The Weatherby Mark V Backcountry 2.0 LH is a left-hand bolt-action rifle chambered in .270 WBY Mag. It comes in at 6.2 lbs with a 26-inch barrel, which makes it one of the lighter production rifles available in this caliber. The carbon fiber stock with green/brown pattern and Patriot Brown Cerakote on the metal keeps weight down without sacrificing strength.

Detailed Features 

 
The carbon fiber stock keeps the rifle at 6.2 lbs, which matters on multi-day backcountry hunts where every pound counts. The Cerakote finish handles rain and rough handling without requiring extra care. The Accubrake ST cuts felt recoil, which is useful given the .270 WBY Mag's velocity. The TriggerTech trigger has a clean break with minimal take-up, and the 3D HEX system in the stock adds some additional recoil absorption. The barrel is left-hand threaded and the action is drilled and tapped for a scope. 
 

Usage Scenarios 

• Mountain hunting: At 6.2 lbs it is worth carrying when elevation and distance are factors. 
• Long-range big game: The .270 WBY Mag delivers flat trajectory and retained energy at distances where standard .270 Win starts to fall off. 
• Left-handed shooters: Purpose-built LH action rather than a converted right-hand design.

The Backcountry 2.0 LH draws positive feedback primarily from left-handed hunters who have had limited options in lightweight mountain rifles. Having a true left-hand action in .270 WBY Mag at this weight is a recurring point. Most comparable rifles are right-hand only or cost significantly more.

Accuracy gets consistent praise. Tight groups at extended distances come up regularly, and the TriggerTech trigger is specifically mentioned as a meaningful upgrade over factory triggers on competing rifles. Recoil is manageable relative to what the caliber produces, which owners credit to the Accubrake ST and the 3D HEX system working together.

The main criticisms are price and aftermarket support. This is an expensive rifle, and buyers who hesitate on it often compare it against more affordable bolt guns in standard chamberings. Aftermarket stocks and accessories built specifically for the Mark V LH are harder to find than for more common platforms. A few users note that the 6.2 lb weight feels heavier after a long day in steep terrain, though that's partly the nature of any rifle at this weight class.
