Product Overview
The Weatherby Mark V Backcountry 2.0 Ti represents the evolution of the Backcountry rifle series, engineered for extreme weight reduction without compromising precision or structural integrity. This platform is built around the exceptionally robust and lightweight titanium Weatherby Mark V action, integrating advanced materials and design features to optimize performance in demanding field conditions, particularly with magnum chamberings. Weighing as little as 4.9 lbs in magnum configurations, it is designed to deliver superior portability and mitigated recoil for the discerning enthusiast.
Key Features
Mark V Titanium Action
The rifle’s core is the Weatherby Mark V titanium action, selected for its superior strength-to-weight ratio and inherent corrosion resistance. The action’s raw titanium finish showcases the precision machining, contributing to both its aesthetic and structural integrity. This foundation ensures consistent lock-up and reliable cycling, critical for high-performance applications.
Peak 44 Blacktooth Carbon Fiber Stock
Integrating the new Peak 44 Blacktooth carbon fiber stock, this component is engineered for maximal weight reduction, with select versions weighing under 20 ounces. The stock’s advanced construction provides a rigid, stable platform for repeatable accuracy, finished in bare carbon fiber with a distinct white and grey pattern that complements the barreled action.
3DHEX Recoil Mitigation System
The second-generation 3DHEX recoil pad is a significant advancement in recoil management technology. Utilizing 3D printing, the pad incorporates a matrix of interlocking voids designed to progressively collapse upon recoil. This mechanism effectively expands the recoil impulse time, substantially mitigating felt recoil even from potent magnum cartridges, thereby enhancing shooter comfort and facilitating faster follow-up shot capability.
Precision Barrel and Muzzle Device
The rifle features a super-thin, lightweight fluted barrel, contoured for optimal balance and heat dissipation (either #1 MOD or #2 MOD, specific to caliber configuration). The muzzle is equipped with Weatherby’s highly effective Accubrake ST, precision-machined to blend seamlessly with the barrel profile. Its 30 symmetrically-spaced ports are engineered to effectively harness and redirect muzzle gas, significantly reducing muzzle rise and felt recoil.
Optimized Bolt Assembly
The bolt body features pronounced spiral fluting, a design choice that not only reduces overall weight but also minimizes bearing surface within the action, facilitating exceptionally smooth and reliable cycling. The newly-threaded bolt handle integrates a lightweight aluminum extended and skeletonized knob, optimizing manipulation under various conditions.
Integrated Finish System
A durable black ceramic Cerakote finish seals the barrel and bolt, providing robust protection against corrosion and abrasion, while the titanium action is left in its raw state. This meticulously applied finish system ensures longevity and consistent performance in harsh environments.
