The Weatherby Mark V Backcountry 2.0 Ti represents the evolution of the Backcountry rifle series, building upon the established Weatherby Mark V steel action. This iteration integrates key enhancements focused on weight reduction and recoil management, specifically for magnum chamberings, optimizing performance in demanding conditions.
Key Features
Lightweight Construction
The most notable upgrade is the inclusion of the Peak 44 Blacktooth carbon fiber stock. These stocks are engineered for minimal mass, with the lightest variants weighing under 20 ounces. Further weight reduction is achieved through a lightweight fluted barrel and pronounced spiral fluting on the bolt body. The newly-threaded bolt handle is fitted with a lightweight aluminum extended and skeletonized knob, optimizing overall rifle mass for maneuverability.
Recoil Mitigation System
The integrated 3DHEX recoil pad is designed to effectively manage the recoil impulse of magnum cartridges. Internally, a series of interlocking voids progressively collapse during the recoil event, extending its time component and mitigating felt kick. This system enhances shooter comfort and follow-up shot capability.
Enhanced Action Smoothness
The spiral fluting on the bolt body serves a dual purpose: it reduces the bolt’s overall weight while simultaneously decreasing the bearing surface within the Mark V action. This precision engineering results in a perceptibly smoother cycling operation, promoting reliable function in varied field conditions.
Precision Barrel System
The lightweight fluted barrel is equipped with Weatherby’s Accubrake ST muzzle brake. This system is designed to further reduce muzzle rise and recoil, contributing to enhanced shot placement accuracy and control.
