Description
The Weatherby Mark V Backcountry Ti Carbon 6.5 Creedmoor 22 in is built for the hunter who needs a rifle that pulls its weight without adding any. Pairing a lightweight titanium Mark V action with a tensioned carbon-wrapped barrel, this rig is purpose-built for backcountry and precision field use. Chambered in 6.5mm Creedmoor and equipped with a fluted, threaded 22-inch carbon barrel and Accubrake ST muzzle, it emphasizes weight savings and shootability for extended outings. The fixed Peak 44 Blacktooth carbon stock with a 3DHEX recoil pad and a TriggerTech trigger deliver a crisp, consistent pull. Right-hand configuration and a 4+1 capacity make it a solid companion for solo hunts.

Key Features
- Titanium Mark V Action: Sheds nearly a pound compared to standard steel actions, making it ideal for long treks into high country where every ounce counts.
- Carbon-Wrapped Barrel with Accubrake ST: The tensioned carbon construction stiffens the barrel for consistent accuracy while the integral brake cuts felt recoil—so you can spot your own hits on steep shots.
- Peak 44 Blacktooth Carbon Stock: Fixed, rigid, and equipped with a 3DHEX recoil pad that soaks up vibration; the stock geometry promotes a natural cheek weld for quick, repeatable sight pictures.
- TriggerTech Trigger: Factory-set at 2.5 pounds with zero creep, giving you a clean break that helps you stay on target when a buck is quartering away at 400 yards.
- Fluted and Threaded Barrel: The fluting cuts weight and aids cooling, while the threaded muzzle (5/8×24) lets you mount a suppressor or brake without a gunsmith.
Who It’s For
This rifle is for the hunter who spends more time glassing than sitting in a blind—the guy who packs 10 miles in before dawn and expects his gear to work when he gets there. It’s also for the precision shooter who wants a lightweight platform that holds sub-MOA groups without needing a heavy chassis. If you’ve ever regretted the weight of your rifle on the hike out, the Backcountry Ti Carbon is your answer.
Pros & Cons
- Pros: Ultra-light at 5.6 lbs; titanium action resists corrosion; Accubrake ST makes follow-up shots fast; TriggerTech trigger is match-grade out of the box; carbon stock is stiff and quiet in the field.
- Cons: Price point is steep at $3599—this is a premium investment for serious hunters; the fixed stock limits adjustability for shooters who prefer an adjustable cheek rest or length of pull.
