The Weatherby Model 307 Alpine CT in .280 Ackley Improved (brand part no. G3WACT280AR4B) is built on Weatherby’s modern Model 307 action, a 2-lug fully cylindrical design compatible with a huge range of aftermarket stocks, triggers, rails, and mounts. Weatherby partnered with PEAK 44 to build the ultra-light Bastion stock, which weighs just 24 ounces and uses a proprietary 3D-Hex recoil pad to soften recoil. The BSF carbon barrel delivers serious accuracy, and the .280 Ackley Improved gives hunters near-magnum performance with noticeably less recoil than a traditional magnum cartridge.
