Description

Left-handed hunters get overlooked a lot in the lightweight rifle world, so it's worth paying attention when Weatherby builds a rifle like this. The Mark V Backcountry Guide in 6.5 Creedmoor comes in a genuine left-hand configuration, wrapped around the legendary Mark V action with its fast 54 degree bolt lift and buttery cycling. At 5.6 pounds bare, this is the kind of rifle you stop noticing on the pack until it's time to go to work.

Carbon Fiber Where It Counts on the Backcountry Guide

The 22 inch BSF carbon fiber barrel is the centerpiece here. Rather than simply wrapping steel in carbon, BSF tensions a carbon sleeve around a match grade 416R stainless core with an air gap running nearly the full length, which helps the barrel shed heat quickly and stay consistent as you shoot. The muzzle is threaded 5/8×24 and wears Weatherby's Accubrake ST from the factory, and the shorter barrel length makes this rifle a natural fit for running a suppressor without ending up with a pole vault. A 1:8 twist stabilizes the full range of heavy, high BC 6.5 Creedmoor bullets that made this cartridge famous.

The Peak 44 Blacktooth Stock Earns Its Keep

The Blacktooth carbon fiber stock keeps weight down without feeling fragile, and it comes with Spartan Precision gunsmithing adapters installed at the factory, so you can snap on Spartan's magnetic bipods and accessories without any drilling or fitting. The 3DHex recoil pad uses a honeycomb structure that soaks up recoil impressively well, though in 6.5 Creedmoor with the brake attached, this rifle is already a pleasure to shoot.

Setting Up Your Mark V Guide for the Field

The receiver ships drilled and tapped with no sights, so pick a lightweight scope that matches the rifle's mission and keep the whole package trim. With a 4+1 capacity, Graphite Black Cerakote metalwork, and a 42 inch overall length, this is a purpose-built mountain gun for the southpaw who's tired of running a right-handed bolt.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is the Weatherby Mark V Backcountry Guide LH a true left-handed rifle?

Yes, this is a genuine left-hand Mark V action, not just a right-handed rifle with a flipped safety. The bolt handle and port are on the left side, so southpaws can cycle the action naturally without reaching over the receiver. Weatherby offers the Backcountry Guide in left hand for a handful of chamberings, and 6.5 Creedmoor is one of them.

Can I run a suppressor on the Mark V Backcountry Guide?

Absolutely, and it's one of the reasons the Guide series exists. The muzzle is threaded 5/8×24, which matches most common rifle suppressors, and the 22 inch barrel keeps overall length manageable once a can is attached. Just remove the factory Accubrake ST and thread on your suppressor.

What makes the BSF carbon fiber barrel different from a regular barrel?

BSF tensions a carbon fiber sleeve around a match grade 416R stainless steel barrel with an air gap between the two materials over most of the barrel's length. That design promotes faster cooling and helps the barrel maintain consistency through strings of fire. You get near heavy-barrel stiffness at a fraction of the weight, which is how this rifle comes in at 5.6 pounds.

Does the Backcountry Guide come with a scope or sights?

No, the rifle ships without sights, but the receiver comes drilled and tapped from the factory so mounting a scope is straightforward. Given the light weight of this rifle, most hunters pair it with a compact, lightweight optic to keep the whole setup easy to carry. The stock also includes factory-installed Spartan Precision adapters for their magnetic bipods and accessories.
