Description
Weatherby spent five decades building rifles on the Mark V and Vanguard actions before deciding it was time for something new. The Model 307, named for Wyoming's area code, is the result, and the Range XP is the version built for people who want one rifle that works at the bench and in the field. This one comes chambered in 6.5 Creedmoor with a 24 inch fluted barrel setup, a 22 inch tube plus Weatherby's 2 inch Accubrake, wearing Graphite Black Cerakote over an OD Green synthetic stock.
Why the 307 Action Matters
The 307 is a two-lug, fully cylindrical action cut to the Remington 700 footprint, which opens up one of the biggest aftermarket ecosystems in the bolt gun world. Stocks, rails, triggers, bottom metal, if it fits a 700, odds are good it fits here. Weatherby also gave it an M16 style extractor for positive case removal, a bolt release up on the receiver, 8-40 scope base holes, and a three-piece bolt you can strip down for cleaning without a single tool.
Range XP Features That Earn Their Keep
The TriggerTech trigger breaks clean with zero creep and adjusts externally down to 2.5 pounds, so you can dial it in without pulling the barreled action. Feeding runs through Magpul bottom metal with a 5 round AICS pattern detachable magazine and a handy release lever at the front of the trigger guard. The stock adjusts for both cheek height and length of pull, letting you set it up properly behind a scope instead of adapting yourself to the rifle. The radial Accubrake cuts felt recoil substantially, and its 1/2×28 threads mean a suppressor swaps on easily.
A 6.5 Creedmoor That Backs It Up
The 1:8 twist barrel stabilizes the long, high BC bullets that made 6.5 Creedmoor famous, and Weatherby guarantees sub-MOA performance, a three shot group under an inch at 100 yards from a cold barrel with quality factory ammo. At around 7.3 pounds bare, it is light enough to carry on a deer or antelope hunt but steady enough for a full day of steel at distance. Built in Sheridan, Wyoming, it carries the Weatherby name well.

Frequently Asked Questions
Does the Weatherby 307 Range XP come with a scope or sights?
No, this rifle ships without sights or optics. The receiver is drilled and tapped for 8-40 scope mounts, and since the 307 action uses the Remington 700 footprint, bases and rails are easy to find. Plan on adding a quality scope before heading to the range.
Can I run a suppressor on the 307 Range XP?
Yes. The included Accubrake threads onto a 1/2×28 muzzle, so you can spin the brake off and attach a suppressor or another muzzle device directly. The brake itself uses a radial design that Weatherby says reduces felt recoil by up to 53 percent, which makes this a soft shooter either way.
How accurate is the Weatherby Model 307 Range XP?
Weatherby backs every Model 307 with a sub-MOA guarantee: a three shot group of .99 inches or less at 100 yards from a cold barrel using Weatherby factory or premium ammunition. The 1:8 twist barrel handles the heavier 6.5 Creedmoor match and hunting bullets well, and the adjustable TriggerTech trigger makes it easier to shoot up to that potential.
What magazines does the 307 Range XP accept?
It uses Magpul bottom metal with AICS pattern detachable box magazines, and one 5 round mag comes in the box. AICS is one of the most common short action magazine standards out there, so spares and higher capacity options are widely available. The release lever sits at the front of the trigger guard for quick swaps.
