The Weatherby Mark V Backcountry Ti 2 in 6.5 PRC is a purpose-built, ultralight precision rifle designed for extended carry in demanding high-country environments. This platform integrates advanced material science and precision manufacturing to deliver consistent ballistic performance while minimizing carried weight. It is engineered for the discerning hunter and long-range shooter who requires absolute reliability and accuracy without compromise.
Key Features
Lightweight Titanium Construction
The core of the Backcountry Ti 2’s weight reduction is its Mark V Titanium receiver. This advanced alloy construction significantly mitigates overall rifle weight while maintaining the renowned structural rigidity and robust lockup of the Weatherby 9-lug action. This design ensures consistent cycling and reliable performance under varying field conditions.
Carbon Fiber Barrel Integration
Precision is enhanced through a 24-inch fluted, carbon fiber wrapped barrel. This construction technique reduces weight without sacrificing rigidity, contributing to optimized barrel harmonics and consistent cold bore shot performance. The steel core is finished with a Patriot Brown Cerakote for enhanced corrosion resistance. The barrel is threaded 5/8×24″ TPI and fitted with an Accubrake ST muzzle brake to effectively mitigate recoil, facilitating faster target reacquisition and spotter visibility.
Precision Trigger System
The rifle incorporates a user-adjustable TriggerTech Mark V trigger. This system is engineered for a crisp, zero-creep break, enabling precise shot placement. The trigger’s consistent pull weight and minimal overtravel are critical for optimizing accuracy under pressure.
Advanced Stock Design
The Peak 44 Blacktooth carbon fiber stock contributes significantly to the rifle’s ultralight profile. Its ergonomic design provides a stable shooting platform, while the carbon fiber construction offers superior strength-to-weight ratio and environmental stability. The Monte Carlo style comb promotes consistent cheek weld for repeatable sight alignment.
Performance Guarantee
The Weatherby Mark V Backcountry Ti 2 is backed by Weatherby’s 0.99″ or less 3-shot group at 100 yards guarantee with premium ammunition. This commitment to accuracy underscores the rifle’s capabilities as a precision instrument.
