Weatherby 307 Range SF Rifle 7mm PRC 22″ Tungsten

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.
