If you’re a left-handed shooter who hunts the backcountry, the Weatherby Mark V Backcntry Ti 2 6.5CM LH is built to go the distance without weighing you down. This rifle pairs a titanium action with a carbon-fiber stock, keeping the total weight under six pounds while still chambering the flat-shooting 6.5 Creedmoor. It’s a serious tool for serious terrain, and from the moment you shoulder it, you’ll feel the difference.

Key Features
- Titanium Action — Why it matters: Saves nearly a pound over steel, so you can carry more gear or hike farther without fatigue.
- Carbon-Fiber Stock with Adjustable Comb — Why it matters: Keeps the rifle light and lets you dial in cheek weld for a perfect sight picture, even with a scope.
- Fluted, #2 Contour Barrel — Why it matters: Reduces weight and helps the barrel cool faster between shots, maintaining accuracy on follow-ups.
- TriggerTech Trigger — Why it matters: Gives you a crisp, adjustable pull (down to 2.5 lbs) so you can break clean shots without creep.
- Left-Hand Configuration — Why it matters: Designed specifically for left-handed shooters, with a reversed bolt handle and ejection port for natural cycling.
Who It’s For
This rifle is for the left-handed hunter who spends more time in the alpine than at the range bench. It’s ideal for sheep, goat, or mule deer hunts where every ounce matters, and you need a rifle that can handle a 1,000-yard shot if the wind cooperates. It also suits the shooter who wants a premium, lightweight build without custom gunsmith wait times.
Pros & Cons
- Pro: At 5.9 lbs, it’s one of the lightest production left-hand rifles in 6.5 Creedmoor — you’ll notice the difference on a long uphill climb.
- Pro: The TriggerTech trigger is adjustable and breaks like glass, which helps when you’re shooting from an awkward position.
- Con: The carbon-fiber stock can be slippery in wet conditions — a little Talon grip tape on the forend solves it.
- Pro: The Cerakote finish holds up well against rain, snow, and scratches from rocky terrain.
- Con: At $3,249, it’s a serious investment — but you’re getting a true mountain rifle that’ll last generations.

FAQ
Is the Weatherby Mark V Backcntry Ti 2 accurate out of the box?
Yes. Per Weatherby specs, the rifle is guaranteed to shoot sub-MOA with factory ammunition. Most shooters report groups around 0.75 MOA with match-grade ammo like Hornady ELD-M.
Can I use a suppressor with this rifle?
Yes. The barrel is threaded 5/8-24, and the carbon-fiber stock has a flat forend that clears most suppressor mounts. Just make sure your can doesn’t exceed 1.5 inches in diameter.
How does the titanium action affect recoil?
Because the rifle is light, recoil is more noticeable than a steel-action rifle — think of it as a 6.5 Creedmoor in a 7-pound package. The stock’s recoil pad helps, and a muzzle brake can tame it further.
Is this rifle good for long-range target shooting?
It can handle 1,000-yard steel, but it’s optimized for hunting. The lightweight barrel heats up faster than a heavy varmint contour, so for extended range sessions, you’ll want to let it cool between strings.
What scope mounts work best?
Use Weatherby’s integral Picatinny rail (included) with low or medium rings for a 40mm objective. For a 50mm objective, go with medium or high rings to clear the barrel channel.
