Weatherby Mark V Capra 240 Weatherby Magnum 21" Bolt Action Rifle

When designing the Weatherby Backcountry Capra Rifle, their engineering team went back to the drawing board to see how light a rifle they could build without sacrificing shootability, accuracy, or performance.At the heart of the rifle are 6-lug short and 6-lug standard actions fabricated from titanium. Titanium offers an exceptional strength-to-weight ratio and is naturally corrosion-resistant, making it ideal for hunts in unforgiving conditions. Historically, the 6-lug short action was only offered in the classic Varmintmaster Deluxe, but when they relaunched the action in 2025 they made it compatible with the .308 case family, unlocking its potential for a true lightweight mountain rifle.Weatherby experimented with many barrel fluting options over the years, and the Capra takes that work to the next level with double spiral fluting that forms a double helix.
