Description
Weatherby built the Model 307 as its first new action in over 50 years, and the Alpine ST might be the sweet spot of the whole lineup. It takes the 2-lug, fully cylindrical 307 action, drops it into a Peak 44 Bastion carbon fiber stock that weighs a mere 24 ounces, and hangs a spiral-fluted 20 inch barrel off the front. In 6.5 Creedmoor with a 1:8 twist, you get a rifle that stabilizes the high-BC bullets this cartridge is famous for while staying light enough that you stop noticing it on your shoulder halfway up the ridge. Every metal surface wears Graphite Black Cerakote, so a week of wet weather in elk country is not going to leave its mark.
What Makes the 307 Alpine ST Shoot
Every Model 307 comes with Weatherby's sub-MOA guarantee: a 3-shot group of .99 inches or better at 100 yards from a cold barrel with factory or premium ammo. The TriggerTech trigger does a lot of the heavy lifting there, with a zero-creep break and external adjustment down to 2.5 pounds. The bolt is spiral fluted with a skeletonized handle to trim weight, uses an M16-style extractor for positive ejection, and breaks down without tools for quick field cleaning. Up front, the included Accubrake ST cuts felt recoil by as much as 53 percent, and the 1/2×28 threads mean spinning on a suppressor is as easy as removing the brake.
An Alpine ST That Grows With You
Because the 307 action follows the Remington 700 footprint, this rifle is one of the most open platforms Weatherby has ever offered. Stocks, triggers, rails, and mounts from the huge 700 aftermarket generally bolt right up, so you can leave it stock or build it into something all your own down the road. The Bastion stock is no placeholder either, with an ambidextrous palm swell, a deep thumb groove, dual sling studs on the forend, and a 3D-Hex recoil pad that takes the sting out of shooting light rifles. Built in Sheridan, Wyoming, this is a serious backcountry setup that earns its keep at the range too.

Frequently Asked Questions
Does the Weatherby 307 Alpine ST come with an accuracy guarantee?
Yes. Every Model 307 rifle is guaranteed to print a 3-shot group of .99 inches or less at 100 yards from a cold barrel using Weatherby factory or premium ammunition. The guarantee applies within two years of the verified purchase date for the original purchaser. Between the TriggerTech trigger and the fluted barrel, most of these will do it without much fuss.
Can I run a suppressor on the 307 Alpine ST?
You can. The barrel is threaded 1/2×28, and the Accubrake ST simply spins off so you can mount a can in its place. The 20 inch barrel in 6.5 Creedmoor is a popular suppressor pairing since it keeps overall length manageable once the extra hardware is on the muzzle.
Is the Model 307 action compatible with Remington 700 parts?
For the most part, yes. The 307 is a fully cylindrical, 2-lug action built on the 700 footprint, so a large chunk of the aftermarket in stocks, triggers, rails, and mounts will fit. That was one of Weatherby's main goals with this platform, and it makes the Alpine ST an easy rifle to customize later on.
Is a 20 inch barrel enough for 6.5 Creedmoor hunting?
Absolutely. You give up roughly 100 to 150 fps compared to a 24 inch tube, but the 6.5 Creedmoor still carries plenty of energy for deer, antelope, and similar game at practical hunting distances. What you gain is a shorter, quicker-handling rifle that is much easier to maneuver in timber, on a tripod, or with a suppressor attached.
