Starting at just 4.7 lbs the Mark V® Backcountry 2.0 Ti was purpose-built to be the best lightweight mountain rifle on the market. It features Peak 44’s Blacktooth carbon fiber stock. This stock weighs only 19oz making it one of the lightest production stocks on the market. Equipped with an Accubreak and 3D Hex Recoil pad, the Backcountry 2.0 series manages recoil extremely well even with Weatherby’s historic magnum cartridges. The titanium action has an incredible strength-to-weight ratio cutting even more weight than the standard steel action. When ounces and accuracy matter grab the Backcountry Ti.

The lightest/fastest hunting rifle on the market
Starting at just 4.7 lbs and 4.9 lbs in magnum chamberings, this is the lightest in the Backcountry 2.0 family. When chambered in 6.5 WBY RPM, it holds the crown as the lightest/fastest hunting rifle on the market. Still equipped with a super thin and lightweight fluted barrel. The contours are at a #1 MOD or #2 MOD depending on the chambering.
The most noticeable upgrade is the new carbon fiber Peak 44™ Blacktooth™ stock, the lightest versions of which tip the scales at under 20 ounces. Also grabbing the eye is the second generation 3DHEX® recoil pad, the first production 3D printed pad the firearms world has seen. Hidden inside the pad are a series of interlocking voids that progressively collapse during recoil. This deadens the sharp kick of magnum chamberings.
More pronounced spiral fluting on the bolt body not only trims a little weight, it also reduces bearing surface within the action and results in even smoother function. The newly-threaded bolt handle is equipped with a lightweight aluminum extended and skeletonized knob.
Fit with the highly-effective Accubrake® ST, with 30 symmetrically-spaced ports that help harness the recoil. The Accubrake ST tames even magnum chamberings and makes them pleasant to shoot.
Weatherby Mark V Backcountry 2.0 Ti Features:
- Sub MOA Accuracy: All Mark V rifles have a guarantee to shoot a 3-shot group of .99″ or less at 100yards (SUB-MOA) from a cold barrel with premium ammunition within two years of purchase date.
- TriggerTech Trigger: TriggerTech’s Trigger provides true creep break, extremely short over-travel, and is externally adjustable (down to 2.5lbs). Precision cut stainless steal components ensure consistent trigger pulls from shot to shot. This creates a safe, reliable, and corrosion resistant package.
- Accubrake ST: By adding an Accubrake St you will significantly reduce felt recoil up to 53%. Available in four different barrel diameters, with thread protector, for a perfect brake-to-barrel contour.
- 54 Degree Bolt: The shortest in the industry (as compared to a typical 90 bolt throw). Allows for faster chambering on follow-up shots and greater bolt-to-scope clearance.
- Deep Fluted Bolt: A larger radius, deeper flute not only trims a bit more weight from the bolt body of the Mark V. This also increases the smoothness with which the bolt can cycle.
- Carbon Fibre Stock: Sourced from peak 44, this stock has the distinction of being the lightest production aerospace-grade carbon fibre stock on the market. Industry leading manufacturing techniques, patented bedding technology and the addition of the 3DHEX recoil-reducing buttpad. This means this is one of the most advanced lightweight stocks to date.
- Titanium Receiver: Titanium properties present 42% the weight of traditional steel which provides maximum weight savings for the hunter looking to save every ounce while maintaining structural integrity.
- 3DHEX Recoil Reducer: Large calibre felt recoil dissipation provided in the lightest recoil reducer available. 3DHEX is a patent pending high strength energy diffusing lattice structure designed to distribute specific directional forces and reduce muzzle lift.
- Cerakote: Cerakote is the industry leading thin-film ceramic coating. The cerakote unique formula enhances physical properties including wear, corrosion, and chemical resistance white improving impact strengths, and hardness.
- Removable Bolt Knob: Allowing for customisation and utility. The bolt handle of the Mark V is now threaded to accept a variety of bolt knobs.
