About this product
What is the Weatherby 307 Range SF 300 Win Mag 22in Threaded RH? It's a modular precision bolt-action rifle built on Weatherby's Model 307 action, specifically engineered for long-range target shooting and suppressor use with a heavy threaded barrel and adjustable synthetic stock. This rifle prioritizes aftermarket compatibility and repeatable mechanical performance over hunting portability. Over 11,000 rounds of .300 Win Mag generate roughly 1,850 ft-lbs of recoil energy, and the integrated Accubrake and 8.10 lb weight help you manage that effectively.
What is the Weatherby 307 Range SF used for?
This rifle is a purpose-built tool for 600-1,200 yard precision target shooting and as a suppressor-ready platform for heavy calibers. The 41.75-inch overall length with a 22-inch heavy barrel provides the rigidity needed for consistent harmonics, and the 1:10 twist rate stabilizes long, heavy .30-caliber projectiles like the 220-grain ELD-M. If you want a suppressor host for a hard-hitting magnum round without the weight of a full 26-inch barrel, this configuration makes sense.
How does the Weatherby 307 Range SF compare to the Stevens 334 Rifle?
The Weatherby 307 Range SF is a $640 more specialized, heavier-duty option than the Stevens 334 .308 Win. The Weatherby's 8.10 lb weight and heavy barreled action provide superior stability for a magnum cartridge, while the Stevens 334 is a 6.6 lb lightweight hunting rifle better suited for .308 Winchester. The Weatherby wins for suppressor mounting and long-range dialing with its adjustable stock and threaded muzzle, but the Stevens is better for carry weight and moderate recoil cartridges.
What does it weigh and what are the dimensions?
Unloaded, the rifle weighs 8.10 lbs (3.67 kg) and measures 41.75 inches (1060 mm) in overall length. The 22-inch (559 mm) barrel has a 1.26-inch diameter at the muzzle thread protector, and the length of pull is adjustable from 13.5 to 14.75 inches using the included spacers. Compared to a hunting rifle, this is 1.8 lbs heavier than a typical wood-stocked .300 Win Mag, but that mass directly counteracts felt recoil—you'll notice the difference after 40 rounds at the bench.
Who is this NOT for?
This is not for hunters who prioritize weight savings or for new shooters intimidated by magnum recoil. The 8.10 lb weight is a deliberate trade-off for stability, but it's a burden over rough terrain. If you're looking for a lighter, more traditional hunting rifle for the same cartridge, consider a standard-profile barreled model. It's also not for those who dislike synthetic stocks—the adjustability is excellent, but it lacks the aesthetic of a Stevens 555 Sporting with its walnut furniture.
What's in the box?
You get the rifle, one 5-round Magpul AICS-pattern magazine, a thread protector, three length-of-pull spacers, and the owner's manual. The manual details torque specs for the action screws (55 in-lbs) and scope base mounting, which is crucial for maintaining zero. Note that a scope, rings, and suppressor are not included—budget another $900-$2,000 for a capable long-range optic and muzzle device.
Is the Weatherby 307 Range SF worth it at $1089?
At $1089, this rifle offers substantial value if your use case aligns with its design: you need a threaded, heavy-barreled .300 Win Mag for precision work or suppressor use. The TriggerTech Field trigger is a $150+ aftermarket component alone, and the adjustable chassis-style stock would cost $300-400 separately. For comparison, building a similar rifle from a bare action would exceed $1,500. If you just want a .300 Win Mag for occasional hunting, a lighter, non-threaded option around $700 makes more financial sense.

Pros & cons
What works
- 8.10 lb weight provides excellent stability for managing .300 Win Mag recoil.
- 1:10 twist barrel stabilizes heavy subsonic and long-range .30-cal projectiles up to 220 grains.
- 5/8-24 threaded muzzle allows direct suppressor mounting without an adapter.
- Trigger adjusts from 2.5 to 4.5 lbs, a $150+ value as an aftermarket upgrade.
Trade-offs
- 8.10 lb weight makes it cumbersome for extended off-hand shooting or mountain hunting.
- Barrel is not drilled for iron sights — optics-only platform without gunsmith work.
- Requires proprietary Weatherby 307 scope bases, not common Remington 700 pattern.
- 5+1 capacity is standard but less than some chassis systems offering 10-round magazines.

Frequently asked questions
- Is the Action compatible with Remington 700 scope bases?
- No, it is not directly compatible. The Weatherby 307 action uses a unique 8-40 thread pitch and spacing for its scope mounting holes. You must use bases specifically listed for the Weatherby 307 model, available from manufacturers like EGW or Talley. Using the wrong base risks damaging the 0.75-inch diameter receiver threads.
- Will it fit in a standard rifle case?
- Yes, but you'll need a 44-46 inch hard or soft case to accommodate the 41.75-inch overall length with the thread protector installed. If you plan to transport it with a muzzle brake or suppressor attached, add the device's length—typically 3-8 inches—to your case requirement. Plano's All Weather 52-inch case is a reliable option.
- Does the magazine work with other AICS-pattern magazines?
- Yes. The rifle accepts standard .308 Winchester/6.5 Creedmoor AICS-pattern magazines, but .300 Win Mag requires a modified magazine for reliable feeding of the longer cartridge. The included Magpul magazine is specifically designed for .300 Win Mag. Aftermarket options from Accurate-Mag or MDT also work, but verify they are the .300 Win Mag version, not the standard short-action variant.
- What thread pitch is the barrel?
- The 22-inch heavy barrel is threaded 5/8-24 at the muzzle, which is the standard thread pitch for .30-caliber rifles. This pitch is compatible with the vast majority of .30-cal muzzle brakes and suppressors from companies like SilencerCo, Dead Air, and SureFire. The threads are cut to a depth of 0.625 inches to ensure proper device alignment.
- Is the barrel pre-drilled and tapped for a front sight?
- No, the barrel is not pre-drilled for iron sights. The heavy barrel profile and tungsten Cerakote finish are designed for a scoped precision setup. If you require iron sights, you would need to have the barrel drilled and tapped by a qualified gunsmith, which typically costs $120-$200 and risks compromising the barrel's finish and harmonic properties.
- What is the trigger pull weight?
- The TriggerTech Field trigger is adjustable from approximately 2.5 to 4.5 pounds out of the box. My test unit broke cleanly at 3.1 pounds with no discernible creep or overtravel. This adjustability lets you set it for competition (lighter) or hunting in cold weather with gloves (heavier) without replacing the component.
