Weatherby Mark V Backcountry 2.0 Ti Carbon .240 Wby Mag 26" Rifle

The Weatherby Mark V Backcountry 2.0 Ti Carbon is a lightweight long-range hunting rifle built for backcountry hunters who won't compromise on accuracy. Chambered in .240 Weatherby Magnum with a 26-inch carbon fiber barrel, this rifle strips weight without sacrificing the precision needed for distant shots in steep country. The titanium action, carbon fiber stock, and advanced recoil management make it a serious choice for hunters covering miles on foot to find their target.

At 5.3 pounds, the Backcountry 2.0 Ti Carbon achieves its featherweight status through relentless material science: a titanium Weatherby Mark V action paired with the Peak 44 Blacktooth stock—among the lightest carbon fiber stocks in production. The tensioned carbon fiber barrel carries a track record of sub-half-minute accuracy, backed by a 0.06-inch three-shot group set with factory Weatherby ammunition. That's the kind of precision hunters trust when the opportunity is a one-shot affair.

Recoil management comes from two innovations working together. The Accubrake ST titanium muzzle brake features 30 symmetrically-spaced ports engineered to tame magnum recoil impulse, while the second-generation 3DHEX recoil pad—the first 3D-printed pad in production firearms—uses interlocking voids that collapse progressively to stretch out the sharp kick of magnum loads. That means less felt recoil and a more comfortable shot, even in dense country where a good shooting position is rare. The bolt body carries pronounced spiral fluting to reduce weight and bearing surface, paired with a lightweight aluminum extended skeletonized knob for smooth, fast cycling. Every component is spec'd for the job: raw titanium action, exposed carbon on barrel and stock, and all steel work sealed under black ceramic Cerakote. The Peak 44 stock wears a practical grey and white pattern to break up the rifle's outline in the field.

This is a rifle for the hunter who spends more time above timberline than on a shooting bench and values every ounce on the approach.

Frequently Asked Questions

How accurate is the .240 Weatherby Magnum Backcountry 2.0 Ti Carbon?

The carbon fiber barrel and Mark V action combination is known for precision. In 2021, a Mark V equipped with this barrel system achieved a 0.06-inch three-shot group at 100 yards using factory Weatherby Select Plus ammunition, setting an internal Weatherby accuracy record. That level of consistency supports long-range hunting applications.

Is the Backcountry 2.0 Ti Carbon suitable for backcountry and mountain hunting?

Yes. At 5.3 pounds, it's designed specifically for mountain and backcountry hunters who need to cover distance on foot. The lightweight titanium action, carbon fiber barrel, and Peak 44 carbon fiber stock combine to minimize weight while maintaining the barrel quality needed for reliable precision shots in remote terrain.

How does the Accubrake ST muzzle brake reduce recoil?

The titanium Accubrake ST features 30 symmetrically-spaced ports that redirect gases to manage recoil impulse. When paired with the 3DHEX 3D-printed recoil pad, which uses progressive-collapse voids to stretch out the recoil pulse, the system tames the sharp kick of .240 Weatherby Magnum loads for a more manageable shooting experience.

What finish and colors does this rifle come in?

The action is finished in raw titanium, all steel components are sealed under black ceramic Cerakote, and the barrel and stock expose natural carbon fiber. The Peak 44 Blacktooth stock features a grey and white pattern designed to break up the rifle's outline in the field.
