Weatherby 307 Range SF Rifle .308 Win 20in Threaded
About this product
The Weatherby 307 Range SF is a bolt-action, suppressor-ready precision rifle chambered in .308 Winchester that bridges the gap between a modern chassis system and a traditional hunting rifle. Built on Weatherby's robust two-lug Model 307 action, it features a 20-inch threaded heavy barrel and a fully adjustable polymer stock. This blend of mechanical specification and user-adaptable ergonomics positions it specifically for the shooter who demands range versatility and compliance readiness for Title II accessories.
What is the Weatherby 307 Range SF used for?
This rifle is engineered for precision shooting disciplines, suppressor-host duty, and as a legal-length hunting platform where a 20-inch barrel provides ballistic efficiency. The primary use-case is establishing a stable, repeatable firing position, enabled by its 7.9-pound weight and adjustable cheekpiece, for groups inside 1.5 MOA with factory match ammunition. The 5/8x24 threaded muzzle is the correct pitch for most .30 caliber suppressors, making this a ready host for NFA-regulated devices without requiring a gunsmith.
How does the Weatherby 307 Range SF compare to the Stevens 334?
The Weatherby 307 Range SF offers superior mechanical precision and accessory readiness compared to the more budget-focused Stevens 334 Rifle, but at a roughly $300 premium. The Stevens 334 uses a simpler, non-adjustable synthetic stock and lacks a factory-threaded barrel, while the Weatherby features a lapped two-lug action, a TriggerTech Field trigger adjustable down to 2.5 pounds, and pre-installed adapters for M-Lok accessory rails. For a shooter prioritizing a basic hunting tool, the Stevens is capable; for one building a modular precision/hunting hybrid, the Weatherby's specifications justify the cost.
What does it weigh and what are the dimensions?
Unloaded, this rifle weighs 7.90 pounds (3.58 kg) with an overall length of 39.50 inches (1,003 mm). The 20-inch (508 mm) heavy-contour barrel has a 1:10-inch twist rate, which stabilizes bullet weights from 150 to 185 grains most effectively for .308 Winchester. The adjustable polymer stock allows for a length-of-pull adjustment range of approximately 1.5 inches and provides 0.75 inches of vertical cheekpiece travel, accommodating a wide variety of shooter builds and optic mount heights.
Who is this NOT for?
This rifle is not a suitable lightweight mountain hunting rifle, as its 7.9-pound bare weight exceeds a dedicated ultralight platform like the Kimber Mountain Ascent by over 2.5 pounds. The trigger, while excellent, is not user-serviceable for springs or sear engagement without special tools from TriggerTech. Finally, the .308 Winchester chambering in a 20-inch barrel yields velocities approximately 100 feet-per-second slower than a 24-inch barrel, making it less than ideal for extreme long-range target shooting (beyond 800 yards) compared to dedicated 6.5 Creedmoor chassis rifles.
What's in the box?
You receive the complete rifle with the Magpul PMAG 5 AICS .308 5-round magazine installed, one 5/8x24 thread protector, and the necessary Allen wrenches for stock and trigger adjustments. The package does not include a scope mount, sling swivels, or a bore guide, which are necessary additional purchases for most users. The manual covers basic function and the factory-provided 1 MOA accuracy guarantee with specified Weatherby ammunition.
Is the Weatherby 307 Range SF worth it at $1,089.99?
At this price point, the rifle offers compelling value for integrating suppressor-ready features, a precision-grade trigger, and modern ergonomics out of the box. The cost of threading a barrel and installing an adjustable stock on a base-model rifle would typically exceed the $300 premium over a model like the Stevens 334. For the shooter who values regulatory compliance (thread pitch), mechanical adjustability, and a platform ready for an optic and suppressor from day one, this rifle justifies its cost by eliminating multiple gunsmithing steps.

Pros & cons
What works
- Factory 5/8x24 threaded muzzle — ready for suppressor mounting without gunsmithing.
- TriggerTech Field trigger adjustable from 2.5 to 5 pounds pull weight.
- Adjustable stock provides 1.5 inches of LOP and 0.75 inches of cheekpiece travel.
- 7.90 lb weight provides stable recoil management for .308 Winchester.
Trade-offs
- Polymer stock lacks the rigidity and harmonics dampening of a full aluminum chassis.
- No swivel studs or QD cups pre-installed — requires aftermarket mounting for a sling.
- 20-inch barrel sacrifices approximately 100-125 fps velocity versus a 24-inch .308 barrel.

Frequently asked questions
- Is the barrel thread compatible with a .30 cal suppressor?
- Yes, the 20-inch heavy barrel is precision-cut with 5/8x24 threads, the standard pitch for nearly all .30 caliber rifle suppressors from brands like SilencerCo, Dead Air, and SureFire. You must verify the thread alignment with an alignment rod (typically .30 caliber) prior to mounting any suppressor to ensure safe operation.
- Does it accept other magazines besides the included Magpul?
- The action is designed to accept standard AICS-pattern .308 magazines. The included Magpul PMAG 5 is one variant, but aftermarket 10-round magazines from Accurate Mag, MDT, or newer Magpul models will function, provided they are for the short-action AICS footprint. Always test fit and function with a new magazine brand before relying on it.
- What is the thread protector torque specification?
- The aluminum thread protector should be hand-tightened only, or torqued to a maximum of 15 ft-lbs. Over-tightening can gall the aluminum threads on the steel barrel. For permanent muzzle device installation, use a crush washer or precision shims and torque to the device manufacturer's specification, usually between 20-30 ft-lbs.
- How long does shipping to an FFL take?
- All firearm shipments from Ironclad Armory are processed within 2 business days of cleared payment and verified FFL information. Transit time via our contracted carrier is typically 3-5 business days to the continental United States. You will receive tracking information once the carrier has scanned the package.
