The weatherby mark v backcountry guide ti .300 win mag 22-inch is a purpose-built lightweight precision rifle for shooters who demand long-range performance without the pack weight.

This is a rifle that works as hard as you do on the clock or in the field.

Key Features
- Titanium Action & Receiver – Why it matters: Sheds over a pound compared to steel actions, so you can carry more ammo or glass without fatigue during long stages or mountain hikes.
- Fluted, Threaded 22-Inch Barrel – Why it matters: The fluting dissipates heat faster for sustained strings, and the threaded muzzle accepts your suppressor or brake without gunsmithing.
- Machined Titanium Accubrake ST Muzzle Device – Why it matters: Cuts recoil by up to 53% (per Weatherby), letting you spot your own hits through the scope and stay on target for follow-ups.
- Adjustable TriggerTech Trigger – Why it matters: Crisp, creep-free break down to 2.5 lbs gives you the consistency to call your shots at 800+ yards, whether in PRS or a backcountry hunt.
- Peak 44 Blacktooth Fixed Stock – Why it matters: Carbon-fiber construction keeps weight low while the ergonomic comb and grip deliver repeatable cheek weld and recoil management.
Who It’s For
This rifle is for the competition shooter who wants a lightweight .300 Win Mag for PRS, NRL Hunter, or long-range tactical matches. It also fits the precision hunter who needs a sub-6.5 lb rifle that still prints sub-MOA with factory match ammo. If you’re building a lightweight ELR rig and hate carrying dead weight, this is your platform.
Pros & Cons
- Pro: Titanium build saves serious weight (6.0 lbs) without sacrificing stiffness.
- Pro: TriggerTech trigger is adjustable and delivers a clean, predictable break.
- Pro: Accubrake ST is effective enough to spot impacts at 800 yards.
- Con: The 22-inch barrel in .300 Win Mag means muzzle velocity is about 75–100 fps slower than a 24-inch tube, so you lose a bit of wind-bucking ability at extreme range.

FAQ
What is the twist rate of the barrel?
The barrel has a 1:10-inch twist rate, optimized for heavy-for-caliber bullets (180–215 gr) common in long-range competition and hunting.
Does it come with scope rings or a rail?
No, the receiver is drilled and tapped for #8-40 screws and accepts a standard 20 MOA rail (sold separately). You’ll need to mount your own optics base.
