As you age, you tend to improve your economic situation and seek out some of the finer things in life that you have always dream of. Whether that is hunting property, a new pickup truck, or a head to toe layering system from someone like Kuiu, these investments tend to enhance your outdoor pursuits. One area that we all long to upgrade is our hunting rifle. We often find ourselves buying a reasonably priced rifle that does that job, but may not be the Ferrari of the backcountry.

Well, if budget is not a concern and you truly want swing for the fences when it comes to your deer camp load-out, you should seriously consider the Mark V Backcountry Ti from Weatherby. Weatherby is an aspirational brand and the Mark V Backcountry Ti is an aspirational firearm. With a price tag over $3,000 it certainly won’t be the right fit for everyone, but if you can afford the price tag you are getting a rifle built for accuracy and longevity.

Wetherby is an iconic brand with 75 years of precision rifle experience. As a family business, they take their products and the brand seriously, producing some of the most premium factory built rifles on the market today.

To put this rifle to the test, we took it to New Mexico on a cow elk hunt that proved to be a perfect setting. With blowing winds, snow, and temperatures in the low teens any rifle would have been challenged. Check out our video below to see more from the trip and how this rifle performed in the wild.
