Description
There is something about a walnut stocked Weatherby that just feels right, and the 307 Adventure SD nails that look without living in the past. The fancy walnut Monte Carlo stock wears a rosewood forend tip and grip cap with maple spacers and a diamond inlay, the kind of detail work that made Weatherby famous decades ago. Underneath all that wood sits the Model 307, the first new action Weatherby has designed in over 50 years, built at their headquarters in Sheridan, Wyoming.
A Modern Action Behind the Classic Walnut
The 307 is a two-lug, fully cylindrical push feed action patterned to be compatible with the huge world of aftermarket 700 platform stocks, triggers, rails, and bottom metal, making it the most open platform in the Weatherby lineup. The bolt features an M16 style extractor for positive extraction and breaks down completely without tools, so cleaning it in camp takes about a minute. From the factory you get an externally adjustable TriggerTech Field trigger with a true zero-creep break, a two-position safety, and a hinged floorplate holding three rounds down with one in the chamber. The receiver, barrel, and bolt components are coated in Graphite Black Cerakote to shrug off weather in the field.
6.5-300 Weatherby Magnum: Flat, Fast, and Far
This chambering is one of the fastest 6.5s on the market, pushing bullets at velocities that flatten trajectories and stretch your effective range on elk, mule deer, and pronghorn way out there. The fluted 26 inch barrel keeps weight reasonable at 7.7 pounds, and the included Accubrake takes real sting out of the recoil. The muzzle is threaded 1/2×28, so you can swap the brake for a suppressor if that is more your style.
Accuracy You Can Count On with the Adventure SD
Every Model 307 rifle carries Weatherby's sub-MOA guarantee: a three-shot group of .99 inch or less at 100 yards from a cold barrel with Weatherby factory or premium ammo. That is a real promise on a rifle this good looking. Add a quality scope, since it ships without sights, and you have a legitimate cross-canyon hunting rig that will draw compliments at the truck tailgate too.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is the Weatherby 307 Adventure SD compatible with Remington 700 accessories?
Yes, and that is one of the biggest draws of the Model 307 platform. The action is patterned after the 700 footprint, so it accepts a wide range of aftermarket stocks, triggers, scope bases, and bottom metal. Weatherby calls it the most open platform in their lineup, so upgrading down the road is easy.
Does the 307 Adventure SD come with a scope or sights?
No, this rifle ships without sights. The receiver is drilled and tapped for scope bases, and since it uses the common 700 pattern, finding rings and rails is simple. Given the long range potential of the 6.5-300 Weatherby Magnum, a quality magnified optic is the way to go.
How accurate is the Weatherby 307 Adventure SD?
Weatherby guarantees every Model 307 rifle will shoot a three-shot group of .99 inch or less at 100 yards from a cold barrel with Weatherby factory or premium ammunition, valid for two years from the verified purchase date. Independent range testing of this exact chambering has backed that up, with the fluted barrel printing consistent groups even with the fast-moving 6.5-300.
How bad is the recoil with the 6.5-300 Weatherby Magnum?
The 6.5-300 Wby Mag burns a lot of powder, but this rifle is set up to tame it. The factory Accubrake noticeably cuts felt recoil, and the classic Monte Carlo stock shape was designed to direct recoil away from your face. Between the two, it is far more pleasant to shoot than the ballistics might suggest, though ear protection is a must with the brake installed.
