Weatherby Mark V Backcountry Guide 280 AI 22" 4rd Rifle

The Weatherby Mark V Backcountry Guide in 280 Ackley Improved is a light, steel action Mark V for hunters who cover ground. It has a 22 inch threaded barrel, a 4 round magazine and weighs about 5.6 pounds. A machined titanium Accubrake ST rides on the 5/8-24 threaded muzzle and adds 2 inches to the barrel.

The Peak 44 Blacktooth carbon fiber stock is hand painted, so each rifle is a little different, and the forend has two Spartan Precision adapters installed for their ultralight accessories. A 3DHex recoil pad soaks up the kick, and the deep spiral fluted bolt cuts weight and reduces bearing surface for a smoother cycle. The TriggerTech trigger is adjustable, so you can set the pull weight to suit cold fingers or gloves. The 280 AI pushes 7mm bullets fast and flat, and the 1:9 twist stabilizes the heavier hunting weights, which makes this rifle a solid match for elk, mule deer and open country whitetail.
