Still equipped with a super thin and lightweight fluted barrel it is contoured at a #1 MOD or #2 MOD depending on the chambering. – The most noticeable upgrade is the new carbon fiber Peak 44 Blacktooth stock the lightest versions of which tip the scales at under 20 ounces. – Also grabbing the eye is the second generation 3DHEX recoil pad the first production 3D printed pad the firearms world has seen. Hidden inside the pad are a series of interlocking voids that progressively collapse during recoil expanding the time component of the recoil impulse and deadening the sharp kick of magnum chamberings. – More pronounced spiral fluting on the bolt body not only trims a little weight it also reduces bearing surface within the action and results in even smoother function. The newly-threaded bolt handle is equipped with a lightweight aluminum extended and skeletonized knob. – Fit with Weatherby’s highly-effective Accubrake ST this brake is blended to match the profile of the muzzle. With 30 symmetrically-spaced ports that help harness the recoil it tames even magnum chamberings and makes them pleasant to shoot. – Starting at just 5.2 lbs and 5.4 lbs in magnum chamberings the Backcountry 2.0 also sports an updated paint scheme with action and barrel protected by a Cerakote shell of Patriot Brown with the stock carrying a brown and green pattern over exposed carbon fiber. – Built to be the lightest possible rifle and chambered in some of the world’s fastest cartridges the Backcountry 2.0 is a worthy successor to the throne. – Fluted Barrel / Trigger Guard / Receiver: Patriot Brown Cerakote – Bolt / Bolt Knob / Safety: Graphite Black Cerakote – Stock: Peak 44 Blacktooth Carbon fiber with dark green and brown sponge pattern accents
