Long-range hunters and precision shooters increasingly demand rifles that balance accuracy, modularity, and reduced carry weight. The latest entry from Weatherby answers that need with a modern bolt action platform that blends traditional craftsmanship with an ultra-light chassis and folding stock for field use.

WEATHERBY MODEL 307 ALPINE MDT is the first new Weatherby bolt action centerfire in over 50 years and was designed and tested in Sheridan, WY. Built around a 2-lug, fully cylindrical action, the Alpine model was engineered to accept a wide range of aftermarket stocks, triggers, rails, mounts, and magazines.

Chassis and ergonomics

The Alpine utilizes MDT’s ultra-lightweight HNT26 carbon fiber chassis system to shave ounces without sacrificing rigidity. The folding buttstock reduces overall length by roughly 9 inches when collapsed, a practical feature for hunters who need compact transport. An adjustable cheek riser and M-LOK slots in the forearm make optic alignment and accessory mounting straightforward in the field.

Action and barrel features

Weatherby’s 2-lug action is fully cylindrical to promote consistent bedding and compatibility with aftermarket components. The Alpine’s fluted bolt and barrel lower rotating mass and aid heat dissipation, while the removable muzzle brake lets shooters choose reduced recoil or a cleaner muzzle profile for dense brush hunting.

Cartridge choice and applications

Chambered in .300 PRC with a 26-inch barrel and fed from a 3-round magazine, this build favors long-range, big-game work. The .300 PRC delivers superior retained energy and long-range trajectory compared with many other cartridges, making it well suited for mountain hunts and target work where terminal performance and wind-bucking capability matter.

At $2,925.99, the Alpine model positions itself as a purpose-built precision hunting rifle that keeps weight and transportability in mind. If you’re evaluating rigs for alpine hunts or tactical long-range use, its combination of Weatherby heritage and MDT’s carbon chassis is compelling. Shop this product

Why this model stands out
