For 2024, Weatherby has introduced two new rifle models, the 307 Alpine CT and the 307 Adventure SD, expanding its modular 307 action series.
Expanding the Innovative 307 Platform
The introduction of the Alpine CT and Adventure SD models builds upon the significant groundwork laid by Weatherby in 2023. That year marked a major milestone for the company, as it unveiled the 307 action—its first completely new rifle action in half a century. The original 307 was designed to offer an accessible, affordable, and highly modular option within Weatherby's renowned bolt-action rifle catalog, diverging from some of their more traditional, higher-end offerings. This strategic move allowed Weatherby to appeal to a broader market segment seeking versatility and customizability.
Key New Models for 2024
The two new models for 2024 enhance the 307 platform by providing more specialized configurations:
- Weatherby 307 Alpine CT: This model is designed for precision and performance, likely optimized for specific shooting conditions, given its "Alpine" designation.
- Weatherby 307 Adventure SD: The "Adventure" and "SD" (potentially standing for "Suppressed" or "Special Duty") in its name suggest a focus on ruggedness, versatility, and perhaps a more compact or suppressor-ready design for diverse outdoor applications.
Both the 307 Alpine CT and Adventure SD retain the core benefits of the 307 action, including its affordability and modularity. This allows users to potentially customize components, making the rifles adaptable to various hunting, target shooting, or tactical scenarios. By adding these distinct models, Weatherby continues to broaden the appeal of its modern rifle line, offering more choices to shooters who value a balance of performance, adaptability, and cost-effectiveness.
