The next step in the Mark V lineup
\nBuilding on the popularity of the ground-breaking Backcountry 2.0 series, the High Country takes the next step in the Mark V lineup adding a lightweight vertical grip option. The Peak 44™ Bastion™ is a vertical grip carbon fiber stock that weighs in at just 24 ounces making it one of the lightest vertical grip stocks on the market today. The Bastion features dual front swivel studs to allow for multiple attachments and the recoil-reducing 3DHEX\u00ae 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.<\/p>\n
The High Country is built on the classic steel Weatherby\u00ae Mark V\u00ae action and is equipped with a lightweight spiral fluted barrel. Spiral fluting helps cut weight and can help with heat management. Spiral fluting on the bolt body not only trims a little weight but it also reduces bearing surface within the action and results in a smoother function. The threaded bolt handle is equipped with a lightweight skeletonized knob.<\/p>\n
The spiral fluted barrel is threaded and fitted with Weatherby\u2019s highly-effective Accubrake\u00ae ST. With 30 symmetrically-spaced ports that help harness the recoil, it tames even magnum chamberings and makes them pleasant to shoot.<\/p>\n
