Weatherby 307 Alpine CT .243 Win Bolt Action Rifle, 22in Carbon Barrel

Description

Weatherby built the 307 Alpine CT for hunters who count ounces on the way up the mountain but refuse to give up precision when it matters. This .243 Winchester version wears a 22 inch BSF carbon fiber barrel, which uses a 416R stainless steel core sleeved in tensioned carbon. That design leaves air gaps along most of the barrel surface, so it sheds heat quickly and keeps vibrations consistent shot after shot. Weatherby backs the whole setup with a sub-MOA guarantee, a 3-shot group under an inch at 100 yards with factory or premium ammo, and plenty of range reports show it shooting well tighter than that.

The Model 307 Action Behind the Alpine CT

The heart of this rifle is Weatherby's Model 307 action, named after the Sheridan, Wyoming area code where these rifles come from. It is a two-lug, fully cylindrical design with a familiar footprint, which means a huge range of aftermarket stocks, triggers, rails, and mounts will bolt right up if you ever want to tinker. The three-piece bolt breaks down without tools for easy field cleaning, and the two-position safety and TriggerTech Field trigger, externally adjustable down to around 2.5 pounds with a true zero-creep break, make it a pleasure to run.

Alpine CT Carbon Build, Real Carry Weight

The Peak 44 Bastion carbon fiber stock weighs a scant 24 ounces and includes a 3D-Hex recoil pad, though in .243 Win recoil is mild to begin with. Dual sling studs up front give you options for a bipod and sling together. Exposed carbon with WYO brown accents pairs with Graphite Black and Chocolate Brown Cerakote on the metalwork, so it looks as sharp as it shoots. The muzzle is threaded 5/8×24 and ships with Weatherby's directional self-timing Accubrake DST installed, easy to swap for a suppressor. With a 4+1 capacity and a flat-shooting .243 chambering, this is a superb setup for deer, antelope, and long walks after coyotes where every ounce and every shot counts.
