The .280 Ackley Improved has earned a loyal following for good reason. It pushes 7mm bullets fast and flat with less recoil and powder than the big magnums, and the Weatherby 307 Range XP2 gives that cartridge a proper home. The heart of this rifle is the Model 307 action, the first new Weatherby centerfire action since the 1960s. It is a two-lug, fully cylindrical design built on the familiar 700 footprint, which means a huge world of aftermarket stocks, triggers, rails, and mounts will bolt right up if you ever want to tinker down the road.
The 24 inch skip-fluted barrel wears a Graphite Black Cerakote finish and a 1:9 twist that stabilizes the heavy, high-BC bullets the .280 AI loves. The muzzle is threaded 1/2×28 and topped with Weatherby's radial Accubrake, which knocks felt recoil down considerably, and it comes off easily if you would rather run a suppressor. The TriggerTech Field trigger breaks clean with zero creep and adjusts externally down to 2.5 pounds, and the three-piece fluted bolt strips down for cleaning without any tools. A Magpul detachable magazine feeds the action, and the rifle accepts AICS-pattern mags if you want spares.
The hand-painted synthetic stock features a vertical grip, an adjustable cheekpiece, and spacer-adjustable length of pull from 13.5 to 14.25 inches, so getting a proper cheek weld behind a big scope is simple. Dual front swivel studs let you run a bipod and a sling at the same time. Every Model 307 is built in Sheridan, Wyoming and carries Weatherby's sub-MOA guarantee, a three-shot group under an inch at 100 yards from a cold barrel with quality ammo. At 7.5 pounds bare, it is light enough to carry on a hunt but steady enough to stretch out at the range.
No, this rifle ships without sights or optics. The Model 307 receiver is drilled and tapped and uses a common 700-pattern footprint, so scope bases and rails are easy to find. Plan on budgeting for a quality scope to take advantage of what the .280 Ackley Improved can do at distance.
Yes. The 24 inch barrel is threaded 1/2×28, and the factory Accubrake spins off so you can mount a can directly. If you shoot without a suppressor, the radial Accubrake does a great job taming recoil, cutting felt kick substantially.
It ships with one 5-round Magpul detachable box magazine and is compatible with AICS-pattern magazines, so spares are affordable and easy to find. That is a nice perk of the Model 307 being built around widely supported industry standards.
Weatherby backs every Model 307 with a sub-MOA guarantee, meaning a three-shot group of .99 inch or less at 100 yards from a cold barrel with Weatherby factory or premium ammo. The 1:9 twist barrel handles heavy 7mm bullets well, and the TriggerTech Field trigger makes it easy to shoot up to that guarantee.
