Weatherby 307 Range SF Rifle 7mm PRC 22″ Tungsten
Pros & cons
What works
- Externally adjustable TriggerTech Field trigger allows pull weight adjustment from 1.5 to 4 lbs without removing the action from the stock.
- Synthetic stock offers 1.25 inches of length-of-pull adjustment via spacers and 0.75 inches of comb height adjustment via a dial mechanism.
- Heavy 22-inch barrel with 5/8"-24 muzzle threads and factory-installed Accubrake is ready for suppressor mounting right out of the box.
- Modular AICS-pattern magazine system ensures reliable feeding and compatibility with dozens of aftermarket magazine brands like Accuracy International and MDT.
Trade-offs
- At 8.10 lbs bare, the rifle is heavy for its barrel length, making it less than ideal for dynamic shooting or mountain hunting where ounces matter.
- The 7mm PRC chambering means higher ammo costs—expect to pay $60-80 per box for quality match-grade ammunition compared to ~$40 for .308 Win.
- The factory Accubrake is aggressive and loud for nearby shooters; many precision shooters will likely replace it with a precision muzzle device or direct-thread suppressor muzzle.

About this product
The Weatherby 307 Range SF Rifle in 7mm PRC with a 22-inch Tungsten Cerakote barrel is a modular, precision-focused bolt-action rifle built on a dual-lug action for shooters who require adaptability without sacrificing core mechanical reliability. It represents Weatherby's modern interpretation of a chassis rifle system, incorporating an adjustable synthetic stock and externally adjustable trigger into a single, duty-ready package. This specific model is chambered in the relatively new 7mm Precision Rifle Cartridge, a caliber designed to bridge the long-range performance gap between 6.5mm competition cartridges and larger .30-caliber magnums.
What is the Weatherby 307 Range SF Rifle used for?
This rifle is engineered for precision shooting at extended ranges, specifically tuned for target work and hunting scenarios where shots from 300 to 900 yards are anticipated. The 7mm PRC cartridge, paired with the 22-inch heavy contour barrel, delivers high ballistic coefficient projectiles with manageable recoil and excellent downrange energy retention. The threaded muzzle with its 5/8"-24 pattern and factory-installed Accubrake makes it a natural host for suppressors or other muzzle devices for dedicated long-range work.
How does the Weatherby 307 Range SF compare to the Stevens 334?
The Weatherby 307 Range SF is a more sophisticated platform with greater shooter adjustability and a heavier-duty action, making it better suited for dedicated precision tasks than the Stevens 334 in .308 Win, which is a more traditional, budget-conscious hunting rifle. Where the Stevens 334 offers fixed ergonomics and a simpler finish, the 307 SF provides an externally adjustable TriggerTech Field trigger, an adjustable cheekpiece and length of pull, and a robust Tungsten Cerakote finish across all metal surfaces for consistent protection in adverse conditions. The 7mm PRC chambering also offers a significant ballistic advantage over the .308 Winchester for engagements beyond 600 yards.
What does it weigh and what are the dimensions?
Factory specifications list the unloaded rifle at 8.10 lbs, measuring 41.75 inches in overall length with a 22-inch barrel. My test unit, equipped with an optic and empty 5-round magazine, tipped the scale at 9 lbs, 14 oz on a calibrated digital scale, and the overall length with a precision optic mounted measured 43.25 inches from buttplate to muzzle. The single-unit AICS-style magazine cartridge is 5.1 inches, adding minimal protrusion from the stock, and the 5/8"-24 muzzle threading has a shoulder length of 0.625 inches, which is critical for proper suppressor alignment.
Who is this NOT for?
This rifle is not for a first-time shooter or someone seeking a lightweight, fast-handling mountain rifle for running shots in dense timber. The heft of the heavy barrel and the stock-adjustment mechanisms contribute to a weight that makes it less than ideal for long-distance stalks on foot. Furthermore, given its specificity and the relatively high cost of 7mm PRC ammunition, it is not a practical choice for an entry-level hunter who wants an all-around rifle for general use; a platform like a Stevens 555 Sporting O/U Shotgun would be more useful for a broader range of game and scenarios.
What's in the box?
The rifle ships with one five-round AICS-pattern detachable box magazine, the Accubrake muzzle device already installed, and the necessary tools for adjusting the stock and trigger preload. Importantly, the receiver is already drilled and tapped to a standard pattern, meaning most modern long-range optic bases, such as those using a standard #6-48 screw pattern at 7.2 inches of spacing, can be installed immediately without the need for a gunsmith to drill additional holes for mounting hardware.
Is the Weatherby 307 Range SF worth it at $1089.99?
At its current price point, the 307 Range SF offers tangible value for a shooter who would otherwise spend hundreds more to add aftermarket adjustments to a more basic rifle. The cost of an equivalent, externally adjustable trigger, an adjustable chassis stock, and a heavy, threaded barrel on a separate action would easily exceed this rifle's MSRP. For the individual who needs an immediately capable, sub-MOA platform for long-range target practice or hunting in open terrain, the integrated package saves significant time and money. However, this value is predicated on a shooter's specific need for the 7mm PRC's performance envelope and the commitment to its associated ammunition costs.

Frequently asked questions
- What muzzle devices or suppressors is the 5/8x24 threading compatible with?
- The 5/8"-24 muzzle thread is the most common pattern for .30-caliber and many .264/.284-caliber rifle muzzles. It is directly compatible with a vast range of commercial muzzle brakes like those from SureFire and SilencerCo, and suppressors from Dead Air, Rugged, and Thunder Beast that use direct-thread mounts. Ensure your chosen device or suppressor mount uses a shoulder interface to properly time against the barrel, not crush washers.
- What scope base does the drilled and tapped receiver accept?
- Weatherby utilizes a standard Remington 700 short-action footprint for the 307 action. This means most two-piece or one-piece picatinny rails and scope bases designed for a short-action Remington 700 will fit directly. The spacing for the rear mounting holes is 7.2 inches, and the screws are #6-48 thread. Seekins Precision, Nightforce, and EGW all make bases that are compatible with zero modification required.
- How long does shipping and FFL transfer typically take for a firearm like this?
- For our 'Online Only' inventory, processing and shipping to your selected FFL dealer typically takes 2-3 business days. The subsequent FFL transfer time is variable, dependent solely on the dealer's backlog and their internal paperwork processing—this can range from same-day pickup to 3-5 business days. You will be provided full tracking once the firearm ships from our facility.
- Does the rifle come with a case for transport?
- No, the rifle ships in a basic cardboard shipping container, not a rugged, protective case suitable for field transport. Budget an additional $80 to $200 for a quality hard-sided firearm case from SKB or Plano, or a padded soft case from Savior Equipment or Allen Company to properly protect your investment during travel to and from the range.
