Weatherby 307 Alpine ST 280 AI Overview
The Weatherby Model 307 is built in Sheridan, Wyoming, on an action that shares the Remington 700 footprint. That compatibility means you can choose from a huge range of aftermarket stocks, chassis, triggers, and barrels, while enjoying Weatherby’s fit and finish from the factory.
Design and Features
This Model 307 Alpine ST configuration features a Peak 44 Bastion carbon stock, a fluted barrel and bolt that save weight, and a muzzle brake that tames recoil. It weighs about 6.3 pounds and measures 42″ overall. The barrel has a 1:9 inch twist rate and a Mag Sporter contour. The muzzle is threaded 1/2-28. Length of pull is 13.25″.
Handling in the Field
The Model 307 line covers lightweight mountain rifles, long-range precision rifles, and suppressor-ready builds, so there is a configuration for nearly every kind of hunter and shooter.
Action and Trigger
The 307 bolt cycles smoothly, and the trigger breaks crisply for accurate shooting. The action is machined to tight tolerances for consistent accuracy shot after shot.
Sights and Optics
Mount the optic of your choice with quality rings or a mount, and zero it with the load you plan to use.
The 280 Ackley Improved Cartridge
The 280 Ackley Improved blows out the shoulder of the classic 280 Remington to gain velocity, giving a flat trajectory and excellent performance on deer, sheep, and elk with moderate recoil.
Setup and Accessories
Start with a quality optic and solid rings or a mount, then add a sling for carrying and a bipod or shooting bag for steady rests. Test a few loads for accuracy and settle on the one your rifle likes best. A hard case protects your investment on the way to the range or the field.
Ownership Tips
Read the owner manual fully before your first range trip, and keep the manual, box, and receipt with your records for warranty service and resale. Unload the rifle and confirm it is empty before cleaning. Field-strip it according to the owner manual, scrub the bore with a brush and patches, and wipe carbon from the bolt face and chamber. Apply a light coat of quality gun oil to the contact points, and wipe the exterior with a lightly oiled cloth before storage.
State Laws
Magazine capacity limits, feature restrictions, and transfer rules vary by state and locality. Check your local laws before ordering, and ask your receiving dealer if you are unsure whether this configuration is legal where you live.
Ordering and Transfer
When you order a firearm from MAG5 Firearms, we ship it to the licensed dealer you choose. Your dealer completes the ATF Form 4473 and the background check, and may charge a transfer fee. Local buyers can complete the transfer at our shop. Bring a valid ID, and check your state waiting period before you plan a hunt or a range trip.
Safe Storage
Store the firearm unloaded in a locked safe or case, with ammunition kept separately. A cable lock or trigger lock is a good backup, especially in a home with children or visitors. Keep the original box and paperwork, and record the serial number in a safe place in case the gun is ever lost or stolen.
