Weatherby 307 Hush 6.5 Creedmoor Camo Rifle – Superb Adjustable Stock

Description

The Weatherby 307 Hush 6.5 Creedmoor Camo is the easy shooting member of the HUSH Edition family and probably the most broadly useful. It runs a 20 inch fluted magnum sporter barrel with a 2 inch brake and a fast 1 in 8 twist, weighs 7.3 pounds bare, measures 41.5 inches overall and holds five rounds. The stock is hydrodipped HUSH Tundra camo with adjustable comb and length of pull. The UPC is 747115460632. MAG5 Firearms lists it as a deer rifle you can shoot all day.

The Case for 6.5 Creedmoor Here

6.5 Creedmoor earned its reputation honestly: high ballistic coefficient bullets, mild recoil, superb factory ammunition availability and enough terminal performance for deer, antelope and black bear at real distances. As a 6.5 creedmoor hunting rifle the Weatherby 307 Hush 6.5 Creedmoor Camo gives you all of that in a package already set up for tripod shooting, which is where most of these rifles actually get used.

The 1 in 8 twist matters. It stabilizes the heavy 140 to 147 grain bullets that give the cartridge its wind performance, and at 20 inches the barrel loses very little velocity compared with a 24 inch tube because 6.5 Creedmoor was designed around efficient powder charges. In exchange a Weatherby 307 Hush 6.5 Creedmoor Camo carries and handles rather than hanging at the muzzle.

The setup is the real value. A peak 44 arca rail adapter on the forend and a PEAK 44 Picatinny rail on the receiver mean a tripod clamp, ARCA bipod or sling attachment mounts with nothing extra bought. Underneath is the Weatherby Model 307: two lugs, an M16 style extractor, tool-less bolt disassembly and Remington 700 compatibility across stocks, triggers, rails, mounts and magazines.

Practical Notes and Limits

The brake is optional in practice. 6.5 Creedmoor at 7.3 pounds already recoils gently, and many Weatherby 307 Hush 6.5 Creedmoor Camo owners fit the supplied thread protector to keep the noise down rather than chasing the last bit of recoil reduction. That is a sensible choice on this cartridge in a way it is not on a magnum. The thread is 1/2-28 either way, so both options are simple.

The hush tundra camo stock is a hydrodipped custom pattern rather than an applied wrap, so it will not lift at the edges over time. Comb height and length of pull both adjust, with length of pull running 13.5 to 14 inches, so the rifle fits a heavy coat in December and a shirt in September. Set the comb on a Weatherby 307 Hush 6.5 Creedmoor Camo to your scope before you zero, because most shooters skip that step and then fight the rifle for years.

Two honest limits. At 7.3 pounds this is not a backcountry ultralight, so anyone counting ounces should look at a carbon stocked model instead. And 6.5 Creedmoor, for all its virtues, is a deer and antelope cartridge rather than an elk cartridge in most hands. It will do the job with good bullets and good placement, but a fluted barrel bolt action in 30 caliber is the safer choice for big animals.

Who Should Buy It

A Weatherby 307 Hush 6.5 Creedmoor Camo suits the hunter who wants a rifle that is pleasant to practice with, cheap to feed, effective on deer sized game at distance, and set up for tripod work straight out of the box. If you are buying one rifle and you hunt whitetail, mule deer or antelope, this is a very easy recommendation. Full factory specifications are published by Weatherby.

For elk, moose or bear, step up to the 300 Winchester Magnum version of the same rifle. If you want a 30 calibre with milder recoil and common ammunition, the 308 Winchester version sits between the two. Browse the rest of our rifles to compare chamberings and weights.

Practical notes. Spend your money on glass rather than accessories, because the rail and ARCA adapter are already fitted and the 700 footprint means upgrades are easy later. Buy rings matched to the PEAK 44 rail. And pick one factory load, confirm it and build a drop chart from it: a Weatherby 307 Hush 6.5 Creedmoor Camo is accurate enough that the limiting factor will be your data, not the rifle.
