Weatherby 307 Alpine ST .22 Creedmoor 22″ Rifle
About this product
The Weatherby 307 Alpine ST .22 Creedmoor 22" Rifle is a purpose-built, lightweight precision bolt-action platform engineered for extreme long-range and alpine backcountry deployment. It pairs Weatherby's cylindrical Model 307 action with a carbon-fiber Peak 44 Bastion stock, achieving a field-ready weight of 6.2 pounds without sacrificing the rigidity required for consistent sub-MOA accuracy. The 22-inch spiral-fluted, threaded barrel chambered in .22 Creedmoor provides the velocity and ballistic efficiency needed for engagements beyond 1,000 yards while maintaining exceptional portability for technical approaches.
What is the Weatherby 307 Alpine ST .22 Creedmoor 22" Rifle used for?
This rifle is designed for two primary applications: competitive long-range precision shooting where weight matters, and technical backcountry hunting where every ounce and inch impacts mobility. Its 6.2-pound weight and 41-inch overall length make it exceptionally packable for mountain stalks, while the .22 Creedmoor cartridge and 1:8" twist barrel stabilize heavy, high-BC projectiles like the 90-grain ELD-M for flat trajectories at extended distances. The graphite black Cerakote finish provides corrosion resistance for inclement weather conditions, and the spiral fluting reduces barrel weight by approximately 8 ounces versus a standard contour barrel of the same length.
How does the Weatherby 307 Alpine ST compare to the Stevens 334 Rifle?
The Alpine ST is a superior performer in specialized long-range and lightweight applications, whereas the Stevens 334 Rifle in .308 Win offers a more general-purpose utility at a significantly lower price point. Specifically, the Alpine ST is 2.3 pounds lighter than the 8.5-pound Stevens 334, features a carbon-fiber stock versus polymer, and is chambered for the more modern, wind-bucking .22 Creedmoor cartridge compared to the .308 Winchester. The Alpine ST is better for shooters prioritizing ultralight weight and advanced long-range ballistics; the Stevens 334 is better for hunters and recreational shooters seeking a durable, cost-effective rifle for standard hunting ranges under 500 yards.
What does it weigh and what are the dimensions?
The rifle weighs 6.2 pounds (2.81 kilograms) unloaded and without an optic, and has an overall length of 41 inches (1041 millimeters) from buttstock to muzzle. The 22-inch (559 mm) barrel features a 5/8-24 thread pattern for direct suppressor mounting, and the receiver is drilled and tapped for standard Picatinny or Weaver-style scope bases. Its 4+1 round internal magazine capacity is standard for precision bolt-action rifles to minimize protrusion, and the rifle's balance point is directly under the front action screw, which aids in off-hand stability.
Who is this NOT for?
This rifle is not for budget-conscious shooters, those new to long-range precision, or anyone seeking a high-volume plinking firearm. The .22 Creedmoor cartridge requires specific, often premium, ammunition and meticulous handloading for optimal performance, and the rifle's $1,899 price point demands serious intent. If your primary use is informal target shooting inside 300 yards or you're looking for your first hunting rifle, a more affordable and readily available option like the Stevens 334 in .243 Win is a more practical starting platform.
What's in the box?
You receive the complete Weatherby 307 Alpine ST rifle, a single 4-round AICS-pattern internal box magazine, and the necessary hex wrench for mounting a scope rail (rail not included). The factory-provided torque specifications for the action screws are 65 inch-pounds for the front and 45 inch-pounds for the rear, which is critical information for maintaining bedding consistency. There is no hard case included; transport requires a separate high-quality rifle case with a minimum interior length of 44 inches to accommodate the 41-inch rifle.
Is the Weatherby 307 Alpine ST worth it at $1,899?
Yes, but only for the disciplined shooter who will leverage its specific advantages in weight and long-range capability. This price buys you a sub-7-pound rifle capable of first-round hits on 10-inch steel at 800+ yards with proper ammunition, a combination you cannot find in rifles under $1,500. The investment is justified by the carbon-fiber stock, Cerakoted metalwork, and precision-machined action, components that directly translate to field-ready durability and consistent accuracy. If your shooting style doesn't demand this level of specialized performance, the cost is difficult to justify over more versatile options.

Pros & cons
What works
- Weighs 6.2 lbs — 2.3 lbs lighter than a Stevens 334 rifle for superior packability.
- 22-inch spiral-fluted barrel reduces weight by approx. 8 oz and aids cooling.
- 1:8" twist rate stabilizes long, heavy .224 projectiles up to 90 grains for superior long-range ballistics.
- Carbon fiber Peak 44 Bastion stock provides rigidity with minimal weight penalty versus traditional composites.
Trade-offs
- .22 Creedmoor ammunition is scarce and expensive — expect to pay $2.50-$4.00 per round for factory match-grade loads.
- 4+1 round capacity is limiting for some PRS-style competitions where stage round counts are higher.
- No optic mounting solution included — requires purchasing a separate Picatinny rail and rings, adding $100-$300 to the total cost.
- Fixed stock with no adjustability for length of pull or comb height, which is a significant ergonomic limitation for some shooters.

Frequently asked questions
- Is it compatible with a standard suppressor?
- Yes, the barrel is threaded 5/8-24 at the muzzle, which is the most common thread pitch for .30 caliber and many .22 and 6mm suppressors from brands like SilencerCo and Dead Air. Ensure your suppressor is rated for the .22 Creedmoor's chamber pressure, which can exceed 65,000 PSI with some loads.
- Does the stock fit a standard sling?
- Yes, the Peak 44 Bastion stock features two embedded, hardened steel swivel studs, one at the toe and one forward of the magazine well, compatible with 1" or 1.25" quick-detach swivels from brands like GrovTec. The spacing is 8.5 inches center-to-center for optimal balance when slung.
- How long does shipping take for this item?
- All firearms ship via Ironclad Armory's licensed distributor network within 3-5 business days after your FFL's license is verified and the mandatory 10-day waiting period (where applicable) clears. You will receive tracking information directly from the shipping carrier, typically UPS or FedEx.
- Can I return it if it doesn't fit my needs?
- No, Ironclad Armory does not accept returns on new firearms due to federal regulations, except in the case of a verified manufacturer defect. All sales are final once the firearm is transferred to your licensed FFL, which is why detailed pre-purchase research is critical for this specialized platform.
- Does this work with aftermarket AICS magazines?
- Yes, the internal magazine well is designed for Accurate Mag, Magpul, and other standard AICS-pattern short-action magazines. The factory magazine is a 4-round steel unit, but most 5- and 10-round polymer AICS magazines will function, though they may protrude significantly from the bottom of the stock.
