Weatherby Mark V Backcountry

This is the ultimate mountain companion for hunters who measure success by how far they can hike. By stripping away every ounce of unnecessary weight, it makes long, rugged treks significantly easier, though you’ll have to get used to the sharper recoil that comes with such a featherweight build.
