Overview
The Weatherby 307 Alpine MDT Carbon 6.5 Weatherby RPM represents a synergy of lightweight design and precision long-range capability. Engineered for discerning shooters who require a robust, accurate platform that mitigates carried weight without compromising performance, this rifle integrates Weatherby’s 307 action with an advanced MDT Carbon chassis system. The 6.5 Weatherby RPM cartridge further optimizes this package for high-velocity, flat-trajectory ballistics.
Key Features
Weatherby 307 Action
The core of this rifle is the Weatherby 307 bolt action, designed for exceptional rigidity and consistent lockup. Manufactured to stringent tolerances, the action ensures reliable feeding and extraction. Its robust construction provides a stable foundation for repeatable shot placement.
MDT Carbon Chassis System
The MDT Carbon chassis is a critical component in achieving the rifle’s alpine-ready weight profile. This hybrid chassis features a machined aluminum foundation integrated with carbon fiber elements, providing superior structural integrity and vibration dampening while significantly reducing overall mass. The chassis offers an adjustable length of pull and comb height to facilitate optimal shooter interface and consistent sight picture acquisition.
6.5 Weatherby RPM Caliber
Chambered in 6.5 Weatherby Rebated Precision Magnum (RPM), this rifle capitalizes on a cartridge engineered for high-performance, long-range engagements. The 6.5 RPM delivers a flat trajectory and substantial retained energy, making it highly effective for precision shooting at extended distances.
Precision Barrel
The rifle incorporates a premium 24-inch cold hammer-forged barrel. Its light contour and fluting contribute to the rifle’s balanced, low-mass profile, enhancing maneuverability while dissipating heat effectively. The barrel is threaded 1/2×28 (or 5/8×24 for 6.5mm, commonly) for direct integration of muzzle devices such as suppressors or recoil brakes.
Adjustable Trigger
A factory-tuned, adjustable trigger system facilitates a crisp, consistent break, which is essential for maximizing precision. This allows the shooter to fine-tune the trigger pull to their specific preference, mitigating common accuracy impediments.
