The Weatherby Mark V Backcountry 2.0 Ti 6.5×300 Mag is a lightweight titanium-action bolt rifle built for extended carries and precision in remote environments. Combining a titanium Mark V receiver with a carbon-fiber Peak 44 Blacktooth stock and Weatherby’s Accubrake ST, it helps manage recoil from magnum chamberings while keeping weight down to just 5.60 lbs. Designed for backcountry hunters and shooters who prioritize durability and low carry weight, this rifle ships with a TriggerTech trigger, a thumb safety, and a 3+1 magazine capacity.

Key Features
- Titanium Mark V Receiver – Why it matters: Saves nearly a pound over steel receivers without sacrificing strength, so you can carry it farther and shoot it harder.
- Peak 44 Blacktooth Carbon-Fiber Stock – Why it matters: This stock cuts weight and dampens vibration, giving you a stable platform even after a long hike in wet conditions.
- Accubrake ST Muzzle Brake – Why it matters: Reduces felt recoil by up to 30%, letting you stay on target for fast follow-up shots with a magnum cartridge.
- TriggerTech Trigger – Why it matters: Crisp, adjustable pull (2.5–3.5 lbs) means you get a clean break every time, no creep or over-travel.
- Compact Overall Length (23.5″ barrel) – Why it matters: Maneuverable in tight brush or a blind, and still delivers full velocity from the 6.5×300 Mag.
Who It’s For
This rifle is for the backcountry hunter who spends days on the mountain and wants a gun that disappears on a sling. It’s also for the recreational shooter who appreciates a lightweight magnum that doesn’t beat you up. First-time buyers stepping into a magnum cartridge will appreciate the Accubrake and TriggerTech combo—less recoil and a better trigger make learning easier.
Pros & Cons

- Pro: Accubrake ST works well—you can shoot a box of 6.5×300 Mag without flinching.
- Pro: Peak 44 stock is rock-solid and doesn’t flex under bipod pressure.
- Con: The titanium receiver can be slightly more sensitive to temperature changes than steel—allow extra time for barrel to cool between strings.
