The Weatherby Mark V Capra TI in 25CM with a 17-inch barrel is a precision tactical rifle engineered for shooters who demand sub-MOA accuracy in a lightweight, corrosion-resistant platform. This model combines the legendary Mark V action with a titanium finish and a carbon fiber stock, delivering a rig that performs under adverse conditions without excess weight. The 25CM chambering offers flat trajectory and low recoil, making it ideal for law enforcement and competitive long-range work.

Key Features
- #4 Contour Fluted Barrel – The 17-inch stainless steel barrel with radial fluting reduces weight while increasing surface area for faster heat dissipation. This maintains consistent accuracy during extended strings of fire, critical for tactical or match use.
- Adjustable Trigger – The two-stage trigger is user-adjustable from 2.5 to 4.5 pounds, allowing you to dial in a crisp break for precision shots. Per Weatherby specs, this trigger system is designed for repeatable, creep-free performance.
- Carbon Fiber Stock – The Bell & Carlson carbon fiber stock with aluminum bedding block provides a rigid, moisture-resistant foundation. This eliminates point-of-impact shifts caused by stock flex in humid or wet environments.
- Threaded Muzzle – The 5/8×24 threaded muzzle accepts standard suppressors or muzzle brakes. When suppressed, the 25CM’s already mild recoil becomes negligible, aiding follow-up shot speed.
Who It’s For
This rifle is built for law enforcement marksmen, military precision shooters, and serious competitors who need a portable, corrosion-resistant platform for field use. The 25CM chambering bridges the gap between 6mm Creedmoor and .243 Winchester, offering high ballistic coefficients in a short-action format. If you work in maritime, jungle, or alpine environments where rust is a constant threat, the titanium Cerakote and stainless steel components provide a distinct advantage.
Pros / Cons
- Pro: Lightweight at 6.5 lbs – easy to carry on long patrols or stages.
- Pro: Sub-MOA accuracy guarantee – verified with factory match ammunition.
- Pro: Corrosion-resistant finish – ideal for humid or coastal operations.
- Con: The 17-inch barrel reduces muzzle velocity by approximately 100-150 fps compared to a 24-inch barrel. This limits maximum effective range for extended long-range engagements beyond 800 yards.

FAQ
What is the effective range of the Weatherby Mark V Capra TI in 25CM?
With the 17-inch barrel, the 25CM cartridge delivers reliable accuracy to 800 yards using 135-150 grain match bullets. Beyond that, velocity drop becomes significant. For consistent hits past 800 yards, consider a longer barrel option.
Does this rifle come with a scope base or rings?
No, the Mark V Capra TI ships without optics or mounting hardware. It uses a standard Picatinny rail (not included) compatible with most 20 MOA bases. We recommend a one-piece base for proper alignment.
Can I use this rifle for hunting?
Yes, the 25CM is legal for medium game like deer and antelope in most states. The lightweight build and short barrel make it maneuverable in brush. However, the titanium finish may reflect light, so camouflage wrap is advised for stalking.
Is the barrel threaded for a suppressor?
Yes, the 17-inch barrel has a 5/8×24 thread pattern, standard for .30-caliber suppressors. A direct-thread or QD mount will fit without adapters. Suppressor use voids the factory accuracy guarantee due to potential point-of-impact shift.
