Weatherby's Mark V action is one of the strongest bolt actions ever produced, with its distinctive nine-lug bolt and 54-degree lift that clears scopes and shortens the stroke. The Backcountry line applies that action to a lightweight, weather-resistant build aimed at hunters who cover ground on foot.

This one is a left-hand rifle chambered in 6.5 Creedmoor with a 22-inch barrel and a gray finish, a combination that keeps recoil light and accuracy excellent while remaining genuinely carryable. Left-hand shooters rarely get first-tier options in a lightweight mountain rifle, which makes this one worth noting.
