Description
The Model 307 is the first new Weatherby action since the 1960s, and the Range XP 2.0 shows why it was worth the wait. This .300 Win Mag version runs a two-lug, fully cylindrical action built on the familiar 700-pattern footprint, which makes it the most open platform Weatherby has ever offered. Stocks, rails, triggers, mounts, AICS magazines, the aftermarket is wide open if you ever want to tinker. Every one of these rifles is machined and assembled at Weatherby's headquarters in Sheridan, Wyoming, and each carries the company's sub-MOA guarantee: a three shot group under an inch at 100 yards from a cold barrel with quality factory ammo.
What the Range XP 2.0 Brings to the Bench
The 24 inch skip-fluted steel barrel wears a Graphite Black Cerakote finish and comes threaded 1/2×28 with Weatherby's radial Accubrake installed. That brake matters on a .300 Win Mag. Its radial port design spreads gas evenly and can cut felt recoil by as much as half, which makes long range sessions a lot more pleasant and helps you spot your own hits. When it's time to run a suppressor, the universal threads have you covered. The externally adjustable TriggerTech Field trigger breaks with zero creep and minimal overtravel, and you can dial it down to around 2.5 pounds without pulling the action from the stock. A two-position safety and tool-less bolt takedown round out a smartly designed action, with an M16-style extractor handling extraction and ejection duties.
A Stock That Fits You, Not the Other Way Around
The hand-painted synthetic stock has a vertical grip, an adjustable cheekpiece to line your eye up behind the scope, and spacers to set length of pull to your frame. Textured touch points keep your grip planted in wet weather, and dual front swivel studs let you run a bipod and sling at the same time. A Magpul AICS-pattern 5 round detachable magazine feeds the rifle. The receiver comes drilled and tapped with no sights, so plan on picking out glass worthy of what this cartridge can do. For elk country, open plains, or steel at distance, this one earns its keep.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is the Weatherby 307 Range XP 2.0 compatible with Remington 700 aftermarket parts?
For the most part, yes. The Model 307 action is built on a 700-pattern footprint, so most 700-compatible stocks, chassis, triggers, and bottom metal will work, and it feeds from standard AICS magazines. One heads up on optics: some 700 scope bases don't line up perfectly with the 307 receiver, so look for mounts confirmed to fit the Model 307 or use the 8-40 screw pattern options that owners report working well.
How bad is the recoil on this .300 Win Mag?
Much softer than you'd expect from the cartridge. The included radial Accubrake disperses gas evenly and can reduce felt recoil by up to 53 percent, which puts it closer to a standard short action cartridge in feel. The trade-off is more muzzle blast, so double up on ear protection at the bench.
Does the 307 Range XP 2.0 come with any accuracy guarantee?
It does. Weatherby guarantees every Model 307 rifle will print a three shot group of .99 inches or less at 100 yards from a cold barrel when fed Weatherby factory or premium quality ammunition. That's a strong promise for a factory rifle at this price point, and range reports back it up.
Can I run a suppressor on this rifle instead of the muzzle brake?
Yes. The 24 inch barrel is threaded 1/2×28, and the Accubrake simply spins off so you can mount a can with the appropriate thread mount. A thread protector is included if you'd rather shoot with a bare muzzle.
