Product Summary
Weatherby Mark V Backcountry 2.0 7mm Weatherby Mag 3+1 26″ 2″ Patriot Brown Cerakote Fluted Threaded Barrel, Steel Drilled & Tapped Receiver, Black w/Brown Accents Fixed Peak 44 Blacktooth Carbon Fiber Stock, Right Hand
The Backcountry 2.0 builds on the classic steel Weatherby Mark V action with some key updates. 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 features 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; lightweight threaded, fluted barrel utilizes Weatherby’s Accubrake ST; 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; and the bolt handle is equipped with a lightweight aluminum extended and skeletonized knob. *Note- 2″ muzzle brake.

Caliber Dictionary
The Below Information Has Been Provided From Our Gun Caliber Dictionary And Is Meant For Informational Purposes Only. It Is Not Intended to Describe The Unique Specifications For This Ammunition.Developed in 1944, the 7mm Weatherby Magnum was one of Roy Weatherby’s original cartridges, based on the 300 H&H case shortened, necked down, body taper removed, and of course with Weatherby’s signature “double Venturi” shoulder. Although popular within the Weatherby line, it is unclear why this cartridge hasn’t become more widespread. Although Weatherby’s Norma-loaded ammunition gives it an advantage, it is significantly faster than the 7mm Remington Magnum–at least 100 fps in all bullet weights–yet, like the 7mm Remington Magnum, its 2.55-inch case allows it to housed in a standard (30-06-length) action. Obviously it is flat-shooting and powerful enough for a huge variety of game…and probably deserves greater popularity than it has attained. — Craig Boddington
