The Weatherby Mark V Backcountry 2.0 Ti 6.5-300 Weatherby Magnum Rifle is a bolt-action rifle chambered in 6.5-300 Weatherby Magnum, set up with a 26-inch barrel and a factory muzzle brake (brand part no. MBT20N653WR8B). It swaps the steel receiver for a titanium Mark V action and adds a Peak 44 Blacktooth carbon fiber stock, which makes it the lightest rifle in the Backcountry 2.0 family according to the maker. A TriggerTech trigger, a 54-degree bolt throw and a 3DHEX recoil pad round it out. It holds 3+1 rounds and uses a 1-in-8 twist, which makes it a fit for backcountry hunts where weight matters most.
