The Weatherby Mark V Capra in 280 Ackley Improved is purpose-built for hunters who refuse to compromise between pack weight and field performance. This lightweight mountain rifle starts at just 4 pounds, making it one of the leanest production rifles available without sacrificing the accuracy and reliability that serious backcountry hunters demand. The Capra combines Weatherby's legendary Mark V action—machined from titanium with six lugs for strength and minimal mass—with a thin-contour barrel finished in Graphite Black Cerakote that's engineered for both speed and durability on the trail.
Weight savings are engineered throughout. The barrel features double-spiral fluting that forms a double helix pattern, reducing mass while maintaining rigidity to deliver sub-MOA accuracy when it counts. The stock is a modified Peak 44 Blacktooth design in exposed carbon fiber with Bridger grey-white and rust-sponge accents—it shaves ounces without compromising ergonomics or recoil control. Every component, from the bolt knob to the safety, wears the same durable Graphite Black Cerakote finish.
The 280 Ackley Improved chambering delivers flat-shooting ballistics in a package light enough to carry all day but capable enough for elk, deer, and other big game across varied terrain. If you've been hunting for a rifle that performs at elevation without weighing you down, the Mark V Capra is built for your hunt.
| Brand | Weatherby |
| Model | Mark V Capra |
| Chambering | 280 Ackley Improved |
| Action Type | Mark V short action, 6-lug |
| Action Material | Titanium |
| Approximate Weight | 4 pounds |

| Stock | Modified Peak 44 Blacktooth, exposed carbon fiber with Bridger grey-white and rust-sponge accents |
| Accuracy | Sub-MOA |
At just 4 pounds, the Capra is designed to minimize fatigue during long hunts at elevation. The titanium action and double-spiral fluted barrel cut weight without compromising rigidity, and the carbon fiber stock preserves ergonomics and recoil control even on a lightweight platform. The result is a rifle light enough to carry all day but built to deliver accurate, ethical shots in remote country.
The 280 Ackley Improved is a flat-shooting, hard-hitting magnum cartridge well-suited to elk, deer, and similar big game. In a lightweight package like the Capra, it offers excellent ballistics for extended-range shooting without the weight penalty of larger magnum rifles.

The double-spiral fluting reduces barrel weight and improves heat dissipation while maintaining barrel stiffness. This design helps deliver the sub-MOA accuracy you need for ethical, long-range hunting without adding unnecessary mass to your pack.
