The Weatherby Mark V Backcountry 2.0 Ti in .280 Ackley Improved represents the latest evolution of the Backcountry line, engineered around a supremely lightweight and strong titanium Weatherby Mark V action. The standout feature is the new carbon fiber Peak 44™ Blacktooth stock, available in versions weighing under 20 ounces, paired with the second generation 3DHEX recoil pad—the first production 3D printed pad in the firearms industry. The raw titanium action showcases precise machining, while the barrel and bolt wear a black ceramic Cerakote finish. The stock displays bare carbon fiber with a white and grey pattern.
This rifle carries a 24″ #1 MOD fluted barrel in .280 ACKLEY IMP with a 1:9″ twist rate and 4-round capacity, topped with an Accubrake® ST muzzle brake. Overall length measures 46″ with a 13.5″ length of pull, and the rifle weighs 4.9 lbs. The Accubrake ST features 30 symmetrically-spaced ports blended to match the muzzle profile, managing recoil effectively. All Mark V® rifles carry a guarantee to shoot a 3-shot group of .99″ or less at 100 yards (SUB-MOA) from a cold barrel when used with Weatherby® factory or premium ammunition within Two-Years of Verified Purchase Date to Original Purchaser.
The TriggerTech trigger delivers true zero-creep break and extremely short over-travel, with external adjustability and precision-cut stainless steel components for consistent, safe, and corrosion-resistant performance. The titanium action’s strength-to-weight ratio cuts weight beyond what a standard steel action provides. Starting at 4.7 lbs and 4.9 lbs in magnum chamberings, this rifle is the lightest in the Backcountry 2.0 family.
