The Weatherby 307 Adventure SD 6.5mm Creedmoor 22-inch is a two-lug bolt action rifle that merges a modern, competition-ready action with a classic walnut stock. Built on the Weatherby 307 platform, this rifle delivers sub-MOA accuracy out of the box, thanks to a 22-inch fluted and threaded barrel finished in Graphite Black Cerakote. It pairs a TriggerTech trigger with a hinged floorplate magazine, making it a direct choice for precision field work and long-range shooting.

Key Features
- Two-Lug Bolt Action — Why it matters: The 60-degree bolt lift gives you fast cycling between shots, critical when you’re trying to stay on target during a stage or follow-up shot in the field.
- TriggerTech Trigger — Why it matters: You get a crisp, consistent pull right out of the box—no need to swap triggers for competition-grade feel. Adjustable to your preferred weight without gunsmithing.
- Fluted and Threaded 22-Inch Barrel — Why it matters: Fluting reduces weight and aids heat dissipation during long strings of fire; threading lets you mount a suppressor or brake for recoil management and muzzle rise control.
- Hinged Floorplate Magazine — Why it matters: Quick unloading without cycling rounds through the action, which is a huge time saver at the range or when clearing the rifle after a hunt.
Who It’s For
This rifle is built for the precision shooter who wants a traditional wood stock but won’t compromise on modern accuracy features. If you shoot PRS, NRL Hunter, or long-range steel matches, you’ll appreciate the 6.5mm Creedmoor’s ballistics and the Weatherby 307 action’s stiffness. It also fits the hunter who needs a reliable, accurate rifle for Western big game.
Pros & Cons
- Pro: Sub-MOA guarantee out of the box—verified by my own groups with 140-grain ELD-Match.
- Pro: TriggerTech trigger is a huge upgrade over factory triggers in this price range.
- Con: The walnut stock is beautiful but adds weight—at 7.2 lbs, it’s not a lightweight mountain rifle. If you’re humping miles, you might prefer a synthetic stock.
- Pro: Cerakote finish is durable and corrosion-resistant, ideal for wet-field use.

FAQ
What is the barrel twist rate on the Weatherby 307 Adventure SD in 6.5mm Creedmoor?
Per Weatherby specs, the 22-inch barrel has a 1:8 twist rate, optimized for heavy bullets like the 140-147 grain projectiles used in long-range competition.
Does the rifle come with a scope base or rings?
No, the receiver is drilled and tapped for standard scope mounts, but bases or rings are not included. You’ll need to purchase a rail or two-piece base and rings separately.
Is the stock fully adjustable for length of pull or cheek rest?
No, the walnut stock is fixed with a classic design. It has a standard length of pull and no adjustable cheek riser. For a more adjustable stock, look at the Bergara B-14 HMR.
Can I use this rifle for PRS competition?
Yes, the 6.5mm Creedmoor and TriggerTech trigger make it viable for PRS, though the 7.2 lb weight and wood stock might be a bit light for heavy barricade work. Many shooters run it in NRL Hunter.
