[QUOTE="OldElkHunter1961, post: 2414048, member: 121205"] It seems many are missing point. It's not about the 6.5 RPM cartridge alone or the MK V Backcountry alone. It's about the combination. The RPM bests many new/new'ish 6.5 rounds ballistics and the Backcountry is lighter than many other mountain rifles. But having the RPM's reach in the Backcountry package in combination is the selling point. Yes, I bought one and killed an elk with it in September of '21. I'd previously killed elk for a decade with a Kimber Montana in .300WM. I've always been a CRF guy. But, I doubt I'll carry the Kimber again unless I'm in serious grizzly country. The new Weatherby "package" is a high performance winner. As always to each their own. Enjoy the hunt and the process leading to it. [/QUOTE]
