New For 2025: Weatherby Model 307 Range XP 2.0 & Alpine ST Rifles

The Model 700 footprint is to the world of bolt-action rifles what the AR-15 design is to their semi-automatic brethren. From precision competition to long-range hunting, an M700 action opens up a world of modularity with aftermarket barrels, triggers, stocks and chassis. Weatherby brought its customers into this world in 2023 with the introduction of the company's Wyoming-made Model 307. New for 2025, the company is introducing two new versions of the 307 with the Range XP 2.0 and Alpine ST.

Weatherby’s Model 307 action uses a cylindrical receiver with a recoil lug and a spiral-fluted, two-lug bolt with an M16-style extractor, threaded-on handle and tool-less takedown. The externally-adjustable TriggerTech Field trigger incorporates a two-position side safety. The two new models are updates of Weatherby’s first two 307s—the Range and Alpine. The Range XP 2.0 mates the 307 action to an all-steel skip-fluted barrel with its muzzle threaded 1/2x28 TPI and capped with Weatherby’s radial Accubrake. Metal components are given a Graphite Black Cerakote finish.

The barreled action is placed in a hand-painted synthetic stock with a vertical pistol grip, adjustable cheekpiece and adjustable length-of-pull through use of spacers. The stock has texturing in the grip and fore-end areas and dual front sling swivel studs for mounting bipods. Compatible with AICS-pattern magazines, a Magpul detachable box is supplied with each rifle, except those chambered in 7 mm PRC, which have a metal MDT magazine. Available in 14 chamberings from .223 Remington to 7 mm Remington Magnum, in both short and long actions, Range XP 2.0 rifles have barrel lengths of 20” to 26” and weigh 7.3 to 7.5 lbs., depending on the chambering. They have an MSRP of $1,279.

The Alpine ST pairs a 307 action with a fixed internal magazine with an all-steel spiral fluted barrel with an Accubrake, and finishes everything in a Graphite Black Cerakote. This combination is placed in a hand-painted Peak 44 Bastion carbon-fiber stock. Weighing 24 ozs., the Bastion stock features an ambidextrous palm swell with thumb grooves and dual front sling swivel studs. 

Available in both short and long action versions in 14 chamberings from .22 Creedmoor to 7 mm PRC, Alpine ST rifles have barrel lengths of 20” to 26” and weigh 6.2 to 6.4 lbs., depending on the chambering. They have an MSRP of $1,999.
