The Weatherby Mark V Backcountry Guide .243 Winchester 22" bolt-action rifle is purpose-built for hunters and precision shooters who demand reliability across demanding terrain and variable conditions. Engineered for backcountry deployment, this lightweight platform excels in situations where weight matters—mountainous hunts, long-range field operations, or scenarios requiring rapid repositioning. The .243 Winchester cartridge delivers flat trajectory and minimal recoil, making it ideal for mid-range game and precision target work where shooter control and follow-up capability determine success.
Weatherby's Mark V action is renowned for its three-lug bolt design and robust receiver architecture, providing the strength and repeatability expected in professional and tactical applications.

The compact 42-inch overall length reduces snag hazards and improves maneuverability in confined spaces without sacrificing sight radius or ergonomic control.
