Description
Weatherby shook things up when they rolled out the Model 307, their first new centerfire action since the 1960s, and the Range XP 2.0 is where that platform really shines for the money. The action is a two-lug, fully cylindrical design with a spiral-fluted bolt that breaks down without tools, and it plays nice with a huge range of aftermarket 700-pattern stocks, triggers, rails, and magazines. That makes this the most open, build-friendly platform in the Weatherby lineup. Every one of these rifles is put together at their headquarters in Sheridan, Wyoming, and backed by a sub-MOA guarantee with factory or premium ammo.
Why the 307 Range XP 2.0 Makes Sense in 7mm PRC
The 7mm PRC has earned its reputation fast, pushing heavy, high-BC bullets that hold up beautifully at distance while staying manageable on the shoulder. This version wears a 22 inch skip-fluted steel barrel with a 1:8 twist to stabilize those long, sleek projectiles, and the muzzle is threaded 1/2×28 with Weatherby's radial Accubrake installed to take the sting out of magnum recoil. Everything metal gets a Graphite Black Cerakote finish, so weather and hard miles in the truck or on the mountain won't beat it up. At 7.4 pounds and 41.75 inches overall, it carries like a hunting rifle, not a bench queen.
Fit and Feel of the Range XP 2.0
The hand-painted green and grey sponge-pattern stock gives each rifle its own look, but the practical stuff is what matters. You get a vertical grip, an adjustable cheekpiece for proper eye alignment behind your glass, and length of pull that adjusts from 13.5 to 14.25 inches with spacers. Dual front sling studs mean you can run a bipod and a sling at the same time. The externally adjustable TriggerTech trigger breaks clean with zero creep, and the two-position safety sits right where your thumb expects it.
The 7mm PRC chambering feeds from a 5-round metal MDT magazine, and the action accepts AICS-pattern mags, so spares are easy to find. The receiver comes drilled and tapped with no sights, ready for the scope of your choice. For elk, mule deer, or stretching steel past where most rifles get nervous, this one is tough to argue with.

Frequently Asked Questions
Does the 7mm PRC version of the 307 Range XP 2.0 come with a different magazine than other calibers?
Yes. Most Range XP 2.0 chamberings ship with a Magpul polymer magazine, but Weatherby includes a metal MDT magazine with the 7mm PRC models. Either way, the rifle accepts standard AICS-pattern magazines, so finding spares is simple.
Is the Weatherby 307 action compatible with Remington 700 accessories?
For the most part, yes. The Model 307 is a fully cylindrical two-lug action designed around the 700 footprint, so it works with a wide selection of aftermarket stocks, triggers, and rails. One thing worth knowing is that scope bases are not a direct swap with standard 700 mounts, so pick up 307-specific bases or check fitment before you order rings.
How accurate is the 307 Range XP 2.0?
Weatherby guarantees a 3-shot group of .99 inches or better at 100 yards from a cold barrel with Weatherby factory or premium ammunition, good for two years from the verified purchase date. Independent testing and owner feedback back that up, with plenty of groups landing well under an inch using quality factory loads. The 1:8 twist barrel is well matched to the heavy, high-BC bullets 7mm PRC is known for.
Can I remove the Accubrake and run a suppressor instead?
Yes. The radial Accubrake threads onto a standard 1/2×28 muzzle, so it comes off easily and a suppressor or another muzzle device can go right on. Just keep in mind your point of impact can shift when you change muzzle devices, so confirm your zero afterward.
