About this product
What is the Weatherby 307 Alpine ST Rifle 25 Creedmoor 22″? It's a lightweight precision bolt-action rifle built for long-range shooting and hunting applications where weight reduction and modularity are critical. Built on Weatherby's Model 307 action, this rifle features carbon-fiber construction and specialized muzzle management for disciplined shooters who prioritize both accuracy and portability.
What is the Weatherby 307 Alpine ST Rifle used for?
This rifle is designed for precision long-range shooting and hunting scenarios where reduced carry weight matters. The 25 Creedmoor cartridge delivers flat trajectories with minimal recoil, making it ideal for targets beyond 500 yards. Combined with the carbon-fiber stock and fluted barrel, it's built for mountain hunting or extended field sessions where every ounce counts.
How does the Weatherby 307 Alpine ST compare to the Stevens 334 Rifle?
The Weatherby 307 Alpine ST outperforms the Stevens 334 in both weight reduction and precision features, though at nearly triple the price. Where the Stevens 334 weighs 7.3 pounds and uses a basic synthetic stock, the Weatherby weighs just 6.2 pounds with its Peak 44 Bastion carbon-fiber stock and includes spiral-fluted barrel and Accubrake ST muzzle brake. The Weatherby is better for serious long-range shooters who need modularity and weight savings, while the Stevens 334 serves budget-conscious hunters adequately.
What does it weigh and what are the dimensions?
The rifle weighs 6.2 pounds (99.2 ounces) and measures 42 inches in overall length with its 22-inch barrel. The carbon-fiber stock contributes significantly to the weight savings, shaving nearly 1.5 pounds compared to traditional walnut or fiberglass alternatives. Barrel diameter measures 0.750 inches at the muzzle, tapering to accommodate the spiral fluting pattern.
Who is this NOT for?
This rifle is not for beginners or budget-conscious shooters who don't need premium weight reduction features. The $1899 price point puts it in competition with custom-built alternatives, and the 25 Creedmoor caliber requires handloading or specialized ammunition that isn't as readily available as .308 Winchester. If you're looking for a basic hunting rifle under $600, consider the Stevens 334 in .243 Win instead.
What's in the box?
The rifle ships with one 5-round detachable magazine, the installed Accubrake ST muzzle device, and standard mounting hardware for optics. Weatherby includes basic owner's documentation and a limited lifetime warranty card. Unlike some competitors, no additional rails or trigger upgrades are included—expect to spend another $200-400 on rings, bases, and optics.
Is the Weatherby 307 Alpine ST worth it at $1899?
Yes, if you specifically need the weight savings and precision features for mountain hunting or competition shooting. The carbon-fiber stock and fluted barrel provide tangible benefits in the field, reducing fatigue during extended carries. At this price, you're paying for Weatherby's reputation and the specialized 25 Creedmoor chambering—just understand that ammunition costs will run $2.50-3.00 per round for quality match-grade loads.

Frequently asked questions
- Is it compatible with aftermarket stocks?
- Yes, the Model 307 action uses a standardized inlet pattern that accepts most aftermarket stocks designed for short-action rifles. The recoil lug spacing is 5.125 inches center-to-center, matching common Remington 700 patterns. You'll need to verify specific stock compatibility, but most major manufacturers like McMillan or Manners offer direct-fit options.
- Does it come with a threaded barrel for suppressors?
- The barrel is threaded 5/8x24 TPI to accept the factory Accubrake ST muzzle device. This standard thread pattern allows direct mounting of most .30 caliber suppressors from brands like SilencerCo or Dead Air. Remember that suppressor ownership requires ATF Form 4 approval and typically a 9-12 month wait for tax stamp processing.
- How long does shipping take?
- Firearm shipments typically process within 3-5 business days once all required documentation is received. All rifles ship via FedEx with adult signature required, and transit time averages 2-4 days depending on your location. You must provide a copy of your FFL dealer's license before shipment can be arranged.
- Can I return it if it doesn't fit?
- Firearms sales are generally final once transferred through an FFL, unless there's a manufacturer defect. We recommend handling the rifle at your local dealer before purchase—length of pull measures 13.5 inches, and the comb height is 1.625 inches at the heel. Returns for fit issues are not accepted due to federal regulations surrounding firearm transfers.
- Does this work with PMAGs?
- No, the Weatherby 307 uses proprietary magazines specific to the Model 307 platform. While the magazine well dimensions are similar to AICS pattern magazines, the latch and feed lip geometry is different. Weatherby magazines run $45-55 each, and aftermarket options are currently limited to MDT and Wyndham Weaponry.
