Description
There are lightweight rifles, and then there is the Mark V Backcountry 2.0 Ti. Weatherby machines the famous Mark V action from titanium and leaves it raw so you can see the tooling work, then seals the fluted 24 inch barrel and spiral-fluted bolt under Graphite Black Cerakote. Bolted into a Peak 44 Blacktooth carbon fiber stock that weighs a scant 19 ounces, the whole package starts at 4.7 pounds, making it the featherweight of the entire Backcountry 2.0 lineup. When you are climbing into thin air with a full pack, that missing weight is something you feel every single mile.
Why the Backcountry 2.0 Ti Earns Its Keep in .240 Weatherby
The .240 Weatherby Magnum is one of the great sleeper cartridges, a hot-rodded 6mm that pushes bullets fast and shoots wonderfully flat. It is a natural fit for pronghorn, deer, and open-country work where wind and distance are the real challenges. The 24 inch tube gives the cartridge room to stretch its legs, and the factory-installed Accubrake ST, with its 30 symmetrically spaced ports, takes an already mild-mannered round and makes it downright pleasant. Weatherby's 3DHEX recoil pad helps too, using 3D printed internal voids that collapse progressively to spread the recoil impulse out over time.
Mark V Backcountry Ti 2.0 Details That Matter
A TriggerTech trigger delivers a clean, zero-creep break that is externally adjustable, and the aggressive spiral fluting on the bolt trims weight while reducing bearing surface for a slicker throw. The threaded bolt handle wears a skeletonized aluminum knob that is easy to run with gloves on. Capacity is 5+1, the receiver comes drilled and tapped for your optic of choice, and the bare carbon stock with grey and white sponge accents looks as good as it carries. Like every Mark V, it is backed by Weatherby's sub-MOA guarantee with factory or premium ammunition, so the accuracy is not just talk. For the hunter who wants one serious mountain rifle, this one is tough to beat.

Frequently Asked Questions
How much does the Mark V Backcountry 2.0 Ti weigh?
This is the lightest model in the Backcountry 2.0 family, starting at just 4.7 pounds bare in standard chamberings. The titanium action, 19 ounce Peak 44 Blacktooth carbon stock, fluted barrel, and skeletonized bolt knob all pitch in on the weight savings. Even fully scoped, it will come in lighter than many rifles do with nothing on them.
What is the .240 Weatherby Magnum good for?
It is a fast 6mm cartridge that shoots very flat and hits harder than its recoil suggests. It is a favorite for pronghorn, whitetail, and mule deer in open country, and it doubles nicely on coyotes and other predators. Weatherby also updated the twist rate for this chambering to 1:7.5 on newer production, which stabilizes heavier, higher-BC bullets for longer shots.
Does the Backcountry 2.0 Ti come with a sub-MOA guarantee?
Yes. Weatherby guarantees Mark V rifles will print a 3-shot group of .99 inches or less at 100 yards from a cold barrel using Weatherby factory or premium ammunition, within two years of verified purchase by the original owner. Between the TriggerTech trigger and the rigid titanium action, this rifle has the hardware to back that up.
Does this rifle include sights or a scope mount?
No sights come installed, which is typical for a dedicated hunting rifle in this class. The receiver is drilled and tapped, so you can add the bases or rail of your choice and mount an optic. Given how flat the .240 Weatherby shoots, a quality variable scope is the natural pairing.
