Roy Weatherby always said the .257 Weatherby Magnum was his personal favorite, and once you see what it does downrange it is easy to understand why. Pushing 100 grain bullets past 3,600 fps, it is one of the flattest shooting cartridges you can buy, which makes it a natural fit for pronghorn, mule deer, and open country hunts where the shot might stretch out further than you planned. The Alpine CT gives that classic speed demon a thoroughly modern home, built right at Weatherby's headquarters in Sheridan, Wyoming.
The 24 inch BSF barrel starts life as a 416R stainless match blank, then gets sleeved in carbon fiber and loaded under tension. That tension keeps the bore straighter as things heat up, so you get a stiff, fast cooling barrel at a fraction of the weight of a steel tube. Up front, Weatherby's Accubrake DST is directional and self timing, taking real bite out of the .257's recoil without any shimming headaches. The Peak 44 Bastion stock weighs a mere 24 ounces and wears a hand painted finish with WYO brown and sponge pattern accents over exposed carbon, plus dual sling studs and a 3D Hex recoil pad. All in, you are hauling a rifle in the low six pound range up the mountain.
The two lug, fully cylindrical Model 307 action is the most open platform Weatherby has ever built. It accepts most aftermarket 700 pattern parts, uses 8-40 screws, and ships with a Peak 44 Picatinny rail installed, so mounting glass takes minutes. The three piece bolt breaks down without tools for easy cleaning, an M16 style extractor keeps cases coming out smoothly, and the TriggerTech Field trigger adjusts externally down to 2.5 pounds with a crisp, zero creep break. A two position safety and 3+1 hinged floorplate round it out, and every Model 307 is backed by Weatherby's sub-MOA guarantee with factory or premium ammo. This is a serious western hunting rig that will not wear you out getting there.
Yes, and that is one of the biggest draws of the Model 307 action. Its fully cylindrical two-lug design accepts most aftermarket 700 pattern stocks, triggers, and bottom metal, making it the most open platform Weatherby offers. The receiver is also drilled for 8-40 screws and works with Stiller and Savage pattern scope mounts, though the included Peak 44 rail means you are ready for rings out of the box.
The .257 Weatherby is one of the milder magnums to begin with, since it launches lighter 25 caliber bullets. The Accubrake DST knocks the felt recoil down considerably, and the Peak 44 stock's 3D Hex recoil pad and comb design soften what is left. Most folks find it very manageable, though ear protection is a must with any braked rifle.
It does. Weatherby guarantees every Model 307 rifle will print a 3-shot group of .99 inch or better at 100 yards from a cold barrel using Weatherby factory or premium ammunition. The guarantee applies to the original purchaser within two years of a verified purchase.
It shines on pronghorn, deer, and similar sized game, especially in open country where its flat trajectory takes the guesswork out of holdover. With 100 grain loads running around 3,600 fps, it reaches way out there with minimal drop. Loaded with tough, heavier bullets, plenty of hunters have used it on elk-sized animals as well.
