Description
The Weatherby 307 Hush 300 Win Mag is the short barrelled version of the HUSH Edition, built on the Model 307 action with a 22 inch fluted magnum sporter barrel and a 2 inch brake. It weighs 7.4 pounds bare, measures 41.75 inches overall and holds five rounds. The stock is hydrodipped HUSH Tundra camo with an adjustable comb and length of pull, and a PEAK 44 Picatinny rail and forend ARCA adapter are fitted from the factory. The UPC is 747115460595. MAG5 Firearms lists it for elk and big game hunters.
A Short Magnum Hunting Rifle That Comes Ready
Most rifles need two or three accessory purchases before they are set up the way a serious hunter wants. The Weatherby 307 Hush 300 Win Mag arrives with the rail already on the receiver and a peak 44 arca rail adapter on the forend, so a tripod clamp, an ARCA bipod or a sling attachment all mount without buying anything. For anyone who glasses from a tripod and then shoots from the same tripod, a Weatherby 307 Hush 300 Win Mag is a genuine head start.
Underneath is the Weatherby Model 307, a two lug fully cylindrical action with an M16 style extractor, tool-less bolt disassembly for field cleaning and Remington 700 compatibility across stocks, triggers, rails, mounts and magazines. That compatibility is the quiet argument for the platform, because parts and upgrades come from the largest aftermarket in the industry rather than from one catalog.
The 22 inch barrel is the right call for a carrying rifle. It gives up roughly 100 feet per second against a 26 inch tube, which matters very little at hunting ranges, and in exchange a Weatherby 307 Hush 300 Win Mag clears brush, fits a scabbard and balances neutrally rather than hanging at the muzzle. Fluting on a fluted barrel bolt action of this contour trims weight and adds cooling surface without giving away stiffness.
Recoil, Ammunition and Real Limits
300 Winchester Magnum is the most widely available 30 caliber magnum in North America and that is most of its appeal. As a 300 win mag hunting rifle this will take elk, moose and bear cleanly past 400 yards, and you can replace lost ammunition at almost any counter in the country. Compared with a proprietary Weatherby round, that logistical simplicity is worth more than a small velocity advantage on most hunts.
Recoil is real. At 7.4 pounds with the brake fitted, a Weatherby 307 Hush 300 Win Mag is manageable for most adults from a rest, and without the brake it is a genuine magnum push. The brake also makes it loud, so hearing protection every time and a warning to anyone beside you. The muzzle thread is 1/2-28 if you want a thread protector instead. MAG5 Firearms does not stock or transfer suppressors, which need ATF approval and a tax stamp.
Barrel life on a hard used magnum is finite and fluting does not change that. Confirm zero in two or three shot groups with real cooling time, build a drop chart the same way, and save volume practice for a cheaper rifle. Most Weatherby 307 Hush 300 Win Mag owners will never shoot one out, but anyone planning heavy range use should know the throat wears faster than it would on a 30-06 or a 308.

Who Should Buy It
A Weatherby 307 Hush 300 Win Mag makes sense for the elk, moose or bear hunter who wants a magnum that is short enough to carry and handle, set up for tripod work out of the box, and chambered for a cartridge available everywhere. It is a working rifle rather than a showpiece, which is exactly what the HUSH Edition was designed to be. Full factory specifications are published by Weatherby.
If you want a flatter trajectory for open country deer and antelope, the 257 Weatherby version of the same rifle shoots flatter with much less recoil. If weight is the priority, the 307 Alpine MDT Carbon in 300 Win Mag saves nearly a pound and folds for pack carry. Browse the rest of our rifles to compare.
Practical notes. Fit a scope with good eye relief, because a braked magnum still moves and a short setup will find your eyebrow. Choose a bonded or monolithic bullet for elk sized game. And buy rings matched to the supplied PEAK 44 rail rather than assuming, because getting the height right the first time saves an afternoon. A Weatherby 307 Hush 300 Win Mag rewards a careful setup.
