The Weatherby Mark V Backcountry Ti2 .243 Winchester Rifle from Weatherby combines a titanium receiver with a carbon fiber stock to shed every unnecessary ounce on a backcountry hunt (Weatherby part no. MBT20N243NR4B). The mild-recoiling .243 Winchester makes this an easy-shooting rifle for hunters covering long miles after deer, antelope, or predators. Titanium cuts significant weight from the action compared to steel, and the carbon fiber stock keeps the rest of the rifle just as light without sacrificing rigidity. A 22-inch barrel and 1-in-10 twist rate are matched to standard .243 bullet weights, and the 5+1 capacity gives a spare round over many hunting rifles in this class. This is a rifle built to be carried all day, not just fired from a bench.
