Weight is the tax you pay on every mile of a backcountry hunt, and the Mark V Backcountry Guide was built to lower it. Weatherby wrapped a match-grade 416R stainless barrel in a tensioned BSF carbon fiber sleeve, then dropped it into Peak 44's Blacktooth stock, one of the lightest production carbon fiber stocks you can buy. The result in 6.5 Creedmoor is a rifle in the mid five pound range that still carries Weatherby's sub-MOA guarantee with factory ammo. The 22 inch barrel keeps the whole package quick in timber and easy to run with a suppressor thanks to the 5/8×24 threaded muzzle, which ships wearing a machined titanium Accubrake ST.
The details here read like a custom build sheet. The deeply spiral fluted bolt trims weight and smooths out an already slick Mark V action, and the short 54 degree bolt throw gives you plenty of scope clearance while letting you cycle fast for follow-ups. The externally adjustable TriggerTech trigger lets you dial the pull to your liking, which matters a lot on a rifle this light. The two-position safety locks the bolt down when engaged, a smart touch when you're crawling through deadfall. Rounds feed from a 4+1 hinged floorplate, and every exposed metal surface wears graphite black Cerakote to shrug off weather.
The Blacktooth stock does more than save ounces. Its carbon fiber bedding block engages the front recoil lug and sends recoil energy into the stock's outer shell, and the 3DHex recoil pad's honeycomb structure spreads that push out over time. Between the pad and the brake, a 6.5 Creedmoor this light stays remarkably pleasant to shoot. Weatherby also factory installs two Spartan Precision gunsmithing adapters in the forend, so ultralight bipods and tripods click right on with no gunsmithing.
With a 1:8 twist stabilizing everything from light varmint loads to heavy match bullets, this rifle handles range days as well as it handles elk ridges. Built in Sheridan, Wyoming, it brings custom-shop features to a production rifle you can hunt with this season.
The 6.5 Creedmoor version comes in around 5.6 pounds bare, which puts it firmly in true mountain rifle territory. The carbon fiber barrel, spiral-fluted bolt, and 19-ounce Peak 44 Blacktooth stock are where most of that weight savings comes from. Even with a scope mounted, most setups stay well under 8 pounds.
Yes. The muzzle is threaded 5/8×24, which is the standard pattern for most 6.5mm and .30 caliber suppressors and muzzle devices. Just spin off the included Accubrake ST and thread on your can. The shorter 22 inch barrel was chosen partly to keep overall length manageable with a suppressor attached.
It does. Weatherby guarantees a sub-MOA 3-shot group at 100 yards from a cold barrel using Weatherby factory or premium factory ammunition. Independent testing of this model has backed that up, with the tensioned BSF carbon barrel helping dampen vibration for consistent groups.
Yes, the Backcountry Guide ships with an externally adjustable TriggerTech trigger, so you can fine tune the pull weight without pulling the action out of the stock. It breaks clean with minimal creep, which makes a real difference when shooting a rifle this light from field positions.
