There are lightweight rifles that feel like a compromise, and then there is the Mark V Backcountry Guide. Weatherby built this one in Sheridan, Wyoming around their 6-lug Mark V action, and in 6.5 Weatherby RPM it comes in around 5.6 pounds bare. The 6.5 RPM cartridge was designed specifically to squeeze magnum performance out of this trim action, pushing 140 grain bullets in the 3,000 to 3,100 fps range with muzzle energy approaching 3,000 foot pounds. That's real reach for elk country without hauling a full-size magnum up the mountain.
The barrel is a BSF carbon fiber unit, a 416R stainless match blank sleeved in carbon and loaded under tension for stiffness and quick cooling. The 24 inch length includes the machined titanium Accubrake ST on the 5/8-24 threaded muzzle, which knocks felt recoil down dramatically and is easy to swap for a suppressor. Cycling is slick thanks to the deep spiral-fluted bolt and the Mark V's famous 54 degree throw, the shortest in the business, which keeps your knuckles clear of the scope on fast follow-ups. The externally adjustable TriggerTech trigger breaks clean with zero creep, and every Mark V carries Weatherby's sub-MOA guarantee with factory or premium ammo.
The Peak 44 Blacktooth stock is one of the lightest carbon fiber stocks in production, with a carbon bedding block that transfers recoil straight to the shell and a 3DHex recoil pad that collapses like a honeycomb to turn the kick into a push. Weatherby also installs two Spartan Precision gunsmith adapters in the forend from the factory, so you can snap a magnetic Spartan bipod on and off in seconds without adding hardware. Each stock is hand painted, so no two look quite alike. Feeding comes from a 4+1 hinged floorplate setup, and the whole package runs 42 inches overall. If your hunts involve more climbing than driving, this rifle earns its spot on your shoulder.
The 24 inch figure is the total length including the factory-installed 2 inch Accubrake ST, so the carbon fiber barrel itself measures 22 inches. Weatherby went shorter on the Guide series on purpose, making the rifle handier in thick timber and easier to run with a suppressor. Velocity loss from the shorter tube is minimal in real-world testing.
The 6.5 Wby RPM (Rebated Precision Magnum) was designed to wring magnum-level performance out of Weatherby's lightweight 6-lug Mark V action. It pushes 140 grain bullets around 3,000 to 3,100 fps with muzzle energy near 3,000 foot pounds. That makes it a legitimate deer, antelope, and elk cartridge with a flat trajectory for longer field shots.
Yes. Like all Mark V rifles, it is guaranteed to print a 3-shot group of .99 inches or less at 100 yards from a cold barrel when fed Weatherby factory or premium ammunition. The guarantee applies for two years from the verified purchase date to the original purchaser.
That's one of the best parts of this rifle. Weatherby installs two Spartan Precision gunsmith adapters directly into the Peak 44 forend at the factory. Spartan's magnetic MagnaSwitch bipods snap on and off in seconds, so you carry zero extra weight until you need the support.
