For hunters and backcountry precision shooters who prioritize every ounce and inch of practical performance, rifle choice can define the hunt. A tightly balanced blend of carbon fiber engineering, compact length, and proven action design gives you a rifle you can carry farther and shoot truer when it counts.

WEATHERBY MARK V GUIDE BACKCOUNTRY

Precision build and key features

The WEATHERBY MARK V GUIDE BACKCOUNTRY is engineered around a 20-inch BSF carbon fiber barrel that trims weight without sacrificing barrel rigidity. The Graphite Black Cerakote finish delivers durable corrosion resistance for field conditions, while the Peak 44 Blacktooth carbon fiber stock—accented in green and tan camo—keeps overall weight down to a highly portable 6.2 lbs. The rifle’s 4+1 capacity and Weatherby Mark V action combine to offer smooth cycling and reliable extraction on extended hunts.

Why the 7MM Backcountry caliber matters

Chambered in 7MM Backcountry, this platform balances flat trajectory and controlled recoil for medium to large game at extended ranges. The 7MM family provides high ballistic coefficient options that retain energy at distance while remaining shootable for lightweight pack-out scenarios. For hunters planning alpine stalks or long glassing approaches, the combination of a short 20-inch barrel and a performance-minded 7MM cartridge is a practical compromise between weight and ballistic performance.

Field advantages

The carbon fiber barrel and stock reduce carry fatigue on multi-day treks. The compact 20-inch length shortens overall rifle profile for easier movement through brush and tight terrain. Cerakote finish protects the rifle from rain and grit, and the Mark V action’s reputation for strong lug engagement makes this a durable choice for demanding environments. Price is $2970.99, which positions this rifle as a premium, purpose-built option for serious backcountry hunters.
