Frequently asked questions

Does this rifle come with iron sights or picatinny rail?

The Mark V Backcountry 2 ships with a picatinny rail for mounting optics. Iron sights are not included; you'll need to add a scope or red dot system separately.

How much does the 338 RPM cartridge recoil compared to standard magnums?

The 338 RPM generates moderate recoil for its velocity class. Muzzle brakes and quality stocks help manage recoil impulse, though magnum cartridges always demand proper shooting technique and support.

What is an FFL transfer in California?

An FFL transfer is when a federally-licensed dealer like TacticCAL receives a firearm shipped from another seller and processes California's required DROS paperwork to legally transfer it to you. TacticCAL is your gun store San Mateo in the Bay Area.
