The Weatherby Mark V Backcountry 2.0 Ti represents the refined evolution of the Backcountry rifle series. Constructed around the inherently strong and lightweight titanium Weatherby Mark V action, this platform integrates several design enhancements to optimize performance in demanding field conditions.
Key Features
Mark V Titanium Action
The foundation of the Backcountry 2.0 Ti is its precisely machined titanium Mark V action. This material selection significantly reduces overall rifle weight while maintaining structural integrity and operational reliability. The bolt body features pronounced spiral fluting, which not only contributes to weight reduction but also minimizes bearing surface within the action, facilitating smoother cycling and consistent operation.
Carbon Fiber Peak 44 Blacktooth Stock
This iteration incorporates the new carbon fiber Peak 44 Blacktooth stock. Engineered for minimal mass, these stocks can weigh under 20 ounces, contributing substantially to the rifle’s ultra-lightweight profile. The stock is finished in bare carbon fiber, exhibiting a distinctive white and grey pattern.
3DHEX Recoil Pad
Integrated is the second-generation 3DHEX recoil pad, a pioneering application of 3D printing technology in firearm components. This pad features a sophisticated internal lattice of interlocking voids engineered to progressively collapse during the recoil impulse. This mechanism effectively prolongs the time component of recoil, substantially mitigating felt energy and enhancing shooter comfort, particularly with high-energy cartridges.
Fluted Barrel and Bolt
The rifle is equipped with a super thin and lightweight fluted barrel, precisely contoured to maintain rigidity while shedding mass. The bolt handle is newly threaded and fitted with a lightweight, skeletonized aluminum knob, optimizing manipulation and further reducing system weight.
Accubrake ST Muzzle Brake
A highly effective Weatherby Accubrake ST is seamlessly blended to match the muzzle profile. Featuring 30 symmetrically spaced ports, this muzzle device is engineered to redirect propellant gases, significantly reducing recoil and muzzle rise. This enhancement ensures consistent shot placement and rapid follow-up shot capability.
Finish and Aesthetics
The Mark V titanium action is presented in its raw machined state, showcasing the material’s inherent properties and manufacturing precision. The barrel and bolt are protected with a black ceramic Cerakote finish, providing superior resistance to abrasion and environmental corrosion. The carbon fiber stock features a bare finish with a white and grey pattern, complementing the rifle’s technical aesthetic.
