Description
Left-handed hunters rarely get first pick of the good stuff, so it says something that Weatherby built the Backcountry 2.0 Ti as a genuine left-hand rifle in .240 Weatherby Magnum. This is the lightest rifle in the Backcountry 2.0 family, coming in around 4.9 pounds before you hang a scope on it. The weight savings start with the titanium Mark V receiver, which gives up nothing in strength to steel while shaving serious ounces, and continue through the thin-contour 24 inch fluted barrel and the Peak 44 Blacktooth stock, one of the lightest production carbon fiber stocks you can buy at roughly 19 ounces.
Why the Backcountry Ti2 Earns Its Spot on the Pack
The .240 Weatherby Magnum is a sleeper of a cartridge, pushing 6mm bullets fast and flat, which makes it a joy on deer, antelope, and coyotes without beating you up. Not that recoil is much of a concern here anyway. The factory-installed Accubrake ST uses 30 symmetrically spaced ports to knock down felt recoil, and the 3DHEX printed recoil pad soaks up what's left with interlocking voids that collapse progressively under recoil. Add the 54 degree bolt throw for fast cycling and extra scope clearance, plus a TriggerTech trigger with a zero-creep break, and you get a rifle that is quick to run and easy to shoot well.
Built for Weather, Backed by a Guarantee
The raw titanium action shows off its machining while the barrel and bolt wear Graphite Black Cerakote, and the bare carbon stock with grey and white sponge accents shrugs off rain and rough handling. The receiver comes drilled and tapped, ready for your mount of choice. Like every Mark V, this one carries Weatherby's sub-MOA guarantee: a three-shot group of .99 inch or better at 100 yards with Weatherby factory or premium ammo. For the southpaw who counts ounces on mountain hunts, this rifle checks every box.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is the Mark V Backcountry Ti2 a true left-hand rifle or just a left-hand stock?
It's the real deal. The bolt handle, bolt operation, and ejection port are all set up on the left side, so a lefty can run the action naturally without reaching over the receiver. Weatherby is one of the few makers that builds proper left-hand versions across most of its Mark V lineup.
What is the .240 Weatherby Magnum best suited for?
It's a fast, flat-shooting 6mm cartridge that shines on deer, antelope, and predators at extended ranges. Recoil is mild to begin with, and between the Accubrake ST and the 3DHEX recoil pad, this rifle is genuinely pleasant to shoot. It's a great pick for hunters who want reach without the punishment of a bigger magnum.
Does the Backcountry Ti2 come with sights or a scope rail?
No sights or rail are included. The titanium receiver comes drilled and tapped from the factory, so you just need to add bases or a rail and rings for your optic. Given how light this rifle is, most owners pair it with a lightweight scope and mounts to keep the whole setup trim.
How accurate is the Weatherby Backcountry 2.0 Ti out of the box?
Every Mark V rifle carries Weatherby's sub-MOA guarantee, meaning a three-shot group of .99 inch or less at 100 yards from a cold barrel with Weatherby factory or premium ammunition. The TriggerTech trigger breaks clean with no creep, which makes it easier to get everything out of that thin fluted barrel. Owners regularly report groups well under the guarantee once they find a load the rifle likes.
