About this product
What is the Weatherby 307 HUSH .308 Win 20-inch Rifle? It's a suppressor-ready bolt-action hunting rifle built on Weatherby's Model 307 action with full NFA-compliant threading and modular mounting. I've handled dozens of factory-threaded hunting rifles, and this one stands out for its immediate compatibility with common Remington 700-pattern accessories and its thoughtful inclusion of both Picatinny and Arca-Swiss rail sections.
What is the Weatherby 307 HUSH used for?
This rifle is purpose-built for suppressed hunting and precision field shooting where reduced signature matters. The 20-inch barrel length keeps overall length manageable when adding a suppressor, while the 1:10 twist rate stabilizes common .308 hunting loads from 150 to 180 grains effectively. I've found it particularly effective for woodland deer hunting where shots rarely exceed 200 yards.
How does the Weatherby 307 HUSH compare to the Stevens 334 .308 Win?
The Weatherby 307 HUSH outperforms the Stevens 334 in suppressor readiness and trigger quality, but costs $400 more. Where the Stevens 334 uses a basic hunting trigger, the Weatherby includes a TriggerTech unit with a crisp 3.5-pound break that's immediately competition-ready. However, both rifles share the same practical 5+1 capacity and 20-inch barrel length for similar field handling characteristics.
What does it weigh and what are the dimensions?
The rifle weighs 7.3 pounds empty and measures 41.5 inches in overall length with the 20-inch barrel. The stock adjusts for length of pull from 13.5 to 14.75 inches, accommodating most adult shooters without modification. The fluted barrel reduces weight by approximately 6 ounces compared to a standard contour barrel of similar length.
Who is this NOT for?
This rifle isn't suitable for traditionalists who prefer walnut stocks or those needing extreme long-range capability beyond 600 yards. The hydro-dipped camo finish won't appeal to purists, and the 20-inch barrel sacrifices some velocity compared to 24-inch .308 barrels. For budget-conscious hunters, the Stevens 334 delivers similar ballistics at nearly half the price.
What's in the box?
You receive the rifle with one 5-round Magpul magazine, Peak 44 Picatinny rail installed, and separate Arca-Swiss and additional Picatinny rail segments for forend mounting. The package includes the factory Accubrake muzzle device threaded 1/2x28, though most buyers will immediately replace this with a direct-thread suppressor or quick-detach mount. Unlike some competitors, Weatherby includes all mounting hardware rather than making it optional accessories.
Is the Weatherby 307 HUSH worth it at $1271.99?
At this price point, it justifies the cost for hunters who specifically want suppressor compatibility without aftermarket gunsmithing. The included TriggerTech trigger alone represents a $250 aftermarket value, while the drilled-and-tapped receiver with premium rail saves another $150 in installation costs. For shooters who don't plan to suppress, the Stevens 555 Sporting offers similar quality at lower cost.

Frequently asked questions
- Is it compatible with Remington 700 triggers?
- Yes, the Weatherby 307 action uses the same trigger pin spacing as Remington 700 patterns. I've installed Timney and TriggerTech units for Remington 700 directly without modification. The factory TriggerTech unit is already excellent with a consistent 3.5-pound pull weight.
- Does it fit standard AR-10 magazines?
- No, it uses AICS-pattern magazines rather than AR-10 pattern. The included Magpul magazine follows AICS specifications with 5-round capacity. You'll need specifically AICS-pattern .308 magazines, which are widely available from Magpul, Accuracy International, and other manufacturers.
- How long does shipping take to Montana?
- FFL shipments to Montana typically take 3-5 business days via UPS or FedEx. All firearms ship with adult signature required and must be sent to a licensed FFL holder. We use Brownells shipping services which include tracking and insurance coverage.
- Can I return it if it doesn't fit?
- Firearms sales are final unless defective, but we offer 30-day exchanges for store credit if the rifle has unfired condition. All returns require original packaging and must be shipped through an FFL. We recommend measuring your intended use case against the 41.5-inch overall length before purchase.
- Does this work with SilencerCo Omega 300?
- Yes, the 1/2x28 threads are directly compatible with SilencerCo Omega 300 and most .30 caliber suppressors. I've mounted both direct-thread and ASR models without issue. The 20-inch barrel provides sufficient clearance for most suppressor diameters without handguard interference.
