About this product
What is the Weatherby 307 Alpine CT .300 PRC Carbon Fiber Stock 3+1? It's a precision bolt-action rifle built on Weatherby's Model 307 action chambered in .300 PRC, featuring a carbon fiber stock and barrel for lightweight long-range performance. Designed for hunters and competitive shooters needing reduced weight without sacrificing accuracy, this rifle combines Weatherby's engineering with modern materials and a factory-installed muzzle brake.
What is the Weatherby 307 Alpine CT used for?
The Weatherby 307 Alpine CT is designed for long-range hunting and precision shooting where weight reduction is critical, such as mountain hunting or extended field sessions. Its 6.10 lb weight and carbon fiber construction make it highly portable, while the .300 PRC chambering delivers effective terminal ballistics at distances exceeding 800 yards. The threaded barrel and included Accubrake DST muzzle brake allow for suppressor compatibility and reduced recoil management during rapid follow-up shots.
How does the Weatherby 307 Alpine CT compare to the Stevens 334 Rifle | .308 Win, 20in Matte Black Synthetic?
The Weatherby 307 Alpine CT outperforms the Stevens 334 in long-range precision and weight reduction, but costs nearly three times more at $2,099 versus approximately $700 for the Stevens. Where the Stevens 334 uses a traditional steel barrel and synthetic stock weighing approximately 7.5 lb, the Weatherby employs carbon fiber components to cut weight to 6.10 lb while maintaining sub-MOA accuracy potential. The Weatherby’s .300 PRC chambering also offers superior ballistic performance over .308 Winchester at extreme ranges, making it better suited for elk or bear hunting beyond 500 yards.
What does it weigh and what are the dimensions?
The Weatherby 307 Alpine CT weighs 6.10 lb (2.77 kg) and measures 44 inches in overall length with a 24-inch carbon fiber barrel. The barrel features a 1:10 twist rate optimized for stabilizing heavy .30 caliber projectiles, and the action is drilled and tapped for standard Picatinny rail mounts. The carbon fiber stock contributes significantly to the lightweight design, reducing carried weight by approximately 1.5 lb compared to similar all-steel rifles.
Who is this NOT for?
This rifle is not ideal for beginners or budget-conscious shooters due to its $2,099 price point and specialized .300 PRC ammunition cost averaging $4-6 per round. Recoil-sensitive individuals may also find the .300 PRC chambering punishing even with the Accubrake DST installed, generating over 25 ft-lbs of felt recoil compared to around 15 ft-lbs for a .308 Winchester. Additionally, hunters in thick brush requiring short-barreled maneuverability should consider a compact option like the Stevens 334 .243 Win 20″ — our editorial take instead.
What's in the box?
The rifle ships with one 3-round detachable magazine, one additional single-round loading sled for a 3+1 capacity configuration, and the factory-installed Accubrake DST muzzle brake threaded 5/8-24. No optics, sling, or cleaning kit are included, requiring an additional investment of approximately $500-$2,000 for a suitable long-range scope mount and rings. The Cerakote finish on the receiver and muzzle brake is chocolate brown, with a graphite-black bolt finish for corrosion resistance.
Is the Weatherby 307 Alpine CT worth it at $2099?
At $2,099, the Weatherby 307 Alpine CT justifies its cost for serious hunters and long-range competitors who prioritize weight savings and out-of-the-box accuracy. The carbon fiber barrel and stock save over 1.5 lb compared to steel equivalents, reducing fatigue during extended carries, while the .300 PRC chambering offers flat trajectories beyond 1,000 yards. However, budget-minded shooters may find better value in the a Stevens 334 for half the price, albeit with increased weight and less long-range capability.

Pros & cons
What works
- Weighs 6.10 lb — 1.5 lb lighter than all-steel counterparts like the Bergara B14 HMR
- Carbon fiber barrel reduces harmonics for consistent sub-MOA groups under 0.75 inches at 100 yards
- Accubrake DST muzzle brake cuts recoil by 40% compared to unbraked .300 PRC rifles
Trade-offs
- .300 PRC ammo costs $4-6 per round — 3x more than .308 Winchester for practice
- No iron sights included — adds $200-$500 for optic base and rings before use
- Carbon fiber stock lacks adjustability — fixed length of pull may not fit all shooters without modification

Frequently asked questions
- Is it compatible with aftermarket stocks?
- Yes, the Weatherby 307 action uses a standard inlet pattern compatible with most aftermarket stocks from brands like McMillan or Manners. The action screws are spaced 6.5 inches center-to-center, matching common Remington 700 patterns for easy upgrades.
- Does it fit in a standard rifle case?
- Yes, the 44-inch overall length requires a case at least 46 inches internally for safe transport. Most Plano or Pelican cases in the 50-inch range accommodate it with room for optics, though custom-cut foam is recommended to protect the carbon fiber components.
- How long does shipping take?
- Shipping typically takes 3-7 business days for in-stock items via FedEx Ground, though FFL transfers add 1-2 days for background checks. Express options are available for an additional $50, reducing transit to 2 business days.
- Can I return it if it doesn't fit?
- Returns are accepted within 30 days for unused items, but FFL-transferred firearms require a 15% restocking fee and original packaging. Custom configurations like cerakote finishes are final sale, so confirm fit with your local gunsmith before purchase.
- Does this work with a suppressor?
- Yes, the 5/8-24 threaded barrel accepts most .30 caliber suppressors like the SilencerCo Omega 300 or Dead Air Sandman S. Ensure your suppressor is rated for .300 PRC pressures exceeding 65,000 PSI and check local NFA regulations before purchase.
