The Weatherby Mark V Backcountry 2.0 .338 Weatherby RPM Left-Hand Rifle is a bolt-action rifle chambered in .338 Weatherby RPM, set up with a 24-inch barrel threaded 5/8-24 and a factory muzzle brake (brand part no. MBC20N338WL6B). It pairs a fluted barrel with a Peak 44 Blacktooth carbon fiber stock, and Weatherby built the line as a lightweight mountain rifle that starts at just 5.2 pounds. A TriggerTech trigger, a 54-degree bolt throw and a 3DHEX recoil pad round it out. It holds 4+1 rounds and uses a 1-in-10 twist, which makes it a fit for mountain hunts where weight matters.
