Description
The Weatherby Mark V Backcountry 2.0 Ti Carbon .240 Wby Mag is a purpose-built, weight-conscious field rifle that pairs a titanium Mark V action with a tensioned BSF carbon fiber barrel and an ultralight Peak 44 Blacktooth carbon stock. Designed to deliver magnum-level performance in a low-mass package, this bolt action rifle gives you the reach and terminal energy you need for long-range shots on mule deer, pronghorn, and coyotes without the weight penalty of a traditional magnum.

Key Features
- Titanium Mark V Action – Why it matters: This action shaves nearly a pound off the traditional steel receiver, making it easier to carry all day through steep canyon country without sacrificing the smooth, reliable cycling you expect from a Weatherby.
- BSF Tensioned Carbon Fiber Barrel – Why it matters: The tensioned carbon wrap stiffens the barrel for consistent accuracy shot after shot, while reducing overall weight and dissipating heat faster than a steel barrel.
- Peak 44 Blacktooth Carbon Stock – Why it matters: This stock is molded from carbon fiber to save weight, and its ergonomic design with a raised cheek piece and textured grip gives you a solid, repeatable hold for those offhand shots at running game.
- Threaded Muzzle and Drilled/Tapped Receiver – Why it matters: You can mount a suppressor or muzzle brake to manage recoil, and the receiver is ready for any quality optic base, so you can set up the rifle exactly how you need it for your hunt.
- Sub-6 Pound Overall Weight – Why it matters: At roughly 5.5 pounds, this rifle is light enough to pack into remote backcountry spots without wearing you out, yet still delivers the flat trajectory and energy of a Weatherby magnum.
Who It’s For
This rifle is built for the mountain hunter who demands a lightweight rig that can reach out and touch targets at 400 yards and beyond. It’s also for the coyote caller who wants a fast-handling, flat-shooting rifle for open country. If you’re a reloader who enjoys squeezing every bit of performance from the .240 Wby Mag, the Backcountry 2.0 Ti Carbon gives you a stable platform to work with.
Pros and Cons
- Pros: Extremely light weight (5.5 lbs), sub-MOA accuracy out of the box, threaded muzzle for suppressor use, durable titanium action, excellent stock ergonomics for offhand shooting.
- Cons: The .240 Wby Mag can be expensive to feed with factory ammunition, and the lightweight build produces more felt recoil than a heavier rifle in the same caliber. A muzzle brake or suppressor is recommended for extended range sessions.
