Weatherby 257 Wthby Mag 26" 3+1 (Bolt) MCT20N257WR8B

The next generation of the ground-breaking backcountry family, the Backcountry 2.0 Ti Carbon combines Weatherby's incredibly popular tensioned carbon fiber barrel with the supremely lightweight and strong titanium Weatherby Mark V action. The most noticeable upgrade is the carbon fiber Peak 44 Blacktooth stock, the lightest versions of which tip the scales at under 20 ounces. It features a 3DHEX recoil pad, 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.

The lightweight fluted barrel utilizes Weatherby's Accubrake ST, while more pronounced spiral fluting on the bolt body not only trims a little weight but 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. 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.

With a bolt action, caliber of 257 Wthby Mag, and a barrel length of 26 inches, this rifle offers a capacity of 3+1 and features a manual thumb safety. The overall length is 48 inches, with a stock description of Peak 44 Blacktooth and a twist rate of 1:10 inches. The carbon fiber wrapped barrel and Accubrake ST muzzle enhance performance, while the titanium receiver material ensures durability. The rifle is drilled and tapped for sights and is designed for right-hand use with a black stock finish group.
