Weatherby Model 307 Alpine CT  

I really think weatherby does a great job building true hunting rifles.

Weatherby is amazing these days!

Started listening to the podcast and knew immediately this was one I had to watch on RU-vid!!!

Great review- totally agree on the dead air space being an insulator not a conductor of heat for the barrel.

Thank you for the review! I have been looking at those at multiple stores the last few weeks. I have 2 Wetherby Vanguards that i really love (well, only 1 now - the other was stolen at a deer camp where there was multiple groups). The 307 models fit me so well I don't think I can pass on it.

Very cool!

Very nice rifle. This has to be a top pick. The shorter barrel is starting to make a lot of sense. Thanks for sharing.

That rifle looks a lot like my Springfield Waypoint 2020.

While I'm sure that is a fine rifle, isn't it AMAZING that we live in a time where a man can go to ANY sporting goods store and pick up a hunting rifle for almost ANY caliber and it WILL shoot MOA!!! For $500 dollars... OR LESS!!!!!!!!!!!!!! What an awesome time we live in 🙂

At the factory yesterday checking out the 307 !

Excellent rifle for sure, packed full of features without being super crazy expensive in today’s world 🌎, even though I currently can’t afford it. I wish that this was available in a left hand, but since it’s in that 6-6.3 lb range it can be handy enough. I also like that certain cartridges have shorter more appropriate length barrels. No need for a 24-26 in 308 or 6.5 CM etc…

Definitely an intriguing option for when I want a 7PRC, although the new Bergara Carbon Crest in 7PRC is hard to not give the edge. Just due to the fact of how the standard Steel crest in 6.5 PRC has performed for me so far. Any thoughts on the carbon barrel comparison between the two?

I love longer barrels and hate short 22" barrels. Minimum of 24" for standard cartridges like a 708 or 308. If i cant get that in a 24" 708 I'm not interested

I agree a carbon fiber barrell interior actually gets hotter than a solid steel barrel.

Bought my one and only Mark V Weatherby in .300 Weatherby magnum back in 1997. Still going strong. I’m ready for another with all Weatherby is offering these days. Hey Joseph, tell me more about your hat and if the elk backcountry hunting logo will be a new sticker offered? Thanks for everything.

Nice but, Bergara B14 Carbon Crest ftw IMO :) Though I do prefer HFP I still would run with a Bergara barrel. Ultimately though as I think you covered prior with a barreled action and after market stock you can put together what you want which can compare to some of these rifles but a less cost. Cheers Joseph!

Have a seekens precision havak ph2 in 7 prc im very happy with it half inch group so far need to do some hand loads for it see if i get it under that.

Any description of how the action is secured in the stock? Pillars? Aluminum insert / mini chassis?

Not really happy after paying $3,400 for the same brand carbon barrel and stock for a backcountry 2.0. Then they make this model for $1200 cheaper. Kills resale on mine

I would love to have a weatherby mark v but cannot justify the price. Paying custom built rifle prices for factory guns that from what I have seen have so-so accuracy is crazy. Especially for the guys that don’t reload and buy weatherby ammo at $100 + per box.

Very tempting, compared to Bergara carbon, savage, fierce... although after 2 OK weatherby rifles.... I'd have to think about it...

Left hand models available/ coming?

Please Compare a Remington 700 CDS (Post 2012) to a Remington 700 CDL (Pre 2012) to see if the quality of Remington has really improved and is worth a buy!

Weatherby, take my money now !!

Do they make that rifle with a metal barrel and not the carbon fiber wrapped? How long is the barrel? Thanks for the video?

I like the barrel design, but is Winchester still making the Weatherby ammo?

What’s Weatherby’s warranty these days? Years ago I had a stock that cracked starting at the action screws and they wouldn’t warranty it. Kind of soured me on Weatherby.

Nice. But, I do not hunt with loud brakes, nor long cans which can loosen. My concern is, if I hunt without the brake, will recoil drive the triggerguard into my middle finger knuckle because of the Sniper style vertical grip? Ouch, at the bench! That's why I prefer traditional grips for hunting. Perhaps their pistol grip version resolves this?😮

Got this rifle in 308Win few months ago. I was excited getting it because of really good reviews, but... taking it to a range raised a concern. It does not shoot any better than 2 moa. It paired with Primary Arms 4-16x42 FFP. I tried different ammo from 150 to 180 grain, Federal Fusion, Hornady SST, Norma, Winchester XP. I can shoot my Browning X-bolt 308win same ammo 1moa all day long, but this rifle. I replaced already factory trigger tech with next level trigger tech 1.5-3lb. But still same result, no better than 2moa. Now my next step would be replace cheap stock (it plays a lot at forend) with GRS. What I really like is bolt designand the fact it came with muzzle brake, and fluted barrel.

Weight is one of my biggest factors in a “hunting” rifle for me. Over 7.5 lbs for the bare rifle I eliminate it straightaway. The closer to 6.5 lbs the better. Something I wish more included in their reviews.

Lets get some accuracy testing

Does the safety lock the bolt? If it doesnt then its not a good design. My Rem 700 constantly had the bolt getting opened from carry and in the bush as do some other actions.

The shorter barrel trend is a bad idea IMO, like my 26 in. Barrel on my 7mm-08.

Why should I pay $2k for this when my $850 tikka 3x shoots sub-moa at 100? genuinely asking

Thanks Lets Go Too expensive for me

so nice to have a weatherby option without a 26/28" barrel! 20-24 max!

Buy a stainless tikka n pimp it out for that price

Barrel length?

You had me, until you said short barrel. Its a great rifle, if it’s offered in a 24” barrel
