Weatherby MBC20N65CMR4B Mark V 6.5 Creedmoor 22" 5-Round Bolt-Action Rifle

The Weatherby MBC20N65CMR4B Mark V Backcountry 2.0 6.5 Creedmoor bolt-action rifle is purpose-built for hunters, precision shooters, and tactical marksmen who demand reliable long-range performance in demanding field conditions. This rifle addresses the core requirement of lightweight, packable rifle systems that refuse to compromise on accuracy or durability. At 6.8 pounds, it delivers the ballistic efficiency of the 6.5 Creedmoor cartridge without the weight penalty that typically accompanies magnum-class bolt guns.

The Mark V Backcountry 2.0 leverages Weatherby's proven two-lug bolt design, engineered for rapid cycling and consistent lockup under sustained fire. The 22-inch barrel balances velocity retention with maneuverability—critical in backcountry and tactical environments where long sight lines coexist with brush and obstacles. The 5-round capacity offers practical magazine management without excessive bulk or weight, and the 6.5 Creedmoor chambering delivers superior ballistic coefficient, retained velocity, and wind-bucking performance compared to legacy cartridges. Weatherby's cold-hammer-forged barrel ensures bore concentricity and extended barrel life, while the compact overall length of approximately 48.8 inches facilitates transport, vehicle mounting, and rapid deployment in confined spaces.

Law enforcement precision marksmen, military designated riflemen, and serious long-range hunters will recognize this platform's utility for duty loads, training, and extended-range fieldwork. The rifle's lightweight profile and compact dimensions make it ideal for mountain hunting, precision rifle competitions, and dedicated sniper or patrol rifle roles. Compatibility with standard AICS/Picatinny accessories and optic mounting systems ensures seamless integration into existing tactical ecosystems. Whether you're evaluating this rifle for purchase, specifications, or tactical application research, the Mark V Backcountry 2.0 represents a mature, combat-proven design optimized for real-world performance demands.
