The Weatherby Mark V Backcountry Guide Ti chambered in .308 Winchester (Weatherby part no. MGT01N308NR2B) pairs a titanium Mark V action with a versatile, widely available hunting cartridge to build one of the lightest .308 rifles a hunter can sling over a shoulder for a mountain hunt. The 20-inch barrel is rifled at 1-in-10 to stabilize standard .308 Win bullet weights, and a 4+1 capacity keeps the action fed without adding bulk. A two-position safety keeps the manual of arms simple when a shot opportunity is brief. As a Weatherby titanium build, this rifle is aimed at backcountry hunters who count every ounce without wanting to give up a proven cartridge.
