Key Features

• Carbon-Fiber Barrel — Why it matters: Sheds over a pound compared to a steel barrel of the same length, so you can carry more gear or hike farther without fatigue.
• Fluted Bolt Body — Why it matters: Reduces friction and clears debris from the action, giving you smoother cycling in dusty or wet alpine conditions.
• Aluminum Bedding Block — Why it matters: Locks the barreled action into a rigid foundation, which keeps your point of impact consistent even after a hard day in the field.
• Two-Position Safety — Why it matters: Lets you unload the rifle with the safety engaged, so you can handle it around camp or in the truck without worry.
• Factory 3-Pound Trigger — Why it matters: A crisp, adjustable trigger helps you break shots cleanly at distance, especially when you’re breathing hard after a climb.

Who It’s For

This rifle is for the backcountry hunter who needs to pack light but won’t compromise on precision. It’s also a solid choice for the new shooter who wants a do-it-all rifle that can handle deer, elk, and target work without a ton of recoil. The 6.5 Creedmoor cartridge is easy to shoot well, and the light weight makes it a joy to carry all day.

Pros & Cons

• Pros: Sub-6-pound weight, sub-MOA guarantee, smooth action, Cerakote finish resists rust, takes AICS magazines.
• Cons: The carbon barrel can heat up faster than a heavy steel barrel during rapid fire — not a problem for hunting, but something to note if you plan to shoot groups at the range back-to-back.

What is the barrel twist rate on the Weatherby 307 Alpine ST in 6.5 Creedmoor?

The barrel has a 1:8 twist rate, which stabilizes bullets from 120 to 147 grains very well — perfect for factory match loads and heavy hunting bullets.

Does this rifle come with a scope base or rings?

It comes with a factory-installed Picatinny rail (20 MOA), so you can mount your own rings and scope right out of the box. No base needed.

What magazines does the 307 Alpine ST accept?

It uses AICS-pattern magazines, which are widely available from brands like Magpul and Accurate-Mag. One 5-round magazine is included.

Is the stock adjustable for length of pull or cheek height?

The stock has a fixed length of pull at 13.5 inches and a raised cheekpiece. It’s not adjustable, but the comb height works well with most scopes using medium rings.

Over 60% of hunters in a 2025 survey said weight was their top priority for a mountain rifle — this Weatherby delivers on that front without giving up accuracy. Last updated: April 2026
