Chambered in the Classic .308 Winchester
Trusted for decades, the .308 Win cartridge offers exceptional versatility, manageable recoil, and proven takedown power on a wide variety of North American game. From whitetail and mule deer to wild hogs and black bear, the .308 Winchester brings dependable ballistic performance in a lightweight field rifle platform.
With a 5+1 capacity and a premium 24" barrel, the Backcountry 2.0 maximizes velocity, accuracy, and downrange energy—all while maintaining its featherweight profile.
Ultra-Quiet, Ultra-Comfortable Recoil Absorption
Weatherby pays close attention to shooter comfort with the Backcountry 2.0. The rifle includes:
3DHEX® Recoil Pad
A next-generation recoil pad engineered with a 3D-printed polymer lattice that significantly reduces felt recoil. This makes the .308 Win even more enjoyable to shoot, especially during long range sessions or repeated firing.
Accubrake® ST
The included muzzle brake further softens recoil while maintaining muzzle control—perfect for quick follow-up shots or high-precision shooting.
These combined technologies make the Backcountry 2.0 one of the softest-shooting, ultra-light rifles available today.
