Weatherby Mark V Backcountry 2.0 Carbon Ti Bolt Action Rifle 6.5 Weatherby Rebated Precision Mag 24" Carbon Fiber Barrel 4Rd Capacity Carbon Fiber Peak 44 Blacktooth Black with Gray & White Sponge Accents Stock Graphite Black Cerakote Finish
The all new BACKCOUNTRY 2.0 Ti CARBON rifle is Weatherby's new flagship rifle. It features a Titanium receiver, the lightest production aerospace grade Carbon Fiber Stock on the market with their Patent Pending 3DHEX recoil reducing recoil pad, a Tension-Wrapped Carbon Fiber Barrel, a spiral fluted bolt, detachable skeletonized bolt knob, the new Titanium slimline ACCUBRAKE ST, and a TRIGGERTECH Trigger!
The next generation of the ground-breaking Backcountry family, the Backcountry 2.0 Ti Carbon combines Weatherby's incredibly popular tensioned carbon fiber barrel with the supremely lightweight and strong titanum Weatherby Mark V action. The most noticeable upgrade is the carbon fiber Peak 44 Blacktooth stock, the lightest versions of which tip the scales at under 20 ounces. It feature a 3DHEX recoil pad. 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. The lightweight fluted barrel utilizes Weatherby's Accubrake ST, while more pronounced spiral fluting on the bolt body not only trims a little weight, it also reduces bearing surface within the action and results in even smoother function. The newly-threaded bolt handle is equipped with a lightweight aluminum extended and skeletonized knob. Built to be the lightest possible rifle and chambered in some of the worlds fastest cartridges, the Backcountry 2.0 is a worthy successor to the throne.

The 6.5 Weatherby RPM is based on a lengthened version of the existing 284 Winchester. This cartridge has a rebated rim, making it compatible with standard 30-06 bolt faces and reloading equipment. However, the large body diameter, low body taper, and 35-degree shoulder mean that case capacity is greatly increased, leading to higher velocities. In addition, bullet innovation in the 6.5mm category are highly efficient with less drop and wind deflection than many heavier calibers. All these details culminate into a cartridge that delivers 1,500 foot pounds of energy at 500 yards capable of ethically taking big game animals across the globe. — Wholesale Hunter
