Steve, yes the 2.0 is still equipped with a super thin and lightweight fluted barrel, it is contoured at a #1 MOD. You can see all specs here >>>> https://weatherby.com/store/mark-v-backcountry-2-0/ ....Have a great day!

Steve, yes, for sub-MOA accuracy this has a #1 contour, fluted 24in match stainless steel barrel with a 1:8 twist that provides the precision you need. The perceived recoil is further reduced by the Accubrake ST muzzle brake. Hope this helps.

Yes, it does have a Fluted barrel.

Steve, yes Sir, this version comes equipped with a 24" Fluted #1 Contour Barrel with a 1:8 Twist Rate & Accubrake ST Muzzle Brake . The Rifle also has a Spiral Fluted Bolt w/Threaded Bolt Handle. Cheers and stay safe!
