Weatherby Mark V Backcountry Capra 22 Creedmoor 17" 2rd Rifle

The Mark V Backcountry Capra is the lightest production hunting rifle Weatherby builds, and this one is chambered in 22 Creedmoor at about 4.1 pounds. It is built on a Mark V six lug short action machined from titanium, a metal Weatherby puts at about 42 percent of the weight of steel and one that resists corrosion on long hunts. The receiver is drilled and tapped for scope bases. The bolt lifts through a short 54 degree throw for quicker follow up shots and more room under the scope, and the threaded bolt handle accepts other knobs.

The 17 inch barrel has a thin #1 MOD contour cut with double spiral fluting that forms a double helix, stripping weight while adding stiffness and surface area for faster cooling. It is threaded 1/2-28 and comes with an Accubrake ST. Weatherby worked with Peak 44 on the Bridger stock, a refined Blacktooth in exposed carbon fiber with grey, white and rust sponge accents. The hinged floorplate was dropped for a blind ADL magazine that holds 2 rounds, and a 3DHEX honeycomb recoil pad takes the edge off recoil. A TriggerTech trigger with external adjustment handles the break, the barrel, receiver, bolt and safety wear Graphite Black Cerakote, and Weatherby guarantees sub MOA accuracy.
