Description
There are lightweight rifles, and then there are rifles you forget you're carrying until it's time to shoot. The Mark V Backcountry Guide Ti lands firmly in the second camp. Weatherby machines the six-lug Mark V action from titanium at their Sheridan, Wyoming facility, which shaves serious weight while adding natural corrosion resistance for nasty weather up high. Starting at around 5.1 pounds bare, this is the kind of rifle that makes a ten-mile approach feel a whole lot shorter.
Why the Backcountry Guide Ti Earns Its Keep
The 22 inch BSF carbon fiber barrel is the other half of the story. Instead of wrapping carbon directly against the steel, BSF sleeves a 416R stainless match barrel and loads the carbon under tension, leaving air gaps that help the barrel shed heat and stay rigid as you run shots through it. The fluted barrel wears Graphite Black Cerakote and a threaded 5/8×24 muzzle topped with a machined titanium Accubrake ST, which adds two inches up front and takes real bite out of recoil. Pull the brake and you have an easy path to running a suppressor. An adjustable TriggerTech trigger lets you dial the pull to your liking, and the whole package is backed by Weatherby's sub-MOA three-shot guarantee.
A 25 Creedmoor Mountain Rifle That Makes Sense
The 25 Creedmoor chambering is a smart match for this platform. It pushes high-BC .257 caliber bullets with less recoil than a 6.5 Creedmoor and better wind performance than most 6mms, making it a genuinely pleasant round for deer, antelope, and predators at practical hunting distances. The Peak 44 Blacktooth stock shows off exposed carbon fiber with carbide black sponge accents, includes a 3DHex recoil pad that soaks up what little kick is left, and comes with Spartan Precision adapters factory installed in the forend for their ultralight bipods. Feed it from the 3+1 magazine, glass up, and go hunt somewhere steep.

Frequently Asked Questions
How heavy is the Mark V Backcountry Guide Ti in 25 Creedmoor?
The Guide Ti series starts at roughly 5.1 pounds thanks to the titanium receiver, carbon fiber barrel, and Peak 44 Blacktooth stock. Even with a quality scope, rings, and a full magazine, most setups come in lighter than a lot of bare rifles. That makes a real difference on long climbs and all-day carries.
Can I run a suppressor on the Backcountry Guide Ti?
Yes. The muzzle is threaded 5/8×24, so once you remove the factory Accubrake ST you can spin on most common rifle suppressors. The shorter 22 inch barrel was chosen partly for this reason, keeping overall length manageable with a can attached.
Is 25 Creedmoor ammo easy to find?
It's getting easier all the time. The cartridge was SAAMI standardized in early 2025 and Hornady offers factory hunting and match loads, with other makers adding options as the round gains traction. It's built on the 6.5 Creedmoor case necked down to .257, so brass for handloaders is simple to source too.
What game is this rifle a good fit for?
The 25 Creedmoor shines on deer, antelope, hogs, and predators, holding solid energy out to around 600 yards with modern high-BC bullets. Recoil is lighter than a 6.5 Creedmoor, which makes spotting your own impacts easier in this featherweight platform. It also doubles nicely as a steel and range gun past 1,000 yards.
