The Weatherby Mark V Backcountry 2.0 Ti Carbon in .240 Weatherby Magnum with a 22-inch barrel is a left-hand bolt-action precision rifle built for the shooter who demands extreme accuracy without hauling a boat anchor. It pairs a lightweight titanium Mark V action with a tensioned carbon fiber barrel and a Peak 44 Blacktooth carbon fiber stock — a combination that delivered a verified 0.06-inch 3-shot group at 100 yards per Weatherby’s internal accuracy record.

Key Features
- Titanium Mark V Action — WHY IT MATTERS: Sheds nearly a pound compared to steel actions without sacrificing the controlled-round feed and 54-degree bolt lift that makes the Mark V a legend for fast follow-ups.
- Tensioned Carbon Fiber Barrel — WHY IT MATTERS: The carbon wrap stiffens the barrel to resist heat-stringing and barrel whip, giving you consistent sub-MOA accuracy even after multiple shots downrange.
- Peak 44 Blacktooth Carbon Fiber Stock — WHY IT MATTERS: This stock is a true skeletonized carbon fiber design, not just a paint job, so you get a rigid bedding platform that slims weight to under 6 lbs total.
- Titanium Accubrake ST — WHY IT MATTERS: Reduces felt recoil by up to 53% according to Weatherby specs, letting you spot your own hits through the scope on a lightweight magnum rifle.
- Spiral Fluted Bolt & 3DHEX Recoil Pad — WHY IT MATTERS: The fluting reduces friction and adds a touch of style, while the 3DHEX pad soaks up the last bit of kick so you stay comfortable during long range sessions.
Who It’s For
This rifle is built for the left-handed shooter who wants a lightweight mountain rifle that still shoots like a bench gun. It’s ideal for backcountry hunters who pack miles but refuse to compromise on accuracy, and for recreational shooters who appreciate premium engineering in a compact, easy-carrying package.
Pros / Cons
- Pros: Ridiculously light at 5.6 lbs, proven accuracy with a 0.06-inch group record, titanium action resists corrosion, carbon fiber barrel keeps weight down without losing stiffness, left-hand configuration available.
- Cons: The .240 Weatherby Magnum is a niche cartridge with limited ammunition availability compared to .308 or 6.5 Creedmoor; the titanium action and carbon fiber barrel also push the price higher than comparable steel rifles.

What is the barrel twist rate on the Weatherby Mark V Backcountry 2.0 Ti Carbon 240WBY?
The factory twist rate for the .240 Weatherby Magnum barrel is 1:10 inches, which stabilizes the 80- to 100-grain bullets typically used in this cartridge.
Does this rifle come with a scope or scope base?
No, the rifle is sold as a barreled action only — no scope or mounts included. You’ll need to add your own rings and base (standard Mark V footprint).
Is the stock adjustable for length of pull or cheek rest?
The Peak 44 Blacktooth stock is not adjustable for length of pull or cheek height — it’s a fixed, lightweight design optimized for packability and weight savings.
How does the .240 Weatherby Magnum compare to the .257 Weatherby Magnum?
The .240 Weatherby Magnum launches lighter bullets (80–100 grains) at higher velocities (3,400–3,500 fps) with less recoil than the .257, making it a great varmint and deer cartridge. The .257 pushes heavier bullets (100–120 grains) and hits harder on larger game.
Can I use this rifle for elk or moose hunting?
While possible with proper bullet selection (100-grain monolithic bullets), the .240 Weatherby Magnum is on the lighter side for elk or moose. Most hunters would choose a .300 Weatherby or .338 for larger game.
