I know I am not the only one: Weatherby 307

[Nomosendero]

There are action manufacturers that hold tight enough tolerances to make prefit barrels off the tenon print, but I don't think Remington can. Action tolerances have to be held pretty tight. You are not wrong, it just varies between manufacturers. Don't discount a variable shoulder with a barrel nut either. They can be used to make an extremely accurate rifle!

Since this thread is supposed to be about the Weatherby 307, I just want to know (no opinions), does the Weatherby have the tolerances to accept prefit barrels. Either it does or it doesn't.

Weatherby’s first new action in over 50 years. The Model 307 was purpose built to accommodate the vast offerings of stocks, triggers, rails, mounts, and bottom metals that exist in the marketplace. The 2-Lug bolt features a convenient “tool-less” takedown for easy disassembly and maintenance...

Why did weatherby say?

Didn't say I asked, I said I had the links, info

Anybody receive theirs yet? Looking for first hand observations on these as it may fit the bill for an upcoming build.

 

[jh2785]

I'm wondering the same.

 

[letrbuck]

Has anyone heard of any prefit offerings yet?

Good question and I have not heard if they will accept Prefits w/o machining. That could be a fun project for later.
I took myself out of the Range rifle market when I saw the mag length was shorter than I wanted for a 300WM, just bought a Seekins PH2, delighted so far.

I am still waiting to see on in the wild actually on the shelf in a shop. I am super interested in the fast twist 243.

I have seen one 307 on the shelf here in Wyoming so far. They are built just north of here, so you should be seeing them soon.

The stripped action is $750

I would be more interested in the Mark V action, since you can't get the twist rate I would want in a 7 mm Weatherby magnum. But I suppose the Remington clone would work.

 

[PatriotHenry]

I like the faster twist rate for 243 win and 240 WBY. It would also be nice to have a faster twist rate in 257 WBY for heavier bullets.

Yeah, looks like they are coming around on a few calibers with faster twists, but not all.

 

[PatriotHenry]

Well Browning seems to get it with faster twist models. Having faster twist does not mean you cannot shoot lighter bullets. A 1:9 twist on a 300WM does not prevent shooting factory ammo at all but does give better opportunity to shoot heavier in a cartridge designed to do so. A rifle should take into account the end use of factory ammo and the potential for reloaders.

Building a rifle that has flexibility to satisfy more end users is smart marketing not catering to anyone.

This!
