The Weatherby Mark V Backcountry Ti2 .280 Ackley Improved Left-Hand Rifle from Weatherby pairs a titanium receiver with a carbon fiber stock, built specifically for left-handed hunters who want to shed weight before a long climb (Weatherby part no. MBT20N280AL6B). The .280 Ackley Improved cartridge takes the standard .280 Remington case and sharpens the shoulder for more powder capacity and higher velocity, giving hunters extra reach on elk and other big game. A 24-inch barrel and 1-in-9 twist rate are matched to the heavier bullets this cartridge is known for, and the 4+1 capacity keeps the rifle light without giving up a spare round. Titanium and carbon fiber construction make this one of the lightest true left-hand rifles a mountain hunter can carry.
