The modern tactical shooter needs a platform that balances modularity, repeatable accuracy, and field-ready ergonomics. The Weatherby Model 307 Range XP is that platform for operators who want precision in a bolt-action rifle tailored for multiple roles — from long-range target work to big-game field use.

Weatherby Model 307 Range XP

Design and build: a modern Weatherby bolt action

Built in Sheridan, WY, the Model 307 marks Weatherby’s first new bolt action centerfire rifle in more than five decades. Its 2-lug fully cylindrical action was engineered to accept the broad ecosystem of aftermarket stocks, triggers, rails and magazines common to tactical shooters. The semi-skeletonized bolt handle improves bolt manipulation speed while keeping weight down, and the adjustable cheek riser allows consistent sight alignment for shooters of varying body types.

Barrel, muzzle options, and caliber specifics

The Range XP features a 24-inch fluted barrel chambered in .280 Ackley Improved. That chambering offers enhanced ballistic performance over standard .280 Remington — flatter trajectory and higher retained energy at extended ranges — making it a strong choice for precision shooting and long-range hunting alike. The included removable muzzle brake provides recoil mitigation out of the box and allows easy swap to a different muzzle device to suit suppressor mounts or personal preference.

Practical field and range considerations

At a retail price of $1260.99, the Range XP is positioned as a versatile entry into Weatherby’s modern bolt platform. The 2-lug action and AICS-compatible magazine make it straightforward to integrate chassis systems and aftermarket optics mounts. The fluted barrel helps shed weight and dissipate heat during extended strings at the range, while the removable brake and adjustable cheek piece let shooters tailor recoil and ergonomics without permanent gunsmithing.

Who should consider the Model 307 Range XP?

The .280 Ackley Improved and 24″ barrel will appeal to shooters focused on extended-range accuracy and hunting versatility. The package includes essential hardware like the Magpul AICS magazine so you can head to the range or stand without delay.
