Weatherby Mark V Backcountry 6.5-300 Weatherby Magnum Left Hand Rifle

The Weatherby Mark V Backcountry 6.5-300 Weatherby Magnum left-hand rifle represents a purpose-built platform for hunters and precision shooters who demand lightweight performance across extended ranges and challenging terrain. This left-hand configuration addresses a critical gap in the modern rifle market, delivering ambidextrous functionality without compromise to ergonomics or control. Engineered for backcountry hunters who traverse steep elevation changes and cover significant distances, this rifle combines the ballistic authority of the 6.5-300 Weatherby Magnum with the refined engineering standards Weatherby has maintained across six generations of the Mark V platform.

The 6.5-300 Weatherby Magnum cartridge delivers velocity and energy superior to standard magnum offerings, pushing premium 6.5mm projectiles to velocities exceeding 3,200 feet per second—enabling consistent long-range accuracy beyond 500 yards while maintaining terminal performance across varied game. The Backcountry designation indicates a sub-8-pound rifle weight (approximately 7.25 pounds in practical field trim), achieved through a fluted barrel profile and optimized receiver design that reduces fatigue on extended hunts without sacrificing rigidity. The left-hand bolt throw, ejection, and safety manipulation accommodate southpaw shooters with identical ergonomic precision as right-hand models, critical for consistent cheek weld, trigger control, and reliable extraction under field conditions.

This rifle serves left-handed hunters, precision rifle competitors, and tactical shooters who refuse to compromise on platform quality or ergonomic fit. The 48.13-inch overall length provides maneuverability in dense cover and vehicle transport while maintaining adequate sight radius and barrel length for maximum cartridge efficiency. The Weatherby Mark V Backcountry 6.5-300 Weatherby Magnum left-hand model accepts standard Weatherby scope bases and rings, integrating seamlessly into modern hunting setups paired with contemporary glass. Federal Firearms License required for purchase and shipment in accordance with ATF regulations.
