Weatherby Backcountry Guide Ti 243 22 Overview

The Mark V action was designed by Roy Weatherby in the 1950s to handle his high velocity magnum cartridges. It has a short 54 degree bolt lift for fast cycling and plenty of scope clearance, and magnum versions use a nine lug bolt while standard cartridges use a slimmer six lug bolt. Weatherby backs Mark V rifles with a sub-MOA accuracy guarantee when used with Weatherby or premium factory ammunition. The Mark V Backcountry Guide Ti is a lightweight mountain rifle built to carry far and shoot well when you finally get the chance.
