Description
Weatherby built the Model 307 to play nice with the rest of the shooting world, and the Range XP2 is where that idea really pays off. The two-lug, fully cylindrical action rides on a Remington 700 footprint, so triggers, rails, stocks, and mounts from a huge aftermarket will bolt right up. This version comes chambered in .270 Winchester, a cartridge that has been dropping deer and elk for the better part of a century, fed here from a Magpul AICS-pattern magazine through genuine AICS-compatible bottom metal. The 24 inch fluted barrel wears a Graphite Black Cerakote finish, carries a 1-in-10 twist, and is threaded 1/2×28 at the muzzle with Weatherby's radial Accubrake installed to take the sting out of recoil.
A Range XP2 Stock That Fits You
The hand-painted synthetic stock is one of the best parts of this rifle. The near-vertical grip puts your hand in a natural position behind the trigger, the cheekpiece adjusts for height so you can get a proper cheek weld behind whatever scope you mount, and spacers let you dial in length of pull. Textured grip and forend panels keep things secure in wet weather, and dual front swivel studs mean you can run a bipod and a sling at the same time.
Trigger and Bolt Details on the Model 307 Range XP2
The externally adjustable TriggerTech Field trigger breaks clean with essentially zero creep and can be tuned down to 2.5 pounds without pulling the barreled action from the stock. The three-piece bolt strips down without tools for quick cleaning in the field, and the M16-style extractor yanks brass out with authority. A two-position safety sits right where your thumb expects it.
Weatherby backs every Model 307 with a sub-MOA guarantee, promising 3-shot groups under an inch at 100 yards with quality ammo. Built in Sheridan, Wyoming, this rifle comes in at 7.5 pounds bare and 43.75 inches overall, a very workable setup whether you are punching steel or heading into elk country.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is the Weatherby Range XP2 compatible with Remington 700 accessories?
Yes, and that is a big part of its appeal. The Model 307 action is built on the Remington 700 footprint, so it works with a wide range of aftermarket triggers, rails, mounts, and stocks. The bottom metal also accepts standard AICS-pattern magazines, so spare mags are easy to find.
Does the Range XP2 come with a scope or sights?
No, this rifle ships without sights or optics. The receiver comes drilled and tapped, so mounting a base and scope is straightforward. Given the .270 Winchester's reach, a quality 3-9x or 4-12x hunting scope is a natural pairing.
How accurate is the Model 307 Range XP2?
Weatherby guarantees sub-MOA performance from every Model 307, meaning 3-shot groups of .99 inch or better at 100 yards from a cold barrel with Weatherby factory or premium ammunition. The TriggerTech trigger and adjustable stock make it easier to shoot up to that potential.
Can I run a suppressor on the Weatherby Range XP2 in .270 Win?
The muzzle is threaded 1/2×28, so you can remove the factory Accubrake and attach a suppressor or another muzzle device that matches that thread pattern. Out of the box, the radial Accubrake does a nice job cutting felt recoil for range sessions and follow-up shots in the field.
