The Weatherby Mark V Backcountry 2.0 was purpose-built to be one of the best lightweight mountain rifles on the market, chambered here in .270 Weatherby Magnum (brand part no. MBC20N270WR8B). Weatherby fits it with the Peak 44 Blacktooth carbon fiber stock, which weighs only about 19 ounces, among the lightest production stocks available. An Accubrake ST and 3D Hex recoil pad work together to manage recoil even with Weatherby’s historically stout magnum cartridges. The fluted barrel and spiral fluted bolt shave additional weight from the overall package without sacrificing durability. Chambered in .270 Weatherby Magnum, this rifle is built for hunters who want to cover serious mountain miles without carrying serious rifle weight.
