Titanium-actioned Mark V with carbon fiber stock under 20 oz, fluted barrel, Accubrake ST, and 3DHEX recoil pad. Graphite Black Cerakote finish, 26" barrel, 3+1 capacity.
The Backcountry 2.0 Ti represents the pinnacle of modern lightweight magnum rifle design. Built on Weatherby's legendary Mark V action, this rifle strips away unnecessary weight while maintaining the strength and reliability that have made the Mark V a standard-bearer for generations.
Titanium Action: The heart of this rifle is a titanium-bodied Mark V action. Titanium's exceptional strength-to-weight ratio means you get the same robust performance as traditional steel with measurably less heft. This is particularly valuable in backcountry hunting where every ounce matters over long days afield.
The Peak 44 Blacktooth carbon fiber stock is engineered for weight savings, with the lightest versions tipping the scales at under 20 ounces. The stock features a 3DHEX recoil pad—a sophisticated engineering solution that uses interlocking voids to progressively collapse during recoil. This design expands the time component of the recoil impulse, effectively deadening the sharp kick characteristic of magnum cartridges.
Fluted Barrel: The lightweight fluted barrel is crowned with Weatherby's Accubrake ST muzzle brake, reducing felt recoil and muzzle rise without adding excessive weight.
Bolt Refinement: Pronounced spiral fluting on the bolt body serves dual purposes—it trims weight and reduces bearing surface within the action, resulting in noticeably smoother operation and faster cycling.
This is a rifle built for serious hunters who understand that in the mountains, lighter is better—as long as it doesn't compromise reliability or accuracy.
