Description
Left-handed hunters usually get the short end of the stick when it comes to premium mountain rifles, so it says something that Weatherby built the Backcountry Guide Ti in a dedicated southpaw configuration. This one is chambered in 6.5 Creedmoor, a cartridge that has earned its keep on deer, antelope, and sheep hunts with mild recoil and excellent downrange manners. The heart of the rifle is a titanium Mark V action machined in Sheridan, Wyoming, and that material choice trims real weight compared to steel while shrugging off the wet, nasty conditions that come with hunting above the treeline.
What Makes the Guide Ti Different
The 22 inch BSF barrel starts as a 416R stainless match blank, then gets sleeved in carbon fiber and loaded under tension for stiffness without the pounds. It is fluted, threaded 5/8×24, and wears a machined titanium Accubrake ST from the factory, so you can run the brake, swap on a suppressor, or go bare muzzle depending on the hunt. A 1:8 twist stabilizes the heavy, high-BC 6.5mm bullets this cartridge is known for. The TriggerTech trigger breaks clean with zero creep and adjusts externally, and the classic Mark V 54 degree bolt throw gets you back on target fast with plenty of scope clearance.
A Backcountry Guide Ti Built to Be Carried
Peak 44's Blacktooth stock is the other half of the story. It is a legitimately light carbon fiber stock with a bedding block that ties the recoil lug directly into the shell, plus a 3DHex recoil pad that spreads the push out over time. Weatherby also installs two Spartan Precision gunsmithing adapters in the forend, so ultralight bipods and tripod mounts click right on without adding a rail. Each stock is hand painted with carbide black sponge accents, so no two look quite alike.
Every one of these rifles ships with Weatherby's sub-MOA guarantee, a 4+1 capacity, and no sights, so plan on a quality scope and lightweight rings. Add glass and you have a left-handed rig that will not wear you out on the way in or let you down when it matters.

Frequently Asked Questions
How much does the Mark V Backcountry Guide Ti weigh?
The Guide Ti series starts at 5.1 pounds, with exact weight varying slightly by chambering. The 6.5 Creedmoor version sits at the light end of the lineup thanks to the compact six-lug titanium action and carbon fiber barrel. Even with a scope mounted, most setups stay well under 7 pounds, which is what you want on a mountain hunt.
Is the Backcountry Guide Ti suppressor ready?
Yes. The 22 inch barrel is threaded 5/8×24, and the titanium Accubrake ST simply unscrews so you can spin on a can. The whole point of the Guide series running shorter barrels is to keep overall length manageable with a suppressor attached, and 6.5 Creedmoor suppresses very nicely.
Does this rifle come with a scope or sights?
No, it ships without sights, and the receiver is set up for scope mounts. Given the sub-MOA guarantee and the flat-shooting nature of 6.5 Creedmoor, it deserves quality glass. Stick with lightweight rings and a reasonably sized scope so you do not undo the weight savings Weatherby worked so hard for.
What are the Spartan Precision adapters in the stock for?
Weatherby factory installs two Spartan gunsmithing adapters in the forend of the Peak 44 Blacktooth stock. They let you attach Spartan's ultralight magnetic bipods and tripod accessories directly, no extra rails or hardware needed. If you shoot off sticks or a bipod in the field, it is a genuinely handy feature.
