Key Features
- 18-inch fluted barrel — keeps the rifle compact and maneuverable in tight brush, while the fluting sheds heat fast for consistent shots on follow-ups.
- Carbon-fiber stock — trims ounces off the overall weight, so you can hike ridges all day without your shoulder aching.
- Two-position safety — lets you lock the bolt or leave it free to cycle while the trigger stays safe, giving you more control in the field.
- Adjustable trigger — lets you dial pull weight from 2.5 to 4 lbs, so you can set it light for long-range precision or heavier for cold-weather gloves.
- Detachable box magazine — speeds up reloads and makes unloading simple when crossing fences or loading into vehicles.
Who It's For
This rifle is for the hunter who wants one gun for both backpack hunts and bench shooting. It suits recreational shooters who like ringing steel at 600 yards, and first-time buyers ready to invest in a premium bolt gun that won't need upgrades. If you hike miles to shoot coyotes, pronghorn, or paper, this is your build.
Pros & Cons
- Pros: Lightweight (5.8 lbs), accurate 22 Creedmoor chambering, smooth bolt lift, adjustable trigger, corrosion-resistant finish.
- Cons: The 18-inch barrel loses a bit of velocity compared to longer barrels — you'll trade 50-75 fps for portability.

FAQ
What is the twist rate on the 22 Creedmoor barrel?
Per Weatherby specs, the 307 Alpine CT uses a 1:7.5 twist rate, which stabilizes 55-90 grain bullets perfectly for long-range accuracy.
Can I mount a suppressor on the 18-inch barrel?
Yes, the barrel is threaded 5/8×24, and the carbon-fiber stock is slim enough to clear most suppressors without rubbing.
Is the trigger adjustable without tools?
No, you'll need a small Allen wrench to adjust pull weight, but the process takes under two minutes once you read the manual.
Does this rifle come with a scope base?
It includes a Picatinny rail from the factory, so you can mount most rings or one-piece bases right away.
