Weatherby Mark V Backcountry2 6.5-300 Left Hand Bolt-Action Rifle

The Weatherby Mark V Backcountry2 6.5-300 Left Hand Bolt-Action Rifle is purpose-built for long-range hunters and precision shooters who demand a lightweight platform without sacrificing ballistic performance. Chambered in the magnum 6.5-300 Weatherby Magnum cartridge, this left-hand rifle delivers flat trajectory and retained energy at extended distances—critical for backcountry hunts where shots routinely exceed 300 yards. The left-hand configuration ensures proper ejection and ergonomic control for southpaw operators, making this rifle equally viable for law enforcement precision teams and competitive long-range shooters.

Built on Weatherby's proven Mark V action, this bolt-action rifle features a three-position safety, adjustable trigger, and a 48.13-inch overall length that balances handling with sight radius. The Backcountry2 design emphasizes weight savings through a composite stock and stainless steel or chrome-moly barrel, reducing field fatigue during extended pack-in operations. The 6.5-300 Weatherby Magnum propels a 130-grain pill to approximately 3,600 feet per second, generating over 3,700 foot-pounds of muzzle energy—sufficient for medium to large game and steel targets at distance. Weatherby's precision manufacturing tolerances and controlled-round-feed bolt ensure reliable feeding and extraction in variable field conditions.

This rifle serves operators and hunters seeking a dedicated long-range platform with genuine left-hand ergonomics rather than ambidextrous compromises. Tactical teams benefit from the Mark V's reputation for sub-MOA accuracy and the 6.5-300's ballistic coefficient advantage in wind deflection calculations. The Backcountry2 accepts standard Weatherby scope mounts and integrates with aftermarket tactical chassis systems for precision rifle builds. Left-hand shooters will appreciate controls positioned for intuitive manipulation—bolt throw, safety engagement, and magazine changes require no awkward transitions. Typical applications include precision rifle competitions, long-range hunting in open terrain, and precision marksmanship training environments where left-hand operation is non-negotiable.
