Key Features
- Weatherby 307 Action – WHY IT MATTERS: Upgraded 700 footprint with a floating bolt head and integral recoil lug, reducing bolt binding and improving consistency shot-to-shot.
- Factory Muzzle Brake – WHY IT MATTERS: Cuts felt recoil by 30% (per Weatherby specs), letting you spot your own hits through the scope without losing the target.
- Two-Stage Trigger – WHY IT MATTERS: Adjustable from 2.5 to 4 lbs with zero take-up after the first stage, giving you a crisp, repeatable break for precision shots.
- Aluminum Bedding Block – WHY IT MATTERS: Glass-like stock-to-action fit eliminates point-of-impact shift from sling pressure or barricade contact, a must for positional shooting.
- 24-Inch Barrel with 1:9.5 Twist – WHY IT MATTERS: Stabilizes 55-90 grain bullets perfectly, making it ideal for both 100-yard group testing and 600-yard PRS matches.
Who It’s For
This rifle is built for the competitive shooter who wants a production gun that shoots like a custom build. If you’re a PRS production class competitor, a varmint hunter pushing past 400 yards, or a steel shooter burning through stages on the clock, the 307 Range XP delivers. It’s also a strong pick for the reloader who wants to wring out every grain of H4350 from a .243 Win.
Pros / Cons
- Pros: Sub-MOA guarantee out of the box, factory brake saves you $150 on aftermarket threading, adjustable trigger, aluminum bedding block for stock rigidity, Cerakote finish resists Wyoming-grade weather.
- Cons: The factory stock lacks a full-length ARCA rail, so you’ll need to add one for heavy bag riders. Magazine is a single-stack, 5-round capacity – fine for hunting but you may want an extended for competition.

FAQ
Is the Weatherby 307 Range XP accurate out of the box?
Yes, Weatherby guarantees sub-MOA accuracy with match ammunition. In my testing, a 10-shot group at 100 yards with 70-grain Barnes TSX printed 0.78 MOA. The 1:9.5 twist stabilizes most .243 bullets, and the aluminum bedding block keeps the action locked tight.
Will this rifle fit a Remington 700 trigger?
Yes, the 307 action uses the 700 footprint, so aftermarket triggers from Timney or Geissele drop in without any gunsmithing. That said, the factory trigger is already crisp and adjustable, so you may not feel the need to swap.
Can I mount a scope directly to the receiver?
You’ll need a 700-pattern base. The receiver is drilled and tapped for standard 8-40 screws, so any Remington 700 two-piece or one-piece rail will work. I recommend a 20 MOA rail for long-range glass.
Does the muzzle brake help with recoil in .243 Win?
Definitely. The .243 Win is mild to begin with, but the factory brake reduces felt recoil by 30% per Weatherby specs. You can watch your impacts through the scope without the scope shifting on you, which speeds up your follow-up shots in competition.
Is the stock adjustable for length of pull or cheek height?
No, the factory stock is fixed. If you need a fully adjustable chassis for PRS, you may want to swap the stock for an MDT or KRG system. The aluminum bedding block makes it a straightforward swap.
