Description
If you’re packing a rifle into steep country for a week-long elk hunt, every ounce matters. The Weatherby Mark V Backcountry Guide Ti 7mm PRC 22in is built for that exact reality. This rifle combines a titanium Mark V action with a 22-inch BSF carbon fiber barrel, shaving weight without sacrificing the strength you need when a shot presents itself at 400 yards. Chambered in 7mm PRC, it delivers flat trajectories and retained energy that make long-range shots on mule deer or pronghorn a practical reality, not a hope. The package includes a TriggerTech adjustable trigger, a machined titanium Accubrake ST, and a Peak 44 Blacktooth stock with a 3DHex recoil pad—everything you need to hit the mountain running.

Key Features
- Titanium Mark V Action — Why it matters: It reduces weight by nearly a pound compared to steel actions, so you can carry more water and ammo without feeling it on the climb.
- BSF Carbon Fiber Barrel (22 inches) — Why it matters: The carbon wrap dissipates heat faster than steel, keeping your shots consistent during a string of follow-ups on a herd bull.
- TriggerTech Adjustable Trigger — Why it matters: You can dial the pull weight down to a crisp 2.5 pounds, eliminating creep and letting you break a clean shot when that buck steps into the shooting lane at last light.
- Machined Titanium Accubrake ST — Why it matters: It cuts felt recoil by up to 50% (per Weatherby specs), so you stay on target for a quick second shot if the first one needs a follow-up.
- Peak 44 Blacktooth Stock with Spartan Precision Adapters — Why it matters: The stock is rigid and weatherproof, and the integrated adapter lets you mount a bipod or tripod in seconds without aftermarket mods.
Who It’s For
This rifle is for the hunter who plans a DIY backcountry hunt in the Rockies, carries a pack that weighs 60 pounds, and still expects to make a 500-yard shot on a bedded buck at dawn. It’s also for the precision shooter who wants a lightweight rig for steel matches out to 1,000 yards, where every pound saved means less fatigue over a long day. If you’re the guy who reads wind flags and dials elevation, you’ll appreciate the 7mm PRC’s ballistic coefficient and the rifle’s ability to hold sub-MOA groups.
Pros & Cons
- Pros: Ultra-lightweight at 6.2 lbs; titanium action resists corrosion in wet snow; TriggerTech trigger gives a clean break; carbon barrel stays accurate during rapid fire; Spartan adapter adds tripod versatility.
- Cons: The price tag of $3,549 is steep for a casual shooter—this is an investment for serious hunters. Also, the carbon fiber barrel can be more sensitive to barrel torque than a traditional steel barrel, so you’ll want to confirm your action screw tension with a torque wrench.

FAQ
What is the barrel twist rate on the Weatherby Mark V Backcountry Guide Ti 7mm PRC?
The twist rate is 1:8 inches, optimized to stabilize the long, heavy bullets commonly used in 7mm PRC, such as the 175-grain ELD-X or 180-grain Berger VLD.
Does this rifle come with a scope or scope base?
No, the rifle ships without optics. It has a Picatinny rail machined into the action, so you can mount your preferred scope rings or a one-piece base. We recommend a quality 3-15x or 5-25x scope for long-range work.
Is the Accubrake ST removable?
Yes, the Accubrake ST is threaded onto the barrel and can be removed with a wrench. If you remove it, you’ll need to re-crown the barrel or install a thread protector (not included). The brake is designed to stay on for hunting use.
What is the magazine capacity?
The rifle uses a detachable box magazine with a 3-round capacity. It’s flush-fit with the stock, so it won’t snag on brush.
