Backcountry Carbon Fiber (Copy)
The Backcountry Hunter Barreled Actions from Preferred Barrel Blanks are purpose-built for hunters seeking performance without compromise—lightweight, balanced, and consistently accurate in every condition. Each pairing of a Kelbly Atlas Lite receiver and our 50/50 carbon-fiber Heavy-Palma barrel delivers the perfect blend of strength, precision, and field-ready handling. The result is a hunting platform that feels alive in the hands—steady on target, easy to carry, and relentlessly consistent when the shot counts.
Chamber options to cover nearly every hunting scenario—from flat-shooting varmint and predator rounds like 22 Creedmoor and 6mm Creedmoor, to versatile all-around performers such as 6.5 Creedmoor and 25 Creedmoor, and hard-hitting long-range choices including 6.5 PRC, 7 PRC, and 300 PRC.
