Weatherby Mark V Backcountry Guide .257 Weatherby Magnum 24 in

The Weatherby Mark V Backcountry Guide is a bolt-action rifle designed for mountain and backcountry hunting where weight, reliability, and magnum-level performance matter. Chambered in .257 Weatherby Magnum, the rifle balances long-range capability with features intended to reduce felt recoil and overall weight. Shooters will find it suitable for range work, backcountry hunts, and field applications requiring a compact, magnum-capable rifle.

The Backcountry Guide combines Weatherby engineering with a Peak 44 Blacktooth stock that is hand-painted for a unique finish on every rifle. The forend integrates Spartan Precision gunsmithing adapters for compatibility with ultra-light accessories, and the 3DHex recoil pad is designed to disperse recoil energy. The action uses a deep spiral-fluted bolt to reduce weight and improve cycling, and the threaded muzzle ships with a machined titanium Accubrake ST. An adjustable TriggerTech trigger allows the shooter to fine-tune pull weight, while the BSF carbon fiber barrel reduces overall mass without sacrificing rigidity.
