Titanium Mark V Action – Strength & Lightweight Performance
At the core of the Backcountry Guide TI is the advanced titanium Mark V action, optimized for hunters who cover serious ground:
Titanium construction delivers outstanding strength and corrosion resistance while significantly cutting weight compared to steel actions.
Retains the Mark V’s famous multi-lug bolt design for exceptional lockup, safety, and stiffness.
Reduced overall rifle weight helps minimize fatigue on long climbs, sidehills, and backcountry pack-ins.
The titanium Mark V action makes this rifle a top choice for hunters who measure their gear in ounces but refuse to compromise on reliability or performance.
.300 Winchester Magnum – Proven Big-Game Authority
The .300 Win Mag chambering in this Backcountry Guide TI offers serious, proven big-game performance:
Ideal for elk, moose, large deer, black bear, and other big-bodied game, especially in Western and mountain environments.
Excellent downrange energy and flat trajectories with quality hunting loads.
A long-time favorite among North American and international hunters for its versatility and power.
If your hunts demand a cartridge capable of reaching out across canyons, cuts, and open basins while still hitting with authority, .300 Win Mag remains one of the most trusted options.
22" Barrel + 2" Muzzle Brake – Compact Power & Recoil Management
The Backcountry Guide TI is configured with a 22" barrel and a 2" muzzle brake to optimize handling and control:
22-inch barrel keeps the rifle compact and maneuverable while still providing excellent velocity for .300 Win Mag loads.
Factory-installed muzzle brake adds about 2" of length and significantly reduces felt recoil and muzzle rise, making the powerful .300 Win Mag far more manageable.
Easier recoil makes it simpler to maintain proper shooting form, spot impacts, and follow up if needed, particularly from field positions.
This setup gives you magnum performance without magnum punishment, ideal for extended range sessions and high-stress hunting scenarios.
Built for the Backcountry – Light, Tough & Purpose-Driven
The Mark V Backcountry Guide TI is designed for hunters who tackle rugged country and challenging conditions:
Lightweight build means less strain on your shoulders and back during long hikes, steep climbs, and multi-day hunts.
Premium materials and finishes are selected to handle rain, snow, dust, and hard knocks that come with true backcountry use.
A rifle you can confidently carry from trailhead to high ridge and back, day after day.
If you’re the kind of hunter who goes where the roads don’t—and where pack-outs are measured in miles—the Backcountry Guide TI is engineered to go with you.
Recoil Reduction & Shootability
The combination of titanium action, optimized stock geometry, and the 2" muzzle brake gives this .300 Win Mag a surprisingly shootable character:
The muzzle brake helps tame recoil from full-power .300 Win Mag hunting loads.
Reduced recoil makes extended practice and zeroing sessions more comfortable, encouraging better trigger control and confidence.
Improved shootability supports more precise shot placement at ethical hunting distances.
For hunters who want magnum performance but also value comfort and control, this recoil-managed setup is a major advantage.
Right-Handed Ergonomics – Natural, Fast & Familiar
This configuration is tailored for right-handed shooters:
Bolt handle, safety, and controls are placed for natural, intuitive operation from the right shoulder.
Works seamlessly with a broad range of optics, rings, rails, and sling setups commonly used by right-handed hunters.
Allows for fast, instinctive cycling in the field when quick follow-up shots matter.
If you’re a right-handed hunter seeking a premium mountain rifle, this Mark V Backcountry Guide TI is built around your natural mechanics.
