The Weatherby Mark V Capra in 308 Winchester is a backcountry-focused lightweight rifle built for hunters and shooters who refuse to compromise on performance or pack weight. Starting at just 4 pounds, this is one of the lightest production rifles available—a game-changer for long days in steep country where every ounce matters. The foundation is Weatherby's battle-tested Mark V 6-lug short action, machined from titanium to shed weight without sacrificing strength or reliability.
Weight savings extend throughout the platform. The barrel is a thin-profile design with double-spiral fluting that cuts mass while adding structural rigidity across the length of the barrel. That dual-spiral pattern isn't just for looks; it's engineered to maintain sub-MOA accuracy despite the lightweight construction. The stock is a modified Peak 44 Blacktooth design that trims ounces on the trail while keeping recoil management and ergonomics in mind—you won't feel like you're shooting a toy, even in a lightweight package.
The Capra's finish reflects its mountain-rifle DNA. The barrel, receiver, bolt, bolt knob, and safety wear a Graphite Black Cerakote hard coating that resists the elements and the bumps of field use. The stock pairs exposed carbon fiber with a grey-and-rust sponge pattern accent—both functional and distinctive. This is a rifle that looks as thoughtfully engineered as it actually is.
Whether you're hunting at elevation, glassing ridges in September, or chasing long-range opportunities, the Mark V Capra delivers a rifle that won't beat you up on the way there. It's Weatherby's statement on what a modern lightweight hunting rifle should be.

The Mark V Capra combines multiple weight-saving innovations: a titanium action, thin-profile barrel with double-spiral fluting, and a minimalist stock design. Each element is optimized for low mass without sacrificing strength or accuracy potential.
Yes. Despite the lightweight design, the double-spiral fluting in the barrel adds rigidity, and the Capra is engineered to deliver sub-MOA accuracy, making it suitable for precise hunting applications at distance.
The 308 Winchester is a proven, reliable cartridge with excellent ballistics and wide ammunition availability. Paired with the Capra's lightweight profile, it's an effective choice for mountain hunting where every pound counts.
The Weatherby Mark V Capra ships as a complete rifle. Scope and other accessories are sold separately.
