The Weatherby Model 307: A Customizable 700® Footprint Rifle Platform
Вставка
- Опубліковано 1 сер 2024
- Today marks a historical event in Weatherby’s 78-year history, for the first time in over 50 years Weatherby will introduce a new centerfire action rifle line, the Model 307. Meant to complement the historic Mark V and Vanguard lineups, the Model 307 is a 2-Lug, fully cylindrical action compatible with a host of aftermarket accessories. It features a fluted bolt with a tool-less disassembly, TriggerTech trigger, and a detachable Magpul magazine to name a few. The goal of the 307 was to design an action that could accommodate the vast offerings of stocks, triggers, rails, mounts, and magazines in today’s marketplace. We are proud to announce all rifles with Model 307 actions will be built in our Sheridan, WY headquarters.

The Weatherby Mark V in 300 Weatherby Magnum, will always be #1 to me.
307 is the area code in Wyoming, the whole state has one area code, 307. Pretty cool guys.
Should be a 907.
@@New2Me170B maybe tha next one, good idea.
307…Wyoming number
3rd action from Weatherby
700 footprint
I like it!
Nailed it!
Straight up looks identical to a bergera b14. I'll still buy one in a heavy sporter if it available though
This is great news and has the potential to really see Weatherby leading the pack!
307, the Wyoming area code...slick name!
Yea I’m gonna save up a few months and get a left handed one in 257 Weatherby
Glad you guys are taking the leap. You will definitely get a whole new group of people looking at you now.
Thank you!
Adam: Your Grandfather must be very proud of you!!!! Nice work on the 307
I really hadn't looked at Weatherby before but this definitely interests me. Might get the action to build a nice precision rifle around it
@@jasonmorris159 I've always had interest, but never really wanted to get a Weatherby - these are pretty cool and fit what I like... who knows, one day I might have one.
So you made a Remington 700 clone. Not sure what is so special or innovative about making something that everyone makes already
I’m so exited for the rifle! I really hope it gains lots of popularity! I love weatherbys and I love they’re made here in the U.S.A.! At around $1100, it’s a steal!
I hope to get one! I was pricing a base model Tikka T3X 243, but it needs threaded, needs cerakote, dang sure needs a new chassis, and by the time you put that into it, it’s more expensive than this gun, and you still get more with this one! Lots of value here, it looks like!
@@lauraburandt2655 I agree 100%. I have quite a few tikkas and Sakos, and for the money, if left as is, they’re a great rifle for the money. At least the base models. I was drawn to them because of how easy they are to barrel swap, but it doesn’t end there! Lol. By the time you customize your $700-$800 Tikka, you could easily spend another $2k on top of the original purchase price. So far, the only negative I’ve heard about this weatherby, is they have feeding problems with their magazines in the 7mm prc. From what I’ve read, it sounds like they’ve addressed the issue by changing magazines. I’ve heard nothing but good things as far as accuracy and handling. If you decide to purchase one, be sure to give an update and your thoughts on the rifle! Happy shooting!
Thank you for voicing a thought! They are new enough that I haven’t heard a lot of accounts from actual people reviewing them. I think it’s going to be my next one! Hope you love yours! Happy shooting!
I loved my Vanguard 270 back in the nineties. They were made by Howa in Japan. It was a beautiful tight shooting rifle. I had some medical problems and had to go ultra light. I wish it had a 3 position safety
I’ve been a bolt action rifle guy since 1980 and I’m glad to see you doing this
I think you hit it out of the park on this one. I had written you off as some old man's brand... Not any more. Nice job.
Oh wow!!!!! I’m pretty stoked!
Beauty! I wish it had integral recoil lug for easier barrel swap, and a quick barrel switch system
As a Weatherby who shoots PRS competitively, I always get asked if I shoot a Weatherby and always have to reply “they don’t make one setup for PRS”. Now that has changed! Way to embrace the modern precision bolt action market!
Good work Weatherby! This is a great idea and will get lots of folks looking your way
Well I'll be...shocked. If you can keep these priced reasonably you will have knocked it outta the park
The action is $750, the more hunting style rifle they showed is $1200 and their prs style rifle is $3000
@@TantheMan415 Seems reasonable to me.
@@noahhorinek me too. Probably not to my wife though lol.
Right about what the Mk V Hunter costs for the hunting model of the 307
If it were affordable, I think everyone would get one. However, at these prices I'd prefer many other rifles.
Roy is a legend.
Cool! Great work!
Great concept, everything I have been looking for, just bummed about the 90 degree bolt throw! 70 or 60 is hard to go back from...
Weatherby if you're seeing these comments, selling just actions is going to be huge too. Not saying you need to copy Aero Precision, but you have the chance to really corner the entry market with selling an action at a price that many are comfortable with, and this will allow more companies to offer accessories and components to build around you. Many companies in this industry fail because they are too proprietary in which no other company offers barrels, bolts, accessories and things like that. You have the opportunity to really change the direction of your company in the market.

This is a smart decision, the best bolt gun setups for customizability are 700 footprint actions, 700 triggers, and savage barrel shanks/barrel nuts, good decsions to go that route
I was excited when I saw this announced, when I picked one up and saw the 1200 dollar price i was even more excited, it's an absolute steal at the price with the features.
Heck ya! Never like the look and feel of the older guns. Definitely love this idea.
Action seems just like the tuebor I used to build a custom. They build actions for a lot of people-wouldn’t be surprised if they’re making these. I guess Weatherby is selling Remington 700 clones now.
Model 700 footprint and a 6.5 wby rpm sounds like a dream
Very cool to see this new rifle from Weatherby! And the "307" is certainly a fitting nod to the great state of Wyoming. 👊🏼 Can't wait to try one out!
That is awesome to see. I know with your attention to detail and passion for the shooting sports and hunting this will be an awesome addition to the lineup and add more customization and creativity.
Thanks Forrest!
Id like to see some cool fast twist options on a cool 25 on a shorter 284 case
Nice to see some innovation. But you should have made it 3 lug
I’m excited to try one!!! So cool to see this release
Looks good! One thing I can’t tell from the pictures on your site, is there a step on the bolt shroud (like the 110 or the 700) to turn the gas 90 degrees in the event of a case failure? Had that happen, here to tell about it….
Just as long it comes in 30/06 Springfield I'll be happy
Man I'm stoked about this action. Really glad they're brining a high-quality rem 700 footprint action to the market. All with the Weatherby name and production behind it. Oh, and it's not built in Japan ....... Merica' baby
This shows an amazing amount of discernment. This is exactly what people want. Thanks for reading the room.
Still waiting for mine to show up, ordered it the first day I could
While I prefer Roy Weatherby Sr.' taste in rifles, I can see what you did here. It's a fresh take, plenty options, huge value at an affordable entry price. Way to go Weatherby!! I'm still waiting for Adam Weatherby to announce his book by the way.... "Weatherby - The Legacy continues!"
Well… from Wyoming, been wanting a Wyoming Weatherby for awhile and now with the area code in there too… I’m going to have to get one.
Congratulations, looking forward to seeing this new rifle.
Unbelievable, you guys are coming to market with just the actions too!!! Great move! With remington 700 triggers and chasis and savage pattren rails these guns are ready to go day one. I cant wait to see what they can do when some custom builders get them done up with some Krieger barrels
Very impressive, and I will be looking hard at what you have to offer... I'm very interested in the 6.5 RPM I've heard nothing but really good feed back on it.
One of our guides has one and LOVES it. You can't afford to shoot it due to the ammo cost but, Love's it as his personal hunting rifle.
Glad to see you selected a good stable of both original Weatherby and classic cartridges for the rifle. That will increase the interest for sure (including mine). Don’t get me wrong, love my 257 and 300 Bees but nice to have more options that aren’t as exotic (pricy) to shoot. Already have a Mark V in 7mm Remington Mag and loved it.
I'd love to get a weatherby
This is the first time I’ve ever given serious thought to buying one of your products. Well done.
This made my day and Summer. I hope you will have one in 22-250! I love the price point as well.
Man, a fast twist .22-250 would be so sick! They have improved twist rates for the .243 and .240 Wby Mag options, at 1:7.5" twist, which is great.
I think this is a great move. Im glad to see you invest in a place like Sheridan. I hope the rifle lives up to its namesake.
Thank you
Excellent news Weatherby! The new 307 will likely lead to a dream come true for me, to hunt with a Weatherby of my own.
These look amazing and we’ll priced. Is there any talk of providing a left hand version?
50 years since the last action release, then build off another 50 year old action blueprint, nice
I would like to see your new rifles come with a more aggressive rate of twist in the rifling on all the calibers offered.
I agree…all of these ammunition manufacturers are pushing longer/higher BC bullets. Would be nice to see slightly faster twists to handle them more accurately.
It seems everything above the 6mm is normal (6.5s with 1:8, .280 AI with 1:9, .30s with 1:10) but their .243 Win and .240 Wby Mag option are both 1:7.5" twist, which means they can use the 115gr bullets. The idea of that really interests me! A fast twist .243 or .240 wby would be awesome for range work as well as matches.
Looks like a good design idea. Please make it left handed and ship it up North to BC!
By the time it gets through customs turdrow will have it on the banned list anyway
Okay. That's cool.
Only thing I like about it is my home area code. Never been a rem 700 fan.
Great show and great guns 💪💪💪👏👏👏👏😀
Wow, I have hunted with weatherby rounds for years but has recently gotten away due to the lack of aftermarket stuff. I am very very excited for this. I can’t wait to get one.
Is there a flush mount magazine or a BDL style with hinged floor plate? The only models they show are AICS mags hanging lower than the trigger guard or a chassis. Otherwise looks like you're building from an action.
Awesome. If I wasn't already putting together an ARC action in an MDT HNT26 I would have seriously considered the 307 Alpine. That'll be a killer modern hunting rifle.
I hope you can offer one in 25-06!
I’m currently looking to add a Mark V to my collection and I’ll have to keep and eye out for this new rifle when it hits the shelves. Good job guys and girls of Weatherby, keep it coming!
Id still prefer the mkV. Rem 700 clones are a dime a dozen. Not bad by any means but theres nothing special about them.
@@John_Redcorn_the amount of after market upgrades is worth it alone. MkV has very limited options.
Great work and great foresight on the parts interchange. In today's marketplace too many companies want to make proprietary products that they think are going to capture all the market share. Consumers want a reliable well built base to start with that they can tweak and mix parts with to find what they want or perceive as an advantage. Weatherby looks to have given us a great platform to build off of and I bet they sell a boat load of them. Best wishes on your new venture.
Interested in seeing where this goes...maybe 223? Your video is 556.
It's interesting to see that there are companies trying to build a premium action using 6-lug designs on a Rem700 footprint, and Weatherby who already has a superb 6/9lug design going backward. Isn't it the very reason Roy Weatherby built the Mark V action because he wasn't satisfied with the Rem700 type action? I would personally consider a Mark V rifle built to the modern PRS specs. I already own a Vanguard and a Bergara, there's just no point of getting the 307.
Looking forward to getting my hands on one of these. Can someone to tell the violinist to keep it down....
Lefties next please!!
I think i will stick with my sako & brno centerfire rifles.
Will it take shouldered prefit barrels? I've got a Stiller, I'd get rid of the Stiller before my Tikka's.
I think this is great, looking forward to seeing reviews and looking one over.
Will you be making the actions available separately?
The actions themselves are already available on our website!
Prolly first gun model number taken from an area code.
could you imagine if Weatherby offered a fully customizable rifle building option.... barrel length/contour, action length, stock, etc... these 26+ inch barres are ridiculous.
So it's a bergara copycat
I'd prefer a Winchester model 70 clone
A step in the right direction for sure, but if they really want to get more customers from other brands they need to come out with more calibers like 6mm creed and 6.5prc. I see they have 7prc as an option which is good, but they need to stop pushing their proprietary ammo which is never available. I think if they swallowed their pride, released the 307 in more calibers and came out with a few different colors for the stock, they would seriously take a large section of the market, including me, with the $1200 XP, especially for that price and what you’re getting.
I'd like to see a skeletonized version
To Weatherby credit they did price them just right. I would have loved to see the 7PRC in a 24 or 26" barrel just to see what velocities could be had. Either way these should sell like hotcakes.
I really hope that this action will support shouldered pre-fit barrels!
That'd be cool. Adam did mention Savage.
Release new rifles but can’t fill 1.5year+ orders?
Would love to see some left handed options
In time we do plan to offer a lefty.
@@weatherby Left handed range XP in 280ai will save me building one on a Sako action
One of the things I like about how you're introducing this rifle is the caliber selection. They're calibers people actually want. Not cramming 5 options down our throats.
The comment above this someone asked why there's no .338 RPM offering - they replied saying more to come. Honestly, so cool to see genuinely good offerings.
From .243 and .240 Wby to .300 PRC and .300 Wby, those are some great options, especially when the .243 and .240 have fast 1:7.5" twist rates, which makes them far more interesting. I'd love to see a fast .22, like .22-250 with fast twist available.
And a long action lapua skeletonized hunting focused action
Hope they keep the vanguard
Don't worry, the Vanguard line isn't going anywhere!
@@weatherby good. I really appreciate those rifles . Bought a weatherby vanguard weatherguard bronze last year and I absolutely love it. Plan on buying a few in diff calibers.
@@weatherby wow! Cool
It’s just a more expensive howa 1500. You can buy them without the Weatherby branding.
@@isaacmcadams9859 a howa1500 with a stock that isnt complete junk.
Love it glad to see this step taken to be innovated! Why no 338RPM cartridge in the line up?
More cartridge offerings will be coming soon.
@@weatherby More? That's awesome! There is already quite a selection of cool cartridges, can't wait to see what else you guys will offer - that's something Weatherby always does well... nearly too many options haha!
What would be nice is if your proprietary ammunition was one half the price so more shooters could enjoy shooting your firearms.
Since I have both a Mark V (6.5-300 Wby) and a Vanguard (30-06) today I guess I have to complete the setup with a 307 at some point. Looking at the MDT XRS chassie and perhaps a 300 Wby action? :)
Lets see if this isn't built in the Howa facility like the weatherby vanguards are, it could help knock the cost down mybe if it was
All of the Model 307s are built right here in Sheridan, WY and parts sourced from North American partners
Carbon fiber barrel on any 307 ? Springfield armory has a red line that's awesome. I have one and hope to see one in 7mm-08. Not made in USA but I'll have another if they make more cal. Choice's.
Stop spying.... ;)
Not at all, happy to see model 700 clones coming to market since Remington trashed their rifles.
Can’t wait to see it in stores. Like to handle one
Grandpa Roy would throw up in his mouth...
How's the bolt handle in person? It does not look very appealing to me in pictures
leaving calif 1st smart move
congrats!
yaaaaay. another 700 clone..... but if the bolt locks shut I'd buy it.
Stainless version?
Lefties available ?
Well, I'd own a vanguard if you could get howa to make them left handed.
Will the 307 be made lefty?
They answered that to another comment that yes they plan to
Will this Rifle be released in Australia, I'm looking to buy a Weatherby as my first hunting rifle, I have been researching a lot about you guys and have fallen in love with the Weatherby brand, I have watched so many reviews on the Vanguard and will buy one soon, keep up the good work
Take the leap. They’re awesome bang for your buck.
Get an s2 if possible, the two stage trigger is far better than the original vanguard. I own both and they are super accurate. Or get a howa same barrel and action
yes, it may take a little time but our Australian distributor will be bringing some in.
Great Rifle so far. Only have one issue with it....The coating is not durable at all and started to flake first day.
Hmm maybe time to look at Weatherby for a target rifle as opposed to only shotguns.
NEED the 243 or 6 Creed in 8 twist to support the bullets like 108 and 109 eldm, 115 dtac, Berger's etc. Need that twist update on a few of the cartridge offerings I feel.
Wow! Didn't want to click on this. Thought it was a shot gun... This is very cool! Very surprising. Good for Weatherby- rolling with the times. So many questions. Long action? Short action? 7 PRC availible? 7RPM??? Dropping Vangaurd/Howa actions?
Vanguard isn't going anywhere and if you check out our website you will find the answers to your above questions!
Woo hoo!!!! Make it in a 224 and I’ll buy 2!!
Kauger Arms has a Rem700 footprint action for 338LM/416 Rigby rim diameter cartridges and I wish this action could’ve supported the 378 based cartridges
Lefty model coming??
