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 0.06” 3-shot group at 100 yards with factory Weatherby Select Plus ammunition.

The Backcountry Capra redefines the lightweight mountain rifle and raises Weatherby’s standard for backcountry performance. Starting at just 4 pounds the Capra uses the Mark V 6-lug short action machined from titanium making it one of the lightest production rifles ever offered. Its thin-contour barrel features double-spiral fluting that forms a double helix. This cuts weight while adding rigidity to deliver sub-MOA accuracy. A modified Peak 44 Blacktooth stock shaves ounces on the trail while preserving comfortable ergonomics and effective recoil control.

This rifle provides the craftsmanship and quality expected from a Mark V® rifle only surpassed by the stunning color combination and true rugged dependability that embodies its name, Backcountry. Developed in conjunction with the Backcountry Ti, this model carries many of the same innovative technologies including a carbon fiber stock, 3D HEX recoil reducer, TriggerTech Trigger, and Accubrake ST. Implementing the new 6.5 WBY RPM, the Backcountry weighs in at a mere 5.4 pounds built on a 6-Lug receiver.
