The Weatherby MBC20N338WR0B, a new addition to the revolutionary Backcountry line, is an upgraded version of the classic Weatherby Mark V action. A conspicuous improvement is the lightweight carbon fiber Peak 44 Blacktooth stock, with its lightest versions weighing less than 20 ounces. It is also equipped with a 3DHEX recoil pad that contains series of interlocking spaces that gradually compress during recoil, extending the recoil impulse's timing and mitigating the harsh kickback associated with magnum chamberings.
The rifle also includes a lightweight fluted barrel that utilizes Weatherby's Accubrake ST. Thanks to the more pronounced spiral fluting on the bolt body, the rifle achieves a smoother function - not only does this design contribute to weight reduction, but it also lessens bearing surface within the action.
The advanced bolt handle of the Backcountry 2.0 is now threaded and paired with a lightweight extended and skeletonized aluminum knob. Designed to be the lightest possible rifle and chambered for some of the world's highest velocity cartridges, the Backcountry 2.0 proves itself as a fitting heir to its lineage.
The next generation of the ground-breaking Backcountry family the Backcountry 2.0 builds on the classic steel Weatherby Mark V action with some key updates. Still equipped with a super thin and lightweight fluted barrel it is contoured at a #1 MOD or #2 MOD depending on the chambering. - The most noticeable upgrade is the new carbon fiber Peak 44 Blacktooth stock the lightest versions of which tip the scales at under 20 ounces. - Also grabbing the eye 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. - 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. - Fit with Weatherby's highly-effective Accubrake ST this brake is blended to match the profile of the muzzle. With 30 symmetrically-spaced ports that help harness the recoil it tames even magnum chamberings and makes them pleasant to shoot. - Starting at just 5.2 lbs and 5.4 lbs in magnum chamberings the Backcountry 2.0 also sports an updated paint scheme with action and barrel protected by a Cerakote shell of Patriot Brown with the stock carrying a brown and green pattern over exposed carbon fiber. - Built to be the lightest possible rifle and chambered in some of the world's fastest cartridges the Backcountry 2.0 is a worthy successor to the throne. - Fluted Barrel / Trigger Guard / Receiver- Patriot Brown Cerakote - Bolt / Bolt Knob / Safety- Graphite Black Cerakote - Stock- Peak 44 Blacktooth Carbon fiber with dark green and brown sponge pattern accents - Caliber: 338 Wby RPM - Weight: 5.4 lbs - Overall Length: 40 - Barrel Length & Contour: 18 #3 - Action / Barrel OAL: RH 20 (18 barrel + 2 muzzle brake) - Twist Rate: 1-10 - Mag Capacity: 4+1 - Length of Pull: 13.5 - Drop @ Comb: .625 - Drop @ Heel: .30
