The new Backcountry is built on Weatherby’s six-lug Mark V action and sports a fluted bolt. Later, when Roy Weatherby decided he needed a dedicated rifle action to house his powerful magnums, he built it himself. There’s little doubt Weatherby’s hot magnum cartridges and slick advertising helped launch the Magnum Craze of the mid 1900s, and the performance of Weatherby’s proprietary rounds prompted companies like Winchester and Remington to launch belted magnums of their own to compete.įor most of the 20th century, the Weatherby cartridges were at the peak of every ballistic chart, and the brand became synonymous with speed. 250-3000 Savage cartridge became the first centerfire round to break the 3,000-fps threshold, an insurance-man-turned-gunmaker named Roy Weatherby cooked up a whole new line of cartridges that eclipsed that 3,000-fps mark by a sizable margin.

Using a 416R stainless steel match barrel roll-wrapped with a carbon-fiber sleeve, loaded under tension to create strength and reduce weight, 95 percent of the carbon fiber does not touch the barrel, which allows air to foil around the steel and rapidly cool the barrel, adding rigidity and reducing overall weight.

In addition to the features noted above, the new Weatherby Mark V Carbonmark features a BSF carbon barrel, which is lightweight, accurate, and fast-cooling.
