Key Features
- Two-Lug Cylindrical Action — WHY IT MATTERS: Provides a smooth, consistent bolt throw and maximizes compatibility with aftermarket stocks, triggers, rails, and chassis systems for long-term upgrades.
- TriggerTech Adjustable Field Trigger — WHY IT MATTERS: Delivers a crisp, creep-free break with a factory-adjustable pull weight range, improving shot-to-shot consistency without a gunsmith visit.
- Fluted, Threaded Barrel with Accubrake — WHY IT MATTERS: Reduces barrel weight for better balance, allows suppressor or brake attachment, and the Accubrake cuts felt recoil and muzzle rise for faster follow-up shots.
- Magpul AICS-Style Bottom Metal — WHY IT MATTERS: Uses widely available AICS-pattern magazines, giving you reliable feeding and easy reloads from a standard magazine well.
- Adjustable Cheekpiece and Length of Pull — WHY IT MATTERS: Lets you fine-tune stock fit for consistent cheek weld and eye relief, critical for precision shooting with optics.

FAQ
What is the barrel twist rate on the Weatherby 307 Range XP 2.0 in .223 Rem?
The barrel twist rate is 1:8 inches, per Weatherby specs. This stabilizes bullets from 55 to 77 grains, covering most .223 Rem loads for precision and varmint use.
Does the rifle come with a scope base or rail?
Yes, the receiver is drilled and tapped for a Picatinny rail (not included). You’ll need to purchase a rail separately, but the action is compatible with standard Remington 700 footprint rails.
Is the Accubrake removable?
Yes, the Accubrake is threaded onto the barrel (5/8×24 thread pattern) and can be removed for suppressor attachment or replaced with a different muzzle device.
What magazines are compatible with this rifle?
The rifle ships with a Magpul AICS-style magazine. It accepts any AICS-pattern .223 Rem magazine, including Magpul, Accurate-Mag, and AI-brand magazines.
Can I swap the stock to a chassis system?
Yes. The 307 action uses a Remington 700 footprint, so it fits most aftermarket chassis systems (e.g., MDT, KRG, XLR) and stocks designed for 700-pattern actions.
