I know I am not the only one: Weatherby 307

I got one also, I give them credit, they are always competing. Just like Roy did, you can't set stagnant, do nothing and expect to succeed, you have to meet or beat what is saleing. I like the cost of the action and mag box length. Good for them.

The 26.4oz short and 28.5oz long action seems like a good place to be at the price tag

I am interested in either a 300 PRC or 300 WM and adding a good side port brake.
Looks good to me!

I agree, I wonder who is producing the action?

If I had to guess I bet Mack Brothers are making the actions for them

Thanks for posting!
If you added a WTO switch lug to the alpine it would all pack up into a side pocket on a back pack.
Pretty cool.

Heh. Weatherby making guns on Remington (clone) actions. Interesting... I can't think of another situation where an OEM gun company used a clone of another company's action? Has it?

The 3.95" LA is impressive and perfect for heavier monos!

I like the faster twist rate for 243 win and 240 WBY. It would also be nice to have a faster twist rate in 257 WBY for heavier bullets.

I'd order an action for 750. Never know till ya try

1-7.5 twist is pretty fast for a factory 243 and 240.

Yeah but 1:10 for .270, 06, 300WM.

Not very many factory loaded bullets for those that need a faster twist. Factory Rifle companies are not going to cater to a very small group of the population that like to shoot heavy monos in 30 cals. And there is no factory ammo I am aware of in 270 that has a bullet that needs a faster twist, there again only a very small part of the population shooting the EOL or heavy monos.

If they are, it's a different bolt and recoil lug setup than the
Evo II.

Yeah I noticed that. The Weatherby shop in Sheridan, WY is setup to make the whole thing. Maybe they are making them in house.

I hope they are…… good for them!
