For shooters who demand a balance of accuracy, adaptability, and real-world functionality, a modern bolt-action that can serve as both a hunting rifle and a precision-range tool is essential. This rifle was designed with modularity and practical performance in mind, giving shooters options for optics, stocks, and muzzle devices without compromising lockup or ergonomics.

WEATHERBY MODEL 307 RANGE XP is the first new Weatherby bolt action centerfire rifle introduced in over 50 years. Designed and tested in Sheridan, WY, the Model 307 adopts a 2-lug, fully cylindrical design purpose-built to accept the wide offerings of stocks, triggers, rails, mounts, and magazines on the market. The Range XP base model is chambered in .243 Winchester, features a 22-inch fluted barrel with a removable muzzle brake, a semi-skeletonized bolt handle, an adjustable cheek riser, and ships with one 5-round Magpul AICS magazine in a green stock with black accents.

Design and chassis compatibility

The 2-lug, fully cylindrical receiver of the WEATHERBY MODEL 307 RANGE XP maximizes bedding consistency and makes the action adaptable to a wide range of aftermarket chassis and stocks. That forward-thinking geometry simplifies mounting rails and optic bases while maintaining the classic bolt-action feel. The semi-skeletonized bolt handle reduces weight and aids rapid cycling without sacrificing durability.

Barrel, muzzle options, and caliber choice

The 22-inch fluted barrel delivers a good balance of maneuverability and ballistic performance for the .243 Winchester chambering. .243 Winchester remains a versatile caliber for medium game hunting and precision varmint work—offering flat trajectories, manageable recoil, and a broad selection of factory and match-grade ammunition. The removable muzzle brake allows shooters to switch to other aftermarket muzzle devices for recoil tuning or suppressor compatibility. View product details and pricing
