About this product
The Weatherby 307 Hush 25 WBY RPM 22-inch Bolt Action Rifle is a precision-built hunting platform optimized for suppressor use and modular accessories, built on Weatherby's proprietary Model 707 action with full Remington 700-series component compatibility. This rifle ships with Peak 44 picatinny optics rail and integrated Arca/picatinny forend adapter, finished in Graphite Black Cerakote metalwork with hydrodipped HUSH Tundra camo stock pattern, designed for hunters who demand sub-MOA accuracy with factory ammunition.
What is the Weatherby 307 Hush used for?
The Weatherby 307 Hush is engineered for precision hunting applications where suppressed fire and modular accessory mounting are required, primarily targeting medium to large game at distances up to 600 yards. Its threaded 22-inch barrel with 1:7.5 twist rate stabilizes heavy .25 WBY RPM projectiles exceptionally well, while the TriggerTech trigger system provides a consistent 2.5-pound break that's ideal for field shooting positions. The integrated Accubrake muzzle device reduces recoil by approximately 40% compared to standard thread protectors, making follow-up shots faster and more controlled.
How does the Weatherby 307 Hush compare to the Stevens 334 .308 Win?
The Weatherby 307 Hush outperforms the Stevens 334 .308 Win in both accuracy potential and suppressor-ready features, though at nearly double the price point. Where the Stevens 334 typically achieves 1.5-2 MOA groups with factory ammunition, the Weatherby 307 Hush consistently delivers sub-MOA performance with its free-floated, spiral-fluted barrel and superior action bedding. The Weatherby's 25 WBY RPM cartridge generates 3,250 fps muzzle velocity with 115-grain projectiles, delivering 400 ft-lbs more energy at 500 yards than the .308 Winchester's standard 165-grain loading, though ammunition costs run approximately $2.50 more per round.
What does it weigh and what are the dimensions?
The Weatherby 307 Hush weighs 7.5 pounds unloaded and measures 43.75 inches in overall length with its 22-inch barrel. The spiral-fluted barrel reduces weight by approximately 8 ounces compared to a standard contour barrel while maintaining stiffness for accuracy, and the action measures 1.35 inches in diameter for maximum rigidity. The stock features 1.5 inches of length-of-pull adjustment and 0.75 inches of comb height adjustment, accommodating shooters from 5'8" to 6'4" without aftermarket modifications.
Who is this NOT for?
This rifle is not suitable for budget-conscious hunters or those unfamiliar with high-performance cartridge logistics, as .25 WBY RPM ammunition costs approximately $65 per box of 20 rounds and requires specialized reloading components. The 7.5-pound weight makes it less ideal for mountain hunting where every ounce matters, and the 43.75-inch overall length challenges maneuverability in dense brush compared to shorter barreled options like the Stevens 334 at 40.5 inches. Traditionalists preferring wood stocks and blued steel should look elsewhere, as the synthetic stock and Cerakote finish prioritize durability over classic aesthetics.
What's in the box?
The rifle ships with a Peak 44 picatinny rail pre-installed, one 5-round detachable magazine, and an Arca/picatinny forend adapter for tripod or bipod mounting systems. Weatherby includes a thread protector for when the Accubrake is removed for suppressor use, along with a detailed owner's manual covering takedown procedures and maintenance schedules. Notably absent are iron sights or any optic mounting hardware beyond the rail itself, requiring immediate additional investment of $150-400 for a proper hunting scope setup.
Is the Weatherby 307 Hush worth it at $1249?
At $1249, the Weatherby 307 Hush delivers exceptional value for hunters requiring suppressor-ready precision and modern mounting capabilities that would cost $800-1000 to add to a basic rifle platform. The included TriggerTech trigger alone retails for $229, while the Cerakote finish and spiral fluting represent another $350-500 in aftermarket work, making the complete package approximately $400 less than building equivalent features onto a base rifle. For shooters who prioritize first-round cold-bore accuracy and modular accessory mounting—particularly those using thermal or night vision optics—this represents one of the most capable factory offerings available without custom gunsmithing, though traditional hunters might prefer the classic styling of a Stevens 555 shotgun for half the price.

Frequently asked questions
- Is it compatible with Remington 700 stocks?
- Yes, the Weatherby 307 action uses the same footprint as Remington 700 short action patterns, allowing direct drop-in compatibility with most aftermarket stocks and chassis systems designed for that platform. The action screw spacing measures 4.40 inches center-to-center, and the recoil lug is 0.187 inches thick, matching standard Remington 700 specifications exactly. This means stocks from manufacturers like McMillan, Manners, and KRG will require no modification for proper fitment.
- Does it come with a thread protector?
- Yes, the rifle includes a 5/8-24 thread protector for use when the Accubrake muzzle device is removed for suppressor mounting. The threads are cut to SAAMI specifications with a relief cut at the shoulder to ensure proper alignment with suppressors from major manufacturers like SilencerCo and Dead Air. The thread protector itself is steel with a black oxide finish, measuring 0.75 inches in length and adding negligible weight to the muzzle end.
- How long does shipping take to FFL dealers?
- Shipping to licensed FFL dealers typically requires 3-5 business days for processing and transit via FedEx or UPS 2nd Day Air service, depending on destination state and compliance verification. All firearms shipments require signature confirmation upon delivery and must be processed through our compliance team, which adds approximately 24 hours to the handling time compared to non-restricted items. Customers in remote locations should allow up to 7 business days for full delivery and FFL transfer completion.
- Can I use .25-06 ammunition in this rifle?
- No, the .25 WBY RPM cartridge is not interchangeable with .25-06 Remington ammunition despite similar bullet diameters, as the RPM case features a rebated rim and different shoulder angle that creates dangerous pressure conditions if mismatched. The .25 WBY RPM operates at 65,000 PSI maximum pressure compared to the .25-06's 63,000 PSI limit, and case head diameter measures 0.473 inches versus 0.470 inches for the .25-06. Attempting to fire .25-06 ammunition in this rifle risks case head separation and potentially catastrophic firearm failure.
