Description
The Weatherby 307 Alpine MDT 7mm Rem Mag 28in is a precision hunting rifle that blends a lightweight, hunt-ready chassis with long-range capability. Built on an MDT HNT26 magnesium/carbon-fiber stock, it keeps weight down without sacrificing stiffness. Chambered in 7mm Remington Magnum with a 28-inch barrel, this bolt action delivers the velocity and energy needed for open-country elk and mule deer. The black Cerakote finish protects against weather, and the rifle ships with an AICS-pattern detachable magazine, drilled and tapped for optics. If you want a do-it-all mountain rifle that shoots flat and carries light, this is it.

Key Features

Who It’s For
This rifle is built for the hunter who puts in the miles and expects to shoot accurately at distance. If you chase elk across basins or spot-and-stalk mule deer in high country, the Weatherby 307 Alpine MDT 7mm Rem Mag 28in gives you the reach and the light weight to get there and get the job done. It also suits shooters who want a dedicated long-range rig without the bulk of a heavy bench gun.
Pros & Cons
- Pro: Lightweight chassis (under 7 lbs) makes it a true mountain rifle.
- Pro: Threaded barrel and TriggerTech trigger are factory-ready upgrades.
- Con: The 28-inch barrel can feel muzzle-heavy in tight brush or timber; it’s best suited for open country.
