Anyone running a Weatherby 307 Alpine CT?

Any interference with the bolt knob and the throw lever when scope is maxed out?

The scope is maxed in that pic but the knob does not hit it. However, Trijicon power rings are notoriously large so after that pic, I ground a sweep into the bolt to make sure it would always clear. Didn’t cerakote after but hit ii with gun blue and then painted matte black.

WEATHERBY 307 ALPINE CT 7MMPRC 24MB

Add to cart for $1767. This is where I got mine… no tax, no credit card fee, low shipping. They can take a few days to ship through their distributor but patience pays

I was in Scheels Saturday afternoon looking at them when I saw your post. I pulled that up, added one to cart to get my total and Scheels priced matched it. So I appreciate you posting the info! I was fully prepared to order if they didn't want to price match.

Thanks for the review I’m looking at this rifle in 7 PRC although recently been considering going 280AI.

thanks @Nicaburns for all your helpful advice. I've been researching the perfect mountain rifle in preparation for an elk hunt, and you tipped the scales to the Alpine CT for me. Ordered it a couple weeks ago and picked it up last weekend in 280 AI.

These were the first 4 shots after bore sighting with 140 grain nosler BT (found them at a significant discount so bought a few boxes for break-in). Needless to say, I was quite pleased that after two adjustments I had the holes touching. I'll be ordering a variety of ammo to test at my next range session, but for $40 a box I might keep using these nosler BTs for target shooting + whitetails in Michigan and then adjust to a sturdier, heavier bullet for the elk hunt

One bummer was that the threads for the muzzle break were a little messed up from the factory. My gunsmith happens to be a weatherby dealer so it's a free warranty repair, but meant I was shooting unsuppressed / without the brake this time. Just disappointing and not something you'd expect out of a gun in this price range. Everything else on the gun was perfect and it just felt great in general

I shot a few more groups and all were well under 1 MOA. I'll report back after I get the brake on there and have a few more rounds down the barrel, but so far I'm really happy

Mine had cerakote residue on the male and female muzzle/brake threads too… I called Weatherby and they gave me the go ahead to just hit them with a bronze brush and it went right on

I'm waiting on one as well (wa waiting period), was intrigued by the features already, then came across one at the local gun shop for a good price so i grabbed it because it felt great. Its in 300prc 1:10, kinda would have thought it would have been a little faster twist but ? Going to try the g2 vx6 on it. Ill report back......

Mine likes the Norma 160gr 7mm PRC load the best. Definitely not the fastest load but quite accurate. Fastest has been the 160gr Barnes Lrx load with a high of 3048fps but it is shooting 1.5moa at this point.

Just picked mine up last week. First 3 shot group out of it and showing promise. Gonna try some other ammo the next couple weeks.

Any more updates on these rifles? The tikka I wanted to get is now back ordered. This rifle feels really nice in hand.

Mine is pushing 180 Berger Hybrids at 2950 over H1000 consistently holding ~1/2moa. This was in 12mph wind at 200yds.

There is a model 307 Facebook group. Has quite a few people in it that seem to really like them.

The family firearms link doesn't work, does anyone know what happened. I've been wanting an alpine ct in 6.5 prc.

They appear to have shut down their site. Get the UPC of the model you want, go to https://gun.deals/ and search that UPC then select your retailer

Is that the same as gun broker?

I couldn’t get the 168LRX to shoot out of my CT no matter what I did. I went through an entire box of them doing load development and couldn’t get tighter than 3/4-1” in that rifle. For that matter, I couldn’t get the 190’s to shoot out of my Tikka either.
