Description
Left-handed hunters usually get the leftovers. Not here. The Weatherby Mark V Backcountry Guide Ti in .308 Win is a genuine left-hand bolt gun built to the same standard as anything in the Mark V lineup, and it happens to be one of the lightest mountain rifles you can buy. The titanium six-lug action machined in Sheridan, Wyoming shaves serious weight compared to steel while shrugging off moisture and rough weather, and the 20 inch BSF carbon fiber wrapped barrel keeps the whole package quick handling in dark timber or on a windy ridge.
Why the Guide Ti Earns Its Spot in the Pack
The Guide series was built around real backcountry use. The Peak 44 Blacktooth carbon fiber stock comes with Spartan Precision gunsmithing adapters installed from the factory, so a magnetic bipod snaps on and off in seconds without adding hardware you have to carry. The 3DHex recoil pad uses a collapsing honeycomb structure to soak up recoil, and the titanium Accubrake ST on the threaded 5/8-24 muzzle knocks felt recoil down even further. In a mild cartridge like .308, this thing is downright pleasant to shoot for such a light rifle. Each stock is hand painted, so no two look exactly alike.
Mark V Backcountry Guide Ti Accuracy and Trigger
Weatherby backs every Mark V with a sub-MOA guarantee, promising three-shot groups under an inch at 100 yards from a cold barrel with Weatherby factory or premium ammo. The externally adjustable TriggerTech trigger breaks clean with zero creep, and the 54 degree bolt throw, the shortest in the industry, cycles fast and clears low-mounted scopes with room to spare. The spiral fluted bolt trims weight and runs smooth.
With a 4+1 capacity, no sights, and a clean receiver ready for the optic of your choice, this rifle was made for the hunter who hikes in miles, shoots from field positions, and wants a short barrel that plays nice with a suppressor. Southpaws finally get the mountain rifle they deserve.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is the Mark V Backcountry Guide Ti a true left-hand rifle?
Yes. This is a dedicated left-hand action with the bolt handle and port on the left side, not a right-hand gun with a swapped stock. Weatherby builds the Guide Ti in genuine left-hand configurations for a handful of chamberings, and .308 Win is one of them.
Can I run a suppressor on this rifle?
You can. The muzzle is threaded 5/8-24, so the factory Accubrake ST spins off and most common .30 caliber suppressors thread right on. The shorter 20 inch barrel is one of the reasons the Guide series exists, keeping overall length manageable once a can is attached.
How accurate is the Backcountry Guide Ti out of the box?
Weatherby guarantees every Mark V will print a three-shot group of .99 inch or less at 100 yards from a cold barrel using Weatherby factory or premium ammunition. That guarantee applies for two years from the verified purchase date to the original owner. For a rifle this light, that is a strong promise, and the TriggerTech trigger makes it easier to get there.
Does the Weatherby Guide Ti come with a scope or sights?
No, it ships without sights or optics. The receiver is set up for scope mounting, so plan on picking up bases, rings, and glass. Given how light this rifle is, most hunters pair it with a compact, lightweight scope to keep the whole setup under seven pounds.
