Owners of the Mark V Backcountry Guide TI appreciate the titanium receiver as a meaningful weight reduction compared to steel-actioned alternatives. The 6.5 WBY RPM chambering draws attention for its velocity and relatively mild barrel wear compared to the larger Weatherby magnums.

Handling gets positive marks for a rifle of this class. The 22-inch barrel keeps overall length manageable in tight terrain, and most owners find the balance acceptable. A common note is that the short barrel does produce a noticeable muzzle blast with the RPM cartridge.

On value, opinions split. The titanium action commands a premium, and some buyers feel the price is justified by the weight savings and out-of-the-box precision. Others compare it unfavorably to steel-actioned competitors at a lower price point and question whether the titanium upgrade is worth the cost.
