Weatherby Mark V Backcountry Guide 25 Creedmoor 22" 3rd Rifle

The Backcountry Guide is a Weatherby Mark V bolt action dressed for hard country hunting, here in 25 Creedmoor. The barrel is 22 inches of fluted carbon fiber, threaded at the muzzle, and the threaded muzzle comes with a machined titanium Accubrake ST. The receiver is steel in black Cerakote, drilled and tapped so scope bases go straight on.

The stock is a Peak 44 Blacktooth, and each one is painted by hand, so every Backcountry Guide looks a little different from the next. Two Spartan Precision gunsmithing adapters are built into the forend, for use with Spartan's ultralight accessories. A 3DHex recoil pad sits on the butt. Weatherby cut deep spiral flutes into the bolt to take out weight and reduce its bearing surface, and the payoff is a smoother, more reliable bolt cycle. The magazine holds 3 rounds. 25 Creedmoor is a quarter bore cartridge that suits deer and pronghorn.
