Key Features
- BSF Carbon Threaded Barrel — Why it matters: Carbon wrapping cuts weight without sacrificing stiffness, letting you carry this rifle all day on a high-country stalk and still ring steel at 600 yards.
- Weatherby Accubrake DST — Why it matters: This two-port brake tames the 6.5 PRC’s recoil so you can spot your own hits, even from field positions, without flinching.
- Peak 44 Bastion Carbon Stock — Why it matters: The carbon fiber construction sheds ounces while the ergonomic grip and forend keep you steady on uneven ground or shooting sticks.
- TriggerTech Field Trigger — Why it matters: A crisp, adjustable trigger pull (factory set at 2.5–3 lbs) eliminates creep and lets you break clean shots on moving game or tight groups at the bench.
- Chocolate Brown Cerakote Finish — Why it matters: This durable coating resists rust, scratches, and glare, so the rifle blends into timber and sagebrush while holding up to wet weather and hard use.
Who It’s For
This rifle is built for the backcountry hunter who needs a lightweight, accurate platform for long-range shots on elk, mule deer, and antelope. It also suits the precision shooter who wants a factory rifle that’s ready for optics, a brake, and a bipod without aftermarket work.
Pros & Cons
- Pro: Sub-7-pound weight makes it one of the lightest production 6.5 PRC rifles on the market.
- Pro: TriggerTech trigger is user-adjustable and breaks clean with zero overtravel.
- Pro: Threaded barrel (5/8-24) accepts standard suppressors and brakes.
- Con: The carbon stock may feel too slender for shooters with larger hands; aftermarket grip panels are limited.

FAQ
What twist rate does the Weatherby 307 Alpine CT barrel have?
The BSF carbon barrel has a 1:7.5 twist rate, optimized for stabilizing heavy 6.5 PRC bullets like the 147-grain ELD-M and 156-grain Berger.
Does the Alpine CT come with a scope base or rings?
No. The receiver is drilled and tapped for #8-40 screws, and it ships with a Picatinny rail included. You’ll need to add your own rings or one-piece mount.
Can I use this rifle for hunting in wet conditions?
Yes. The Cerakote finish and carbon fiber stock are corrosion-resistant, and the barrel is stainless steel under the carbon wrap. Just wipe it down after heavy rain or snow.
Is the TriggerTech trigger user-adjustable?
Yes. You can adjust pull weight from 2.5 to 5 pounds using a hex key, and it has a zero-creep design that stays consistent through the range.
What is the overall length of the Weatherby 307 Alpine CT?
Overall length is 44.5 inches with the 22-inch barrel and Accubrake DST installed. Without the brake, it measures 43 inches.
