Weatherby Mbp01N25Rwr3B Mark V Capra 25 Wby Rpm

The Weatherby Mark V Capra in 25 Wby RPM is purpose-built for hunters who measure success not in trophy size but in miles covered and elevation gained. This lightweight mountain rifle starts at just 4 pounds—a remarkable feat for a modern bolt-action centerfire—making it one of the lightest production rifles you can buy. Every ounce saved on the trail is an ounce you don't carry at 10,000 feet, and Weatherby engineered this rifle with that simple truth in mind.

The foundation is Weatherby's Mark V 6-lug short action, machined from titanium to slash weight without compromising the legendary strength of the Mark V platform. The barrel is a thin-contour profile with double-spiral fluting—a helical groove pattern that removes material while simultaneously adding rigidity. That combination is the key to keeping a featherweight rifle capable of sub-MOA accuracy when it counts. The stock is a modified Peak 44 Blacktooth design that continues the weight-conscious theme while maintaining the ergonomic and recoil-control characteristics serious mountain hunters expect.

Finish work is understated and practical: the barrel, receiver, bolt, bolt knob, and safety wear a Graphite Black Cerakote that resists weather and won't catch the sun. The stock—Peak 44 Bridger exposed carbon fiber—features a grey, white, and rust-sponge pattern that breaks up in natural light. Nothing here screams for attention; everything here works in the field.

The 25 Wby RPM is Weatherby's own cartridge, engineered for flat-shooting, energy-efficient performance in a modern rifle. If you're a backcountry hunter who refuses to compromise on accuracy or reliability, who wants the lightest viable rifle capable of delivering at hunting distances, and who doesn't mind a specialty cartridge in exchange for a legendary action—this is the rifle to consider.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is the Weatherby Mark V Capra built for backcountry and mountain hunting?

Yes. Every design choice—from the titanium action to the thin-fluted barrel to the carbon fiber stock—prioritizes weight savings and reliable performance in high-altitude, remote terrain. This is a purpose-designed backcountry rifle, not a compromise.

What is the 25 Wby RPM, and is it easy to find ammunition?

The 25 Wby RPM is Weatherby's proprietary cartridge, designed for flat shooting and efficient energy delivery in modern rifles. Ammunition availability for proprietary cartridges is narrower than for common commercial calibers, so you'll want to confirm supply before committing to this rifle.

Can a 4-pound rifle really deliver accurate, sub-MOA performance?

Yes, but it requires proper technique and often benefits from a rest or solid shooting position. The double-spiral fluting in the barrel adds rigidity that helps maintain accuracy despite the minimal weight. However, a very light rifle will recoil more noticeably than a heavier one, and that recoil management becomes part of the shooter's responsibility.
