The Weatherby Mark V Backcountry Guide Ti .240 Weatherby Magnum 22in is a purpose-built mountain rifle that drops serious weight without sacrificing the precision you need at elevation. This model combines a machined Mark V titanium action with a BSF carbon-fiber barrel and Peak 44 Blacktooth stock, bringing the whole package down to just over 6 pounds. It’s chambered in the flat-shooting .240 Weatherby Magnum, giving you the reach to handle long-range shots on elk, mule deer, or pronghorn. If you’re counting every ounce on a multi-day pack-in, this rifle earns its place in your gear list.

Key Features
- Titanium Mark V action — Why it matters: Titanium gives you a high strength-to-weight ratio that shaves nearly a pound off a traditional steel action, and its natural corrosion resistance means one less worry when you’re glassing in a rainstorm.
- BSF carbon-fiber barrel — Why it matters: Carbon-fiber wrapping keeps the barrel stiff for consistent accuracy shot after shot, while the reduced weight lets you carry more gear or hike farther without fatigue.
- Peak 44 Blacktooth stock with 3DHex recoil pad — Why it matters: This carbon-fiber stock is both rigid and light, and the 3DHex pad soaks up the .240’s recoil so you stay on target for quick follow-ups.
- Adjustable TriggerTech trigger — Why it matters: You can dial the pull weight from 2.5 to 5 pounds, giving you a crisp break that helps you place shots exactly where you aim, even with gloves on.
- Threaded muzzle with titanium Accubrake ST — Why it matters: The factory-installed brake reduces felt recoil significantly, and the threaded barrel lets you add a suppressor without a gunsmith visit.
Who It’s For
This rifle is for the hunter who spends more time planning pack weight than picking camo patterns. It’s for the backcountry guy who wants one rifle that can handle a 400-yard shot on a buck and still ride strapped to a pack frame for a week. New shooters will appreciate the light recoil and adjustable trigger; seasoned hunters will value the corrosion-proof build and sub-6.5-pound carry weight.
Pros and Cons
- Pros: Exceptional weight savings (over 6 pounds), titanium action resists rust, BSF barrel holds sub-MOA accuracy, adjustable TriggerTech trigger, threaded for suppressor.
- Cons: The .240 Weatherby Magnum ammunition can be harder to find in rural stores compared to .308 or 6.5 Creedmoor, and the carbon-fiber stock may feel too narrow for shooters with larger hands.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the barrel twist rate on the Weatherby Mark V Backcountry Guide Ti .240 Weatherby Magnum 22in?

Does this rifle come with a scope base or rings?
No, the receiver is drilled and tapped for standard Weatherby bases, but bases and rings are sold separately. You’ll need to pick up a set before mounting your optic.
Can I use this rifle for hunting in wet or snowy conditions without worrying about rust?
Yes. The titanium action and Cerakote finish are highly corrosion-resistant, and the carbon-fiber barrel won’t rust. Just wipe it down after a wet day and oil the bolt lugs.
Is the Accubrake ST removable for suppressor use?
Yes, the titanium Accubrake ST is threaded on and can be removed with a standard wrench. The barrel is threaded 5/8-24, so most .30-caliber suppressors will mount directly.
