Weatherby Model 307 RPM: Precision Bolt Action for Enthusiasts

Every once in a generation a rifle arrives that shifts how enthusiasts think about bolt-action versatility — marrying classic aesthetics with modern engineering. For shooters who value a platform that’s ready for both hunting fields and precision upgrades, careful attention to construction and component compatibility matters more than flash.

WEATHERBY MODEL 307 ADVENTURE SD (6.5 WBY RPM) is the first new Weatherby bolt action centerfire rifle in over 50 years and it’s built to be customized. The 2-lug, fully cylindrical receiver is designed to accept a wide variety of aftermarket parts and upgrades, including compatibility with many Remington 700 bottom metal options. The bolt employs an M16-style extractor for positive extraction and smooth cycling, paired with an adjustable TriggerTech fire control unit for a crisp, user-tuned trigger. Shop this product

Design and Chassis Details

The Adventure SD line blends old-school looks with modern performance: a classic Monte Carlo walnut stock with rosewood accents sits beneath a fluted 24-inch barrel for balanced handling and heat management. That fluting reduces weight and improves barrel cooling without sacrificing rigidity — a practical nod to accuracy-focused shooters who still appreciate traditional wood furniture. The 3-round magazine with a hinged floor plate preserves a classic silhouette while offering reliable reload and unloading options in the field.

Action and Trigger

The two-lug bolt and fully cylindrical receiver make the 307 a straightforward candidate for aftermarket enhancements. The adjustable TriggerTech fire control unit gives shooters predictable, tunable breaks suitable for hunting or precision applications. The M16-style extractor provides secure, positive extraction under varied conditions, which matters when reliability is non-negotiable.

Ballistics and Caliber Notes

Chambered in 6.5 Weatherby RPM, the 307 leverages a modern, high-performance cartridge that favors flat trajectory and efficient long-range performance from a 24-inch barrel. That combination makes the rifle an excellent choice for mid- to long-range hunting and precision target work where a balance of recoil management and terminal performance is desired. At a listed price of $1935.99, the package offers strong value for a factory rifle built with upgrade potential in mind. View product details and pricing
