My hunting buddy just bought one in 300 win.mag. The forearm on the stock is super flimsy anyone else noticed this that has one.

Yes. It's in another 307 thread. I posted about handling them at Scheels and being blown away. How Adam and the QC guys at Weatherby signed off on those being the guns for the premier of a new generation of rifle for Weatherby is nothing short.of mind-blowing.

I looked one and it is by far the flimsiest stock out there. The good news is that rifle is a 700 clone so aftermarket stocks are everywhere. They’re pretty much selling a barreled action.

I'm old school and prefer fancy walnut stocks, but I do have Weatherby's Vanguard Griptonite stocks on 4 of my rifles. IMO the 307 rifle is the ugliest product in the Weatherby line!

Spoke to my buddy today he is totally disgusted with the stock, said he is now looking for a good chassis to mount the action and barrel in. You would think Weatherby would have caught this in the developmental phases of the gun.

It's about like 90% of the other injection molded plastic stocks out there. Either get a different stock for it or rockite the forend

I think you are wrong there, some of the other low end stocks are a bit flimsy but I never seen one flex as much as this one, In my opinion this was a direct result in a attempt to cut weight that did not turn out to well and was left slide through perhaps thinking no one would notice you would think with a name such as Weatherby and the reputation that follows the brand the development would of caught this and fixed it.

It's pretty dang flexible and you'd hope someone introducing a rifle in that class would know better but it's among company.. Christensen ridgeline, xbolt composite sporter stocks for example are also noodles.
