Weatherby Mark V Backcountry TI Carbon 6.5 WBY RPM Bolt-Action Rifle

The Weatherby Mark V Backcountry TI Carbon in 6.5 WBY RPM is built for hunters who refuse to compromise between accuracy and weight. This bolt-action rifle pairs Weatherby's legendary Mark V action—here crafted from titanium for maximum strength with minimal mass—with a carbon fiber barrel system proven to deliver sub-half-minute accuracy from the factory. If you're glassing ridges all day, packing into high country, or simply demand a rifle that shoots as well as it carries, this is a serious contender.

The Backcountry 2.0 Ti Carbon strips away excess ounces without sacrificing performance. A tensioned carbon fiber barrel, Peak 44 Blacktooth carbon fiber stock (the lightest production carbon fiber stock available), and titanium hardware keep the scale hovering around 5.4 pounds. The action features spiral fluting on the bolt body, a lightweight aluminum extended skeletonized handle, and exposed carbon fiber alongside raw titanium—sealed by black ceramic Cerakote—for a purpose-built aesthetic that looks as capable as it performs.

Recoil management comes from the second-generation 3DHEX recoil pad, a 3D-printed system with interlocking voids that progressively collapse during firing, stretching out the impulse and taming the 6.5 WBY RPM's magnum kick. The threaded muzzle accommodates Weatherby's Accubrake ST—a 30-port design tuned to match the barrel profile that further reduces felt recoil and muzzle blast. Together, these features make a magnum-class rifle genuinely pleasant to shoot, even during long practice sessions.

Stock in a practical two-tone grey and white pattern, the Backcountry 2.0 Ti Carbon delivers the accuracy hunters expect from Weatherby, wrapped in a package light enough to make distance a feature, not a burden.

Frequently Asked Questions

What makes this rifle so light compared to other backcountry bolt actions?

The Backcountry 2.0 Ti Carbon combines three major weight reductions: a titanium Mark V action (stronger than steel but significantly lighter), a carbon fiber barrel system, and the Peak 44 Blacktooth carbon fiber stock—currently the lightest production carbon fiber stock available. Spiral fluting on the bolt body and a skeletonized bolt handle trim additional ounces. The result is a 5.4-pound rifle that doesn't feel like it's compromising on stiffness or accuracy.

How accurate is the 6.5 WBY RPM barrel?

The carbon fiber barrel system in this rifle has an impressive track record. In 2021, a Mark V rifle equipped with this same barrel design set an internal Weatherby accuracy record with a 0.06-inch three-shot group at 100 yards using factory Weatherby Select Plus ammunition. Of course, real-world accuracy depends on ammunition, shooter skill, and conditions, but this barrel has proven itself consistently reliable.

Will the recoil be manageable with a magnum cartridge at this weight?

Yes. The second-generation 3DHEX recoil pad uses 3D-printed technology with interlocking voids that progressively collapse during recoil, extending the impulse duration and substantially reducing felt kick. Combined with the 30-port Accubrake ST muzzle brake, even the 6.5 WBY RPM—a magnum-class round—produces notably moderate recoil. This dual-system approach is designed to make the rifle pleasant to shoot during practice and hunting.
