Weatherby Mark V Backcountry 2.0 Carbon Patriot Brown Cerakote Bolt Action Rifle - 243 Winchester - 22in - Expanding on the ground-breaking Backcountry, the Backcountry 2.0 Carbon combines our incredibly popular tensioned carbon fiber barrel with the classic steel Weatherby Mark V action in a lightweight package. This barrel system has a reputation for accuracy and in 2021, a Mark V Carbonmark equipped with this carbon fiber barrel set the new internal Weatherby accuracy record, returning a 0.06in 3-shot group at 100 yards with factory Weatherby Select Plus ammunition. Starting at just 5.8lbs, the Backcountry 2.0 Carbon owes much of its light weight to the new Peak 4 Blacktoot stock — the lightest production carbon fiber stock on the market. Aiding in both weight and recoil reduction is the second generation 3DHEX recoil pad, the first production 3D printed pad the firearms world has seen. Hidden inside the pad are a series of interlocking voids that progressively collapse during recoil, expanding the time component of the recoil impulse and deadening the sharp kick of magnum chamberings.
