Every ounce matters when you're climbing above treeline, and Weatherby took that idea about as far as it can go with the Mark V Backcountry Capra. This .240 Weatherby Magnum version comes in around 4.6 pounds thanks to a Mark V 6-lug action machined from titanium, which weighs roughly 42 percent of what steel does while shrugging off corrosion in nasty weather. The 21 inch thin-contour barrel wears double spiral fluting in a double helix pattern, a design that strips away material while adding rigidity, and Weatherby still backs it with their sub-MOA guarantee using factory or premium ammo from a cold barrel.
The Peak 44 Bridger stock is a big part of the story. It's an exposed carbon fiber design with grey, white, and rust sponge pattern accents, hand painted at the factory, with weight-saving cutouts and a shortened fore-end that make it ride nicely on a pack. Weatherby also ditched the hinged floorplate in favor of their first blind magazine Mark V, which trims more weight and gives the rifle a clean, snag-free bottom line. Capacity is 2+1, plenty for a mountain hunt where the first shot is the one that counts.
Ultralight rifles have a reputation for punishing the shooter, so Weatherby built in some real recoil management. The 3D Hex recoil pad uses a honeycomb structure that collapses under recoil to soak up the hit, and the muzzle is threaded 1/2×28 with an Accubrake ST included in the box. Run the brake, spin on a suppressor, or go bare, your call. A crisp TriggerTech trigger breaks clean without creep, and the .240 Wby Mag itself is a flat-shooting, mild-mannered cartridge that pairs beautifully with a rifle this light. The 1:7.5 twist rate stabilizes modern heavy-for-caliber bullets, so this little speedster is more capable at distance than its size suggests.
All the metalwork is sealed in Graphite Black Cerakote, so a week of wet weather in sheep country won't leave a mark. For deer, antelope, and high country hunts where the truck is a long walk behind you, this is a rifle you stop noticing until it's time to shoot.
The .240 Wby Mag version with the 21 inch barrel comes in around 4.6 pounds, which makes it one of the heavier configurations in the Capra lineup and still lighter than nearly anything else in production. The titanium action, fluted barrel, blind magazine, and Peak 44 Bridger carbon stock are where the weight savings come from.
Yes. The muzzle is threaded 1/2×28, so you can run a suppressor directly or use the Accubrake ST that comes with the rifle. The brake is a smart option if you shoot it bare, since it takes a lot of the sting out of a rifle this light.
It does. Like all Mark V rifles, Weatherby guarantees a 3-shot group of .99 inch or better at 100 yards from a cold barrel when using Weatherby factory or premium ammunition, within two years of verified purchase for the original owner.
The Capra uses a blind magazine instead of a hinged floorplate, which cuts weight and cleans up the bottom of the stock. In a long-cased magnum like the .240 Wby, that works out to two in the magazine plus one in the chamber. For a mountain hunting rifle built around making the first shot count, that capacity is rarely a limitation.
