Overview
The Weatherby Mark V Backcountry Ti is an ultralight titanium-action mountain rifle in Weatherby's Backcountry 2.0 Ti family, pairing a titanium Mark V receiver (roughly 42 percent the weight of steel) with a fluted barrel and the Peak 44 Blacktooth carbon-fiber stock to reach a starting weight around 4.7 pounds. It features a 54-degree bolt throw, a TriggerTech trigger, an included Accubrake ST muzzle brake, and a Graphite Black Cerakote finish. Chambered in 6.5 Creedmoor and a wide range of Weatherby and standard cartridges, it is aimed at weight-conscious backcountry and mountain hunters.
