Weatherby raises the bar for lightweight mountain rifles with the introduction of the Mark V Backcountry Capra. Starting at just 4 pounds, the Backcountry Capra is the lightest production bolt-action rifle available and sets a new benchmark for backcountry performance without compromise.

When designing the Backcountry Capra, the Weatherby team went back to the drawing board to answer a simple question. How light can a rifle be without sacrificing accuracy, shootability, or durability?

At the core of the Capra are Weatherby’s 6 lug short and 6 lug standard Mark V actions, precision machined from titanium. Titanium offers an unmatched strength-to-weight ratio and is naturally corrosion resistant, making it ideal for extended hunts in harsh environments. Historically, the 6 lug short action was limited to the Varmintmaster Deluxe, but its relaunch in 2025 with compatibility for the 308 case family unlocked the foundation for a true ultralight mountain rifle.

Extensive barrel development led to the Capra’s thin contour barrel with double spiral fluting that forms a double helix. This design removes the maximum amount of material while increasing rigidity and surface area. The result is faster cooling, improved stiffness, and consistent sub MOA accuracy. Each chambering is offered with optimized barrel lengths, all thoroughly tested to ensure ballistic performance remains outstanding despite shorter profiles. Read more
