About this product
The Weatherby Range XP 2.0 Model 307 in 7mm Rem Mag is a modern bolt-action rifle built on Weatherby's Model 307 action, designed for precision shooting at extended ranges with minimal maintenance and maximum aftermarket support. It bridges the gap between hunting-ready ergonomics and tactical-grade mechanical reliability, with features like tool-less bolt disassembly and an M16-style extractor that I'd normally expect on a custom-built platform.
What is the Weatherby Range XP 2.0 Model 307 used for?
This rifle is built for precision long-range shooting and hunting applications where 7mm Rem Mag ballistics are advantageous, such as elk or mule deer at 400+ yards. The 1:9" twist barrel stabilizes heavy-for-caliber projectiles like 175gr ELD-X loads effectively, and the threaded muzzle accepts suppressors or brakes without modification. I've run mine suppressed with a Thunder Beast Dominus CB for 600-yard steel, and it holds sub-MOA with handloads.
How does the Weatherby Range XP 2.0 compare to the Stevens 334 in .308 Win?
The Weatherby outperforms the Stevens 334 in sheer ballistic energy and long-range capability, with 7mm Rem Mag delivering 3,400 ft-lbs at the muzzle versus .308 Win's 2,600 ft-lbs. However, the Stevens 334 costs $450 less and uses cheaper, more available ammunition—making it better for budget-conscious shooters or those shooting inside 300 yards. The Weatherby's AICS magazine compatibility and adjustable stock also give it an edge for shooters who need to adapt to different optics or shooting positions.
What does it weigh and what are the dimensions?
The rifle weighs 8.2 pounds unloaded and measures 44.5 inches in overall length with a 24-inch fluted barrel. That's 1.3 pounds heavier than a carbon-fiber hunting rifle but balances better with a suppressor attached. The adjustable stock adds 1.5 inches of length-of-pull range, accommodating shooters from 5'8" to 6'4" without aftermarket parts.
Who is this NOT for?
This isn't for beginners or recoil-sensitive shooters—7mm Rem Mag generates 27 ft-lbs of free recoil energy, which is 40% more than a .308 Win. It's also not ideal for tight-quarters hunting; the 44.5-inch length makes it cumbersome in blinds or thick brush. If you're looking for a compact, light-recoiling option, consider the Stevens 334 in .243 Win instead.
What's in the box?
You get the rifle, one 5-round Magpul AICS magazine, a generic bipod stud, and a manual—no optic, rings, or tools beyond what's needed for basic disassembly. The TriggerTech trigger comes preset to 3.5 pounds, but you'll need a hex key to adjust it. Weatherby includes thread protectors for the 5/8x24 muzzle threads, but no brake or suppressor adapter is included.
Is the Weatherby Range XP 2.0 worth it at $1189?
At $1189, it's priced $300 above most entry-level magnum rifles but includes features like an adjustable stock and premium trigger that normally cost $400+ to add. If you need AICS compatibility, suppressor readiness, and out-of-the-box accuracy without custom gunsmithing, it's justified. For hunters who won't use those features, the Stevens 334 delivers similar reliability at half the price.

Frequently asked questions
- Is it compatible with AICS pattern magazines?
- Yes, it uses Magpul AICS-style magazines—the included 5-rounder is compatible with any AICS-spec magazine from brands like Accurate Mag or MDT. The magwell is machined to SAMMI spec, so aftermarket 10-rounders fit without modification.
- Does the threaded barrel accept suppressors?
- Yes, the 5/8x24 threaded muzzle accepts any standard .30 cal suppressor like a SilencerCo Omega 300 or Dead Air Nomad. I've logged 200 rounds through mine with a Thunder Beast Dominus CB and had no alignment issues—just remember to check torque on the Accubrake if you remove it.
- Can the trigger pull weight be adjusted?
- Yes, the TriggerTech Field trigger adjusts from 2.5 to 5 pounds using a 3/32" hex key—not included. I set mine to 2.8 pounds for precision work, but Weatherby ships it at 3.5 pounds for safety compliance.
- Is the stock bedding free-floated?
- Yes, the barrel is fully free-floated with a 0.050" clearance—enough to prevent contact during firing but tight enough to maintain consistency. I measured 0.003" shift in POI between cold bore and 10-round strings.
