The Weatherby Model 307 Alpine MDT Carbon rifle in .280 Ackley Improved with a 22-inch barrel (brand part no. 3WAMC280AR4B) is built on Weatherby’s Model 307 action, a two-lug fully cylindrical platform designed to accommodate the wide range of aftermarket stocks, triggers, rails, and magazines available today. Weatherby teamed up with MDT to build an ultra-light chassis rifle around the HNT26 chassis system, and the carbon fiber chassis features a foldable buttstock that cuts over 9 inches of overall length when collapsed for a compact carry option. The BSF carbon barrel is finished in Carbon Grey Cerakote and paired with Weatherby’s Accubrake DST for directional, self-timing recoil control, while the bolt and bolt knob wear Graphite Black Cerakote. Among chassis-based precision hunting rifles in the bolt action rifles category, this Alpine MDT Carbon configuration favors hunters who want a compact, foldable rifle in a proven, flat-shooting cartridge.
