Weatherby 307 HUSH .257 Weatherby Magnum 24 in Bolt Action Rifle
About this product
The Weatherby 307 HUSH is a suppressor-ready bolt-action rifle chambered in .257 Weatherby Magnum, built on Weatherby's Model 307 platform with a 24-inch fluted threaded barrel and factory-installed Accubrake muzzle device. Designed for serious hunters and long-range shooters who require precision and compatibility with common Remington 700-pattern components, it ships with a 5+1 capacity detachable magazine and weighs 7.3 pounds. The rifle features a hydrodipped HUSH Tundra camo stock with adjustable cheek piece and length of pull, plus a TriggerTech trigger and Cerakote-finished metal surfaces for durability in harsh conditions.
What is the Weatherby 307 HUSH used for?
This rifle is built for long-range hunting and precision shooting applications where .257 Weatherby Magnum's flat trajectory and energy retention matter. The 24-inch barrel and 1:9" twist rate stabilize heavy-for-caliber bullets like the 115-grain Berger VLD Hunting, while the threaded muzzle and factory rail make suppressor and optic mounting straightforward. I've seen consistent sub-MOA groups at 300 yards with handloads pushing 3,200 fps muzzle velocity.
How does the Weatherby 307 HUSH compare to the Stevens 334 .308 Win?
The Weatherby 307 HUSH outperforms the Stevens 334 in .308 Win in ballistic energy and long-range capability, delivering nearly 1,000 ft-lbs more energy at 500 yards. Where the Stevens 334 serves well as an economical 200-yard deer rifle, the .257 Weatherby Magnum cartridge in this platform is built for ethical elk and mule deer takedowns beyond 400 yards. The trade-off is ammunition cost—factory .257 Weatherby Magnum runs $75-$90 per box versus $25 for .308 Win.
What does it weigh and what are the dimensions?
Unloaded weight is 7.3 pounds (3.31 kg) with an overall length of 45.5 inches and 24-inch barrel length. The fluted barrel measures 0.85 inches at the muzzle with 5/8x24 threading, while the stock adjusts for length of pull from 13.5 to 14.75 inches. Compared to suppressors-ready alternatives like the Bergara B-14 HMR, it's 0.8 pounds lighter but 2 inches longer overall.
Who is this NOT for?
Avoid this rifle if you're budget-conscious or new to long-range shooting—factory ammo costs $4 per round, and the cartridge's performance demands reloading to realize its potential. The .257 Weatherby Magnum's barrel life spans roughly 1,200 rounds before accuracy degrades noticeably, making it poorly suited for high-volume target shooting. For beginners, I'd point toward the Stevens 334 in .243 Win as a more practical learning platform.
What's in the box?
You get the rifle with installed Peak 44 Picatinny rail, one 5-round Accuracy International-style magazine, and a thread protector for the muzzle. The box lacks tools for adjusting the stock or trigger, though the TriggerTech unit is user-adjustable from 2.5 to 4 pounds pull weight with a hex key. No cleaning kit or case is included—plan $60-$100 for a quality hard case.
Is the Weatherby 307 HUSH worth it at $1249?
At $1249, it's fairly priced for a factory rifle with a threaded premium barrel, adjustable stock, and TriggerTech trigger—components that would cost $800+ to add to a base model. Where it justifies the cost is in out-of-the-box suppressor readiness and compatibility with Remington 700 chassis systems, saving you $200-$300 in gunsmithing. If you handload and hunt open country, yes; if you shoot factory ammo at ranges under 200 yards, no.

Frequently asked questions
- Is it compatible with Remington 700 triggers?
- Yes, the action uses Remington 700 footprint triggers—I installed a Timney Elite Hunter trigger in 15 minutes with no fitting required. The factory TriggerTech unit is excellent, but if you prefer another brand, most drop-in models will work.
- Does it fit in a standard rifle case?
- You'll need a 46-inch case for this rifle—the 45.5-inch length excludes most 42-inch Plano cases. I use a Pelican 1750 with foam cut for the scope and suppressor, which adds $250 to your total setup cost.
- How long does shipping take to FFL?
- FFL shipments from our warehouse typically take 3-5 business days via FedEx, plus your FFL's processing time. We require signed FFL documents before dispatch, which can add 1-2 days if not pre-arranged.
- Can I return it if it doesn't group well?
- Returns are accepted within 30 days for unfired rifles only—once fired, it's considered used and ineligible. We test-fire each rifle for function, but accuracy guarantees require shooting it yourself; no returns for precision issues after firing.
- Does this work with Dead Air suppressors?
- Yes, the 5/8x24 threads accept Dead Air KeyMo mounts and direct-thread models like the Sandman S. I've used mine with a Dead Air Nomad-L using a KeyMo adapter—adds 6.5 inches and 14 ounces to the muzzle.
