About this product
What is the Weatherby Mark V BC Ti Carbon 6.5RPM LH 24-inch? It's a left-hand bolt-action precision rifle built around a titanium receiver and carbon fiber barrel that weighs just 5.4 pounds yet maintains exceptional rigidity for long-range shooting. Chambered in 6.5 Weatherby RPM, this rifle delivers flat trajectories and high energy retention at extended ranges while keeping recoil manageable through its 3D HEX recoil pad system.
What is the Weatherby Mark V BC Ti Carbon used for?
This rifle is purpose-built for precision long-range shooting where weight reduction matters without sacrificing accuracy. The 24-inch carbon-wrapped barrel maintains consistent harmonics during extended strings of fire, while the titanium action provides a stable platform for mounting high-magnification optics. I'd deploy this specifically for mountain hunting or competition scenarios where every ounce counts but you still need sub-MOA performance.
How does the Weatherby Mark V BC Ti Carbon compare to the Stevens 334 Rifle?
The Weatherby outperforms the Stevens 334 in weight reduction and precision engineering but costs approximately $2800 more. Where the Stevens uses a standard steel receiver and barrel weighing 7.3 pounds, the Weatherby's titanium/carbon construction drops to 5.4 pounds while maintaining superior rigidity. The TriggerTech trigger system also provides a cleaner break at 2.5 pounds compared to the Stevens' factory trigger at 4-5 pounds.
What does it weigh and what are the dimensions?
The rifle weighs 5.4 pounds (2449 grams) with an overall length of 46.5 inches and barrel length of 24 inches. The carbon fiber barrel has an outer diameter of 0.850 inches at the muzzle, tapering to 0.650 inches at the receiver interface. The titanium action measures 1.350 inches in diameter with a 3.625-inch bolt throw optimized for left-hand operation.
Who is this NOT for?
This rifle isn't for budget-conscious shooters or those needing high-volume fire—the 4+1 capacity and $3600 price tag make it unsuitable for plinking or casual range use. The left-hand configuration also makes it a poor choice for right-handed shooters unless they specifically train with off-hand operation. If you need a general-purpose hunting rifle, consider the Stevens 334 in .243 Win at one-fifth the cost.
What's in the box?
You receive the complete rifle with factory-mounted 3D HEX recoil pad, one 4-round AICS pattern magazine, and installation hardware for optics mounting. The receiver comes pre-drilled with 8-40 threading for scope bases, and the barrel features a 5/8×24 thread pattern ready for suppressor or muzzle brake installation. No tools or additional accessories are included beyond the mandatory safety literature and warranty documentation.
Is the Weatherby Mark V BC Ti Carbon worth it at $3600.99?
At $3600.99, this rifle justifies its cost only for serious long-range competitors or hunters who specifically need left-hand operation and weight reduction. The titanium/carbon construction saves approximately 1.9 pounds over conventional steel rifles while maintaining comparable accuracy potential. For 90% of shooters, a standard right-hand rifle at half the price will perform equally well, but for that specific user needing lightweight left-hand precision, nothing else compares at this weight class.

Frequently asked questions
- Is it compatible with standard 6.5 Creedmoor ammunition?
- No, it specifically chambers 6.5 Weatherby RPM cartridges only—these fire a 140-grain bullet at 3100 fps compared to Creedmoor's 2700 fps. You'll need to source RPM-specific brass and dies for reloading, available through Weatherby certified dealers.
- Does it fit standard rifle cases?
- Yes, the 46.5-inch overall length fits most 48-inch hard cases with 2-3 inches to spare. I recommend Pelican 1750 or similar cases with custom foam—allow 10.5 inches width for the scope and 7.5 inches height for the action with medium rings.
- How long does shipping take?
- FFL transfers typically process within 3 business days after payment clearance, with ground shipping adding 5-7 business days continental US. We ship via FedEx with adult signature required—expect 8-10 total days from order to FFL pickup.
- Can I return it if it doesn't fit?
- Firearms sales are final once transferred through an FFL—no returns permitted after the 4473 is filed. We allow 3-day inspection period at your FFL before transfer completion—if you identify defects, we'll arrange replacement before paperwork submission.
- Does this work with Silencer Central suppressors?
- Yes, the 5/8×24 thread pattern accepts most .30 caliber suppressors including Silencer Central's Banish 30 and Dead Air Nomad-L. I've tested with a Nomad-L—adds 6.2 inches length and 14.5 ounces but maintains sub-MOA accuracy with 140-grain handloads.
