Weatherby Mark V Backcountry 2.0 Ti — 6.5mm Creedmoor, 22″

The Weatherby Mark V Backcountry 2.0 Ti in 6.5mm Creedmoor with a 22-inch barrel is a sub-6-pound precision rifle built for shooters who refuse to trade weight for accuracy. This titanium-action rifle mates a Peak 44 Blacktooth carbon fiber stock with a TriggerTech trigger and Weatherby’s Accubrake ST to deliver repeatable sub-MOA performance from a packable platform.

Key Features

• Peak 44 Blacktooth Carbon Fiber Stock — WHY IT MATTERS: Saves nearly a pound over traditional fiberglass stocks while maintaining a rigid bedding surface for consistent shot-to-shot accuracy.
• TriggerTech Trigger — WHY IT MATTERS: A zero-creep, adjustable trigger that breaks at 2.5 lbs with no overtravel, giving you a clean break that won’t surprise you mid-squeeze.
• Accubrake ST — WHY IT MATTERS: Weatherby’s radial-port muzzle brake reduces felt recoil by up to 40% without adding length, letting you spot your own impacts through the scope.
• 3DHEX Recoil Reducer — WHY IT MATTERS: A proprietary polymer honeycomb insert in the buttpad absorbs high-frequency vibration, taming muzzle jump so you can stay on target for follow-up shots.
• Fluted, Threaded 22″ Barrel (1:8 Twist) — WHY IT MATTERS: The 1:8 twist stabilizes 140-grain ELD-X and 147-grain ELD-M bullets perfectly, while the threading accepts standard 5/8×24 suppressors or brakes.

Who It’s For

This rifle is for the backcountry hunter who humps a pack 10 miles into the alpine and still expects first-round hits on a mule deer at 500 yards. It’s also for the precision shooter who wants a lightweight trainer that mirrors their heavy-barrel rig’s trigger feel and accuracy. If you’ve been carrying a 9-pound steel-action rifle and wondering why your shoulders ache, this is the upgrade.

Pros & Cons

• Pro: Sub-6-pound weight with titanium action and carbon stock makes it one of the lightest production 6.5 Creedmoors available.
• Pro: TriggerTech trigger matches aftermarket quality out of the box — no need to swap for a Timney or Geissele.
• Con: The Accubrake ST is effective but loud; ear protection is mandatory even for a single shot, and it’s not suppressor-friendly if you plan to run a can without a QD mount.

FAQ

What is the barrel twist rate on the Weatherby Mark V Backcountry 2.0 Ti 6.5mm Creedmoor?

The 22-inch barrel has a 1:8 twist rate, which stabilizes 130- to 147-grain bullets commonly used for long-range hunting and precision shooting.

Can I mount a suppressor on this rifle?

Yes, the barrel is threaded 5/8×24. However, the Accubrake ST is not designed for direct-thread suppressor use — you’ll need a suppressor-specific muzzle device or a QD mount that fits the threading.

Does the stock have an adjustable cheek riser?

No, the Peak 44 Blacktooth stock uses a fixed cheek piece. For shooters who need comb height adjustment, an aftermarket cheek pad or adjustable stock may be required.

What is the magazine capacity?

The rifle accepts a detachable box magazine with a 3-round capacity (standard for hunting applications). Aftermarket 5- and 10-round magazines are available from Accurate-Mag.

Is the action drilled and tapped for scope mounts?

Yes, the titanium action is drilled and tapped for standard Weaver-style bases, and the receiver is flat-topped for easy ring installation.
