The Weatherby Mark V Backcountry Carbon rifle in 6.5mm Creedmoor with a 22-inch barrel (brand part no. MCB20N65CMR4B) pairs Weatherby’s tensioned carbon fiber barrel technology with the classic steel Mark V action for a lightweight, packable hunting rifle. Weatherby uses a 1-in-8-inch twist to stabilize heavier 6.5 Creedmoor match bullets, and a thumb safety keeps operation simple in the field. The 4+1 capacity keeps a follow-up shot ready without adding bulk. Among lightweight precision hunting rifles in bolt action rifles, this Backcountry Carbon configuration favors hunters who want 6.5 Creedmoor’s flat trajectory in a genuinely packable build.
