The Weatherby 307 Alpine MDT Carbon is engineered for discerning shooters who demand robust performance in a lightweight, precision-focused platform. This rifle integrates Weatherby’s advanced 307 action with an MDT carbon fiber chassis, optimizing it for long-range engagements and rugged field conditions where weight mitigation is critical.
Key Features
Weatherby 307 Action
The core of this rifle is the Weatherby 307 action, machined from billet steel to exacting tolerances. It features an integral recoil lug for enhanced rigidity and consistent barrel alignment. The two-lug bolt operates with a smooth 90-degree throw, ensuring rapid cycling. A robust M-16 style extractor and plunger ejector provide reliable case management. The rifle incorporates an adjustable TriggerTech trigger, allowing precise user customization of pull weight to optimize shot breaking for critical accuracy.
MDT Carbon Chassis System
The integration of the MDT Carbon chassis system significantly contributes to the rifle’s reduced weight and superior ergonomics. Constructed from lightweight carbon fiber, this chassis provides exceptional rigidity and thermal stability, crucial for maintaining zero across varying environmental temperatures. An aluminum V-block bedding system ensures consistent action-to-chassis interface for repeatable precision. The chassis features an adjustable length of pull and comb height to facilitate optimal shooter fit. Its M-LOK forend allows for modular attachment of accessories, while the vertical grip enhances shooting posture for prone and bench positions. The system is designed to accept industry-standard AICS-pattern detachable box magazines.
6.5-300 Weatherby Magnum Chambering
Chambered in the potent 6.5-300 Weatherby Magnum, this rifle leverages a cartridge renowned for its high velocity and flat trajectory. This caliber is well-suited for extended-range applications, effectively mitigating bullet drop and wind deflection over significant distances, making it a formidable choice for competitive shooting and long-range hunting scenarios.
Barrel System
The rifle features a fluted stainless steel barrel, meticulously contoured to balance weight reduction with optimal rigidity for consistent harmonics. The barrel is threaded 5/8″-24 at the muzzle, allowing for the direct integration of a suppressor or a recoil-mitigating muzzle brake, further enhancing shot control and reducing felt recoil.
