The Weatherby Mark V .300 Wby Mag Bolt Action Rifle represents the latest evolution in ultralight magnum hunting platforms. Built on Weatherby's proven Mark V action and engineered for hunters who refuse to compromise between power and portability, the Backcountry 2.0 delivers genuine performance in a rifle that won't wear you down on the mountain. This .300 Wby Mag rifle starts at just 5.4 lbs, making it one of the lightest magnum options available—ideal for backcountry hunting, long-range work, or any situation where every ounce matters.
The rifle's design philosophy centers on smart weight reduction without sacrificing capability. The super-thin, fluted #1 MOD contour barrel maintains rigidity while shedding grams. The bolt body carries pronounced spiral fluting, and the newly-threaded handle features a lightweight aluminum extended skeletonized knob. Where Weatherby really innovates is the Peak 44 Blacktooth carbon fiber stock—some versions weigh under 20 ounces—paired with a second-generation 3DHEX recoil pad. This 3D-printed pad uses interlocking voids that progressively collapse during firing, stretching the recoil impulse and taking the edge off magnum recoil impulse without relying on pure density.
Finishing the package is Weatherby's Accubrake ST, fitted with 30 symmetrically-spaced ports that harness recoil energy and keep muzzle rise under control—a genuine comfort upgrade for a hard-kicking .300 Wby Mag. The rifle wears Patriot Brown Cerakote on the action and barrel, with Graphite Black on the bolt and safety, while the stock showcases brown and green sponge pattern accents over exposed carbon fiber. This is a serious mountain rifle built for serious hunters.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the weight of the Weatherby Mark V Backcountry 2.0 in .300 Wby Mag?
The rifle weighs 5.4 lbs in this magnum chambering, making it one of the lightest true magnum hunting rifles available. This is achieved through the super-thin fluted barrel, spiral-fluted bolt, lightweight carbon fiber stock, and skeletonized components throughout the design.
How does the 3DHEX recoil pad work?
The second-generation 3DHEX pad is a 3D-printed component featuring interlocking voids that progressively collapse as the rifle fires. This gradual compression extends the duration of the recoil impulse and significantly reduces the sharp kick associated with .300 Wby Mag magnum cartridges.
What's the length of pull, and is it adjustable?
The length of pull is 13.5 inches. The specifications provided do not indicate adjustability, so confirm with Bosque Outdoors if custom fit is needed.
