The Weatherby Mark V Backcountry 2.0 Ti rifle in .280 Ackley Improved with a 24-inch barrel (brand part no. MBT20N280AR6B) is built around the supremely lightweight and strong titanium Weatherby Mark V action. Weatherby fits the rifle with a super-thin, lightweight fluted barrel, and the newly threaded bolt handle carries a lightweight aluminum extended, skeletonized knob for smooth, fast cycling. The second-generation 3DHEX recoil pad is the first production 3D-printed pad in the firearms world, using interlocking voids that progressively collapse during recoil to deaden the kick of magnum-class chamberings. Weatherby’s Accubrake ST, blended to match the muzzle profile, uses 30 symmetrically spaced ports to further tame recoil, and the action is left as raw titanium while the barrel and bolt wear a black ceramic Cerakote shell. Among titanium-action precision hunting rifles in the bolt action rifles category, this Backcountry 2.0 Ti configuration favors hunters chasing minimal carry weight in a harder-hitting chambering.

Frequently Asked Questions

How does the 3DHEX recoil pad reduce felt recoil? Interlocking voids inside the pad progressively collapse during recoil, expanding the time component of the recoil impulse.
