The Weatherby Mark V Backcountry 2.0 is a lightweight bolt-action rifle built for hunters who cover serious miles. At 5.4 lbs., the carbon fiber stock does most of the work. It keeps the rifle from wearing you out on a long approach while still giving the action something solid to rest in. The 7MM PRC caliber sits in a good spot: enough reach and energy for elk-sized game, manageable recoil even without the Accubrake ST muzzle brake.

Features
The Patriot Brown Cerakote finish on both barrel and receiver resists corrosion well in wet backcountry conditions. The left-hand threaded barrel lets you run a suppressor; without one it accepts a wide range of standard muzzle devices. The TriggerTech trigger has a short reset and consistent pull that holds up to field use without adjustment. Recoil from the Accubrake ST is notably softer than unbraked 7MM PRC, which matters on follow-up shots. The receiver is drilled and tapped for standard scope mounts.
