Description
Weatherby built the Model 307 action in Sheridan, Wyoming to play nice with the rest of the shooting world, and the Alpine ST is where that idea really pays off. It is a two lug, fully cylindrical action on the Remington 700 footprint, so bases, rings, and aftermarket parts are easy to come by. The bolt is spiral fluted with a skeletonized handle, runs an M16 style extractor for positive ejection, and breaks down for cleaning without a single tool. That last bit sounds small until you are wiping down a rifle in a wall tent after three days of rain.
The Peak 44 Bastion Stock Sets the Alpine ST Apart
The headline here is weight. The Peak 44 Bastion carbon fiber stock comes in at just 24 ounces, which Weatherby and Peak 44 bill as the lightest production vertical grip carbon stock out there. Combined with the fluted 20 inch barrel, this .308 tips the scale around 6.1 pounds bare, the kind of number that matters when you are climbing instead of driving. The stock has an ambidextrous palm swell, a deep thumb groove that puts your hand in the same spot every time, dual sling studs up front for a bipod and sling, and a 3D-Hex recoil pad that takes real bite out of the .308. Graphite Black Cerakote covers the barrel, receiver, and brake so weather is not much of a concern either.
Shooting the 307 Alpine ST in .308 Winchester
The trigger is a TriggerTech field model, externally adjustable with that clean zero creep break the brand is known for. The 1:10 twist barrel stabilizes the full range of common .308 bullet weights, and the threaded muzzle wears Weatherby's Accubrake ST, a radial brake that cuts felt recoil by up to 53 percent. Spin it off and add a suppressor if that is more your style. With 4+1 capacity, a two position safety, and a drilled and tapped receiver ready for your favorite optic, this is a lightweight deer and elk rig that will not punish you at the range while you work up loads.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I run a suppressor on the Weatherby 307 Alpine ST?
Yes. The barrel is threaded, and the factory Accubrake ST simply spins off so you can mount a can in its place. It is a popular setup on this rifle since the light overall weight leaves room in the pack for a suppressor.
What scope mounts fit the 307 Alpine ST?
The Model 307 action is a fully cylindrical design on the Remington 700 footprint, so mounting options are everywhere. The receiver is drilled and tapped for 8-40 screws and accepts Stiller and Savage style bases. Between rings, one piece rails, and Rem 700 aftermarket parts, you will not struggle to find what you need.
How does the .308 recoil in a rifle this light?
Lighter rifles kick harder on paper, but Weatherby addressed it from both ends. The Accubrake ST is a radial brake rated to cut felt recoil by up to 53 percent, and the Peak 44 stock uses a 3D-Hex recoil pad to soak up what is left. With the brake on, most folks find it very manageable for extended range sessions.
Is the TriggerTech trigger on the Alpine ST adjustable?
It is, and you do not have to pull the action from the stock to do it. The TriggerTech field trigger is externally adjustable and delivers a zero creep break with stainless steel internals for consistency shot to shot. Out of the box it is one of the better factory triggers you will find on a hunting rifle.
