Weatherby Mark V 6.5 Weatherby RPM Bolt-Action Rifle with 24" Barrel - Gray/White

The Weatherby Mark V 6.5 Weatherby RPM bolt-action rifle is built for hunters who refuse to compromise on power, precision, or weight. Chambered in the hard-hitting 6.5 Weatherby RPM—a cartridge engineered by Weatherby for serious velocity and energy—this 24" barreled rifle represents the cutting edge of lightweight magnum hunting design. The Mark V action is built from titanium for maximum strength at minimum mass, and this Gray/White model showcases that engineering with a raw titanium receiver paired with a fluted, Cerakote-finished barrel and a striking Peak 44 Blacktooth carbon fiber stock. Coming in at just 4.9 lbs, it's among the lightest magnum hunting rifles available, making it the ideal choice for backcountry hunters who need serious ballistic performance without the burden of a heavy gun.

Weatherby engineered this Backcountry 2.0 Ti platform with several game-changing upgrades. The barrel is super-thin and fluted to shed weight while maintaining rigidity, twisted 1-in-8 to stabilize 6.5 RPM ammunition. The bolt features more pronounced spiral fluting and a lightweight aluminum extended skeletonized knob for smoother, faster manipulation. Up front, the muzzle wears Weatherby's Accubrake ST—a symmetrically-ported brake with 30 ports that flatten recoil impulse even from magnum rounds, making the rifle significantly more pleasant to shoot from field positions.

Recoil management doesn't stop at the brake. The 3DHEX recoil pad is a second-generation 3D-printed design with interlocking voids that progressively collapse during firing, spreading the recoil spike over a longer duration and absorbing the sharp kick magnum cartridges deliver. The stock itself is a lightweight marvel—bare carbon fiber finished in Gray and White—and the whole package is topped with a magazine capacity of 4+1, giving you five rounds of 6.5 RPM authority in a rifle light enough to carry all day in mountain country.

This is a rifle built for the serious long-range hunter who understands that every ounce matters and ballistic performance cannot be sacrificed for convenience. It's equally at home on a distant ridge or in hands climbing to one.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the 6.5 Weatherby RPM and why choose this cartridge?

The 6.5 Weatherby RPM is a proprietary cartridge engineered by Weatherby to deliver high velocity and energy from a compact, efficient case. Chambered in this Mark V rifle with its 1-in-8 twist and 24" barrel, it's built for precision long-range hunting while the magnum performance still fits in a lightweight package.

How does the 3DHEX recoil pad work and why does it matter?

The 3DHEX pad is Weatherby's second-generation 3D-printed recoil pad with interlocking voids inside that progressively collapse during recoil. This design expands the time over which the recoil impulse is delivered to your shoulder, significantly reducing the sharp kick and making the rifle more comfortable to shoot—especially important in a lightweight magnum rifle.

What comes with the rifle and what are the finish options?

This model features a raw titanium receiver to showcase the precision machining, a Cerakote-finished barrel and bolt, and a bare carbon fiber stock with Gray and White sponge pattern accents. The Weatherby Accubrake ST is included at the muzzle.

Is this rifle suitable for a backcountry hunting trip?

At 4.9 lbs, this Mark V is designed specifically for backcountry use where weight matters over long days of hiking and glassing. The ultralight titanium action, fluted barrel, carbon fiber stock, and magnum ballistics make it an excellent choice for mountain hunting applications where you need both power and portability.
