Mark V Backcountry 2.0 rifle in 6.5 Wby RPM (brand part no. MBC20N65RWR6B) builds on the classic steel Weatherby Mark V action with a carbon fiber Peak 44 Blacktooth stock, the lightest versions of which tip the scales at under 20 ounces. Weatherby fits a super-thin, lightweight fluted 24-inch barrel with a 1-in-8 twist 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 thumb safety and a 4+1-round magazine round out the action, and the AccuBrake ST is blended to match the muzzle’s profile with 30 symmetrically spaced ports. Among proprietary-magnum bolt action rifles, this Backcountry 2.0 configuration favors hunters who want 6.5 Wby RPM’s performance in the lightest possible build.
