The Weatherby Mark V Backcountry Ti 2 in 6.5 Creedmoor is engineered for the discerning hunter and long-range shooter who demands extreme weight reduction without compromising terminal performance or structural integrity. This rifle integrates advanced material science with Weatherby’s established Mark V action, providing a robust platform for challenging environments.
Key Features
Mark V Action
The heart of this rifle is the Weatherby Mark V 9-Lug action, renowned for its strength, reliability, and smooth bolt operation. The 9-lug design provides a secure lock-up, distributing bolt thrust evenly for enhanced safety and consistent performance. This action facilitates rapid cycling under adverse conditions, ensuring operational reliability when it matters most.
Titanium Receiver
Precision-machined from lightweight titanium, the receiver significantly reduces the rifle’s overall weight, optimizing portability for extended backcountry expeditions. The inherent strength of titanium maintains the structural integrity and rigidity essential for consistent accuracy, mitigating flex under stress.
Carbon Fiber Wrapped Barrel
The 24-inch carbon fiber wrapped barrel contributes substantially to the rifle’s featherlight profile while maintaining exceptional rigidity and thermal stability. This construction mitigates heat-induced point of impact shifts during rapid fire sequences, enhancing shot-to-shot consistency. The barrel is threaded 1/2-28 UNEF and factory-equipped with Weatherby’s Accubrake ST muzzle brake, effectively reducing felt recoil and muzzle rise for faster follow-up shots.
Peak 44 Blacktooth Composite Stock
Featuring a lightweight, hand-laid carbon fiber composite stock from Peak 44 (Blacktooth model), this rifle is designed for ergonomic handling and recoil absorption. The stock’s geometry, including its Monte Carlo comb and textured grip panels, provides a stable shooting platform and secure purchase in all weather conditions, further enhancing shooter control and comfort.
LXX Trigger System
The adjustable LXX Trigger System provides a crisp, clean break, allowing for precise shot placement. Factory-tuned for optimal performance, it can be user-adjusted to accommodate individual preferences, facilitating consistent engagement and reducing shooter-induced errors.
Sub-MOA Accuracy Guarantee
This rifle is backed by Weatherby’s sub-MOA accuracy guarantee, ensuring a 3-shot group of .99″ or less at 100 yards when utilizing premium Weatherby or specified factory ammunition. This guarantee underscores the rifle’s precision machining and performance capabilities directly from the manufacturer.
