Weatherby Mark V Backcountry Capra 6.5 CM 17" 2rd Rifle

The Weatherby Mark V Backcountry Capra is a lightweight mountain rifle, and Weatherby uses it to raise the standard for its backcountry line. At its heart is the Mark V six lug short action machined from titanium, which makes the Capra one of the lightest production rifles ever offered. This one is chambered in 6.5 Creedmoor and holds 2 rounds.

The 17" barrel has a thin contour with double spiral fluting that forms a double helix, cutting weight while adding rigidity. It is threaded 1/2x28 and wears a 2" muzzle brake. Barrel, receiver, bolt, bolt knob and safety are all finished in Graphite Black Cerakote, and the titanium receiver is drilled and tapped for a scope. The stock is a modified Peak 44 carbon fiber design with exposed carbon and gray, white and rust sponge pattern accents, shaving ounces on the trail while keeping comfortable ergonomics and effective recoil control. On a long climb, every ounce saved is the point of this rifle.
