Weatherby 307 Alpine CT

[j3564wost]

Searched the site and the internet and there doesn't seem to be alot of information out there on the rifle, that isn't sponsored.

Does anyone have any first hand experience?

Looking to purchase one in 7 prc but I'm just too far to a gun store to conveniently put my hands on one.

Thanks!

YouTube had more than a few reviews on that particular rifle. Good looking rifle but no first hand reviews from owners. Prices they are now charging for some of these production rifles should have .75" moa guarantee. It warrants a look! Always root for Weatherby even tho I don't currently own one. Interesting I saw where Nighthawk purchased Cooper Rifles. Now in Arkansas. $$$$$$$$!

Yeah, that's all I was able to find as well. Youtube content that appeared to be sponsored content with no negative reviews on anything. It kinda of surprises me. I feel like a 2k carbon on carbon gun would have guys buying them and showing them off everywhere.

Bought mine in 243 win right after they came out. Shoots Norma 87 grain to 5/8" at 100 yds. It's the least expensive model
at that time they had. Not home now can't send a picture . It's a solid well made rifle. Love it.you can use any thing Remington to. Customize it . Uses savage or stiller round action bases. Good rifle. Tribb

My buddy and I both bought them in the last month... his in 300 win mag mine in 6.5-3...

The stock claims 24 oz. mine is under that by a few ounces!! his 300 winny will lay down .75 moa with production hornady eldx ammo. 178 eldx

My 6.5-3 will do better than that, not going to post how much yet until I have time to triplicate it!

The action is the same as the other 307s. barrel is same as on the markV... seems like a good barrel. I love my proof research barrels and this is probably a touch under them IMO.(so far). stock has amazing feel and finish, only thing we both had to change was that the comb needs to be 3/8 to 1/2 inch higher in order give proper eye relief.

Glad you are enjoying your rifles. I really like the one I have I'm just try to move it to raise funds to pay for a custom being made !

What version 307 did you have? 5/8" groups are **** solid What are you building?

I have a completely custom built hunting rifle in 300HH, on Mack bros titanium evo II, proof research, trigger tech special, a gorgeous Accurate innovations English walnut stock(also fits a peak 44 Bastion I happen to have), Hypertap brake, Zeiss glass. It will put down some crazy almost unbelievable groups for a magnum! built by Geoff Montgomery, Accurate rifles and restoration in Casper, Wy. I highly recommend him as a smith. here is the build video link.



For cost though a 307 Alpine CT is a heck of a buy when you do the math of the components you get for 2000$!! barrel 600, stock 800, 307 action 750, trigger 150, brake 150, j rail 60, smith work 600? $3110 is what it would cost to build the same rifle. lol. to me the 307 CT alpine ALMOST feels like a custom. (they skimped on the bedding though)
A gr8 custom can be built for not much more money ... using great components you can get into one for 3600 without glass. But they are only as good as the smith!!! I have seen some messes!
