Weatherby Mark V Backcountry 2.0 Ti Carbon 240 Weatherby Magnum 22

The Weatherby Mark V Backcountry 2.0 Ti Carbon in 240 Wby 22 LH is a remarkable advancement in lightweight hunting rifles, building upon the success of its predecessor with innovative features designed for the serious hunter. Weighing in at an astonishing 5.3 lbs, this rifle combines a tensioned carbon fiber barrel renowned for its accuracy—having set a Weatherby record with a 0.06 3-shot group at 100 yards—with a robust titanium action that ensures durability without unnecessary weight. The Peak 44 Blacktooth stock, the lightest production carbon fiber stock available, complements the rifle's design while providing a comfortable grip. The second-generation 3DHEX recoil pad, a groundbreaking 3D printed innovation, effectively mitigates recoil by utilizing interlocking voids that collapse progressively, making even magnum chamberings manageable and enjoyable to shoot. Additionally, the pronounced spiral fluting on the bolt body not only reduces weight but also enhances the smooth operation of the action, while the lightweight aluminum extended skeletonized knob on the bolt handle offers improved handling. The titanium Accubrake ST, designed to match the carbon fiber barrel's profile, features 30 symmetrically-spaced ports that significantly reduce recoil, allowing for quicker follow-up shots. With its striking exposed carbon fiber and raw titanium accents, all protected by a black ceramic Cerakote finish, the Backcountry 2.0 Ti Carbon is not only functional but visually appealing, making it an excellent choice for hunters seeking a blend of accuracy, lightweight design, and aesthetic appeal in the field.
