Weatherby Mark V Backcountry 2.0 Rifle 6.5 Creedmoor 4rd Magazine 22" Barrel Synthetic Stock Brown and Green

The Weatherby Mark V Backcountry 2.0 in 6.5 Creedmoor is a purpose-built lightweight mountain rifle engineered for hunters who need to cover serious backcountry ground without sacrificing shot-making capability. At just 5.2 lbs, this rifle cuts weight where it matters most—during that final push toward your glassing point or when you're already shouldering the shot at elevation. The Mark V Backcountry 2.0 starts with a Peak 44 Blacktooth carbon fiber stock weighing only 19 oz, one of the lightest synthetic stocks you'll find in production. That foundation lets you push through the day without the cumulative fatigue that turns a mile into ten.

Weatherby engineered this rifle to handle recoil like a heavier gun despite its featherweight build. The Accubrake ST muzzle brake and 3D Hex recoil pad work together to manage felt recoil and muzzle rise, so follow-up shots stay true even in the thin air where most hunts matter. The 22" barrel is fluted to shed additional weight while improving heat dissipation during range work. The finish is equally thought-out: the barrel, trigger guard, and receiver wear Patriot Brown Cerakote for a classic, efficient look, while the bolt, bolt knob, and safety are finished in Graphite Black Cerakote. The stock's dark green and brown sponge pattern accents blend durability with backcountry aesthetics.

The 6.5 Creedmoor chambering brings flat trajectory and mild recoil to the table—ideal for the long shots common in open terrain, without the additional kick that can throw off precision at critical moments. Four-round magazine capacity suits mountain hunts where setup and patience matter more than volume. This is the rifle for the hunter who's done the conditioning, studied the wind, and knows that success begins at the truck but depends on every ounce saved.

Frequently Asked Questions

What makes this rifle so light for mountain hunting?

The Mark V Backcountry 2.0 combines a carbon fiber stock at only 19 oz with a fluted barrel, receiver, and trigger guard—every component was chosen to reduce weight without compromising strength or accuracy. That discipline adds up to 5.2 lbs total, a significant advantage during long approaches or when you're glassing steep terrain all day.

Will the Accubrake ST help with recoil in the 6.5 Creedmoor?

Yes. The Accubrake ST muzzle brake combined with the 3D Hex recoil pad manages recoil effectively, helping you stay on target for follow-up shots and reducing the physical punishment of shooting a lightweight rifle, even though the 6.5 Creedmoor is relatively mild-mannered.
