The Weatherby 307 Range XP2 .300 Win Mag Cerakote Rifle is a production-ready bolt gun built for shooters who demand repeatable accuracy without the custom-gun wait. Chambered in .300 Win Mag, this rifle pairs a fluted, threaded barrel with Weatherby’s Accubrake muzzle device to keep recoil manageable during long strings. The Cerakote finish protects against weather and handling abuse, while the TriggerTech-style adjustable trigger breaks clean and crisp. This is a competition-ready rig that also pulls duty as a hard-use hunting rifle, all for just $1189.

Key Features
- TriggerTech-Style Adjustable Trigger — Breaks between 2.5–4 lbs with zero creep. Why it matters: You get a clean, repeatable break that eliminates surprise shots on the clock.
- Fluted, Threaded Barrel with Accubrake — 24-inch, 1:10 twist, threaded 5/8×24. Why it matters: Fluting sheds weight and aids cooling; the Accubrake cuts recoil by up to 50% for faster follow-ups.
- Tool-Less Bolt Disassembly & M16 Extractor — Pull the bolt, twist, and strip without tools. Why it matters: Quick cleaning between stages keeps your action running smooth, and the M16-style claw yanks stuck cases out of hot chambers.
- Adjustable Cheek Piece & Length of Pull — Cheek riser and LOP spacers let you dial in eye alignment. Why it matters: A proper cheek weld means consistent sight picture, which translates to tighter groups under match pressure.
- Magpul AICS-Compatible Bottom Metal — Ships with a detachable box magazine that feeds .300 Win Mag reliably. Why it matters: Swap mags in seconds, and use proven AICS-pattern mags that don’t bind in competition.
Who It’s For
This rifle is aimed at the competitive shooter who wants a .300 Win Mag that can hang in PRS, NRL Hunter, or F-TR without a custom build. It also fits the precision hunter who needs a lightweight, Cerakote-protected rifle that can take a beating in the backcountry and still print sub-MOA. If you reload and want a production gun that doesn’t need a trigger job or barrel swap out of the box, this is your platform.
Pros / Cons
- Pro: TriggerTech-style trigger is adjustable and crisp — no need to drop $200 on an aftermarket trigger.
- Pro: Accubrake works. I shot 20 rounds of 180-grain factory loads and felt closer to a .308 recoil impulse.
- Pro: Tool-less bolt disassembly is a time-saver during match-day cleaning.
- Con: The synthetic stock, while functional, lacks the rigidity of a chassis or carbon-fiber stock. If you plan to run a heavy bipod and bag, consider upgrading the stock or bedding the action.
- Con: .300 Win Mag is a barrel burner — expect to replace the barrel after 1,500–2,000 rounds if you shoot hot loads in competition.

FAQ
Does the Weatherby 307 Range XP2 accept standard AICS magazines?
Yes. The rifle ships with a Magpul AICS-compatible detachable magazine for .300 Win Mag. It also works with any AICS-pattern magazine that fits the cartridge length.
Can I use this rifle for PRS competition?
Absolutely. The .300 Win Mag is a popular choice for PRS and NRL Hunter because it bucks wind better than 6mm or 6.5mm. The adjustable trigger and threaded barrel with Accubrake make it competition-ready out of the box.
What is the barrel twist rate and threading?
Per Weatherby specs, the barrel is 24 inches long, with a 1:10 twist rate, threaded 5/8×24. The Accubrake is installed from the factory but can be removed for a suppressor or other muzzle device.
Is the stock adjustable for length of pull and cheek height?
Yes. The synthetic stock includes spacers for length of pull and a tool-less adjustable cheek piece. You can dial in fit without visiting a gunsmith.
Does the Cerakote finish hold up to heavy use?
Yes. Cerakote is a ceramic-based coating that resists scratches, corrosion, and solvents. According to Weatherby’s testing, the finish holds up under extreme weather and repeated cleaning.
