Product Overview
The Weatherby Mark V Backcountry Ti 2 in .308 Winchester, configured for left-handed shooters, represents a purpose-built precision rifle engineered for demanding field conditions. This system integrates advanced material science with Weatherby’s renowned Mark V action to deliver exceptional weight reduction and robust performance.

Key Features
Titanium Mark V Action
The foundation of the Backcountry Ti 2 is a lightweight titanium Mark V receiver, significantly reducing overall rifle weight without compromising structural integrity. This 6-lug action (for .308 Winchester) provides a robust lock-up, ensuring consistent chambering and extraction. The fluted bolt body further reduces weight while mitigating friction during operation, contributing to smooth cycling under various conditions. The titanium construction inherently offers superior corrosion resistance, crucial for extended field deployments.
Peak 44 Blacktooth Carbon Fiber Stock
This rifle incorporates the Peak 44 Blacktooth carbon fiber stock, renowned for its rigidity and extreme light weight. The advanced composite construction provides a stable shooting platform, enhancing accuracy by minimizing flex and vibration. Its ergonomic design facilitates comfortable and secure handling, optimizing control and reducing shooter fatigue during prolonged use or dynamic engagements.
Fluted, Threaded Barrel with Accubrake ST
Equipped with a 20-inch fluted steel barrel, the Backcountry Ti 2 balances ballistic performance with weight efficiency. The fluting pattern aids in rapid heat dissipation during strings of fire and contributes to the rifle’s overall lighter profile. The barrel is threaded (1/2-28 UNEF) and fitted with Weatherby’s Accubrake ST muzzle device, engineered to significantly mitigate recoil and muzzle rise, allowing for faster follow-up shots and improved target acquisition. The barrel and receiver feature a durable Tungsten Cerakote finish, providing enhanced resistance to abrasion and environmental elements.
TriggerTech Trigger
Precision is further augmented by the integrated TriggerTech trigger. This adjustable, creep-free trigger mechanism offers a crisp, clean break, enabling precise shot execution. Shooters can fine-tune the pull weight to their specific preferences, ensuring optimal control and consistent performance in varied operational scenarios.
Sub-MOA Precision Guarantee
The Weatherby Mark V Backcountry Ti 2 is backed by Weatherby’s Sub-MOA accuracy guarantee, ensuring three-shot groups of .99 inches or less at 100 yards with premium ammunition. This commitment validates the rifle’s inherent precision engineering and manufacturing consistency.
Left-Hand Configuration
This specific variant is meticulously designed for left-handed operators. All primary controls, including the bolt handle, are optimally positioned for intuitive and efficient manipulation, ensuring seamless operation and ergonomic compatibility for southpaw shooters.
