The Weatherby 307 Range XP 2.0 in .280 Ackley Improved (brand part no. 3WRX2280AR6B) is a Weatherby Model 307 bolt-action built for hunters and long-range shooters who want a custom-feeling rifle at a production price. A 24-inch threaded barrel wears an Accubrake muzzle brake, and the action carries an externally adjustable TriggerTech Field trigger. The hand-painted vertical grip stock has an adjustable cheekpiece and adjustable length of pull, so it can be fitted to the shooter. Weatherby builds the Range XP 2.0 at its headquarters in Sheridan, Wyoming. It suits a hunter who wants a flat-shooting magnum-class case in a short, stiff action.
