The Weatherby Mark V Backcountry 2.0 Ti Carbon rifle in 6.5mm Creedmoor with a 22-inch barrel and a 4+1 capacity (brand part no. MCT20N65CMR4B) combines Weatherby’s popular tensioned carbon fiber barrel with the supremely lightweight and strong titanium Weatherby Mark V action. Weatherby fits the rifle with the carbon fiber Peak 44 Blacktooth stock, the lightest versions of which tip the scales at under 20 ounces, and the 3DHEX recoil pad uses interlocking voids that progressively collapse during recoil to deaden the kick of magnum-class chamberings. More pronounced spiral fluting on the bolt body trims weight and reduces bearing surface for smoother function, and the newly threaded bolt handle carries a lightweight aluminum, skeletonized knob. Among titanium-action carbon-barreled rifles in the bolt action rifles category, this Backcountry 2.0 Ti Carbon configuration favors hunters who want the lightest possible build without giving up 6.5mm Creedmoor’s proven accuracy.

Frequently Asked Questions

What does the carbon fiber barrel add over a standard steel barrel? It reduces weight while the tensioning process helps maintain accuracy and manage heat during rapid strings of fire.

How does the 3DHEX recoil pad work? Interlocking voids inside the pad progressively collapse during recoil, expanding the time component of the impulse and softening the kick.
