Weatherby® Introduces Model 307™ Alpine ST

Sheridan, WY – May 28th, 2025. In the summer of 2023, Weatherby introduced the Model 307™ action. This new action was designed to complement the historic Mark V® and Vanguard® lineups by offering a new platform that was value-rich, innovative, and could accommodate a wide variety of after-market accessories. Since the launch of Model 307, Weatherby has released several rifle models, but today they released the Alpine ST, which features a carbon fiber stock and spiral fluted barrel for just $1,999.

About the Model 307 Action

The Model 307 is a 2-lug design equipped with an M-16 style extractor for smooth and reliable cycling. The bolt has a unique tool-less disassembly feature that makes it easy to break down for cleaning and field maintenance. The action’s cylindrical design accommodates Stiller/Savage® scope mounts and is threaded for 8-40 screws. The action's footprint is compatible with Rem® 700 aftermarket parts.


Peak 44 Bastion Stock

The Peak 44 Bastion was built out of necessity and engineered to be the lightest and strongest vertical grip carbon fiber stock on the market. Weighing in at just 24 oz, the Bastion utilizes aerospace materials that have incredible strength-to-weight ratios. The forend features dual sling studs to allow the shooter multiple options when deciding on accessories. This upgraded stock allows shooters to comfortably and accurately shoot from all positions at the range and in the field.


Spiral Fluted Barrel and Bolt

Both the barrel and bolt of the Alpine ST are spiral-fluted to reduce weight, improve heat dissipation, and give the rifle a great look.


Shorter Barrel Lengths

The Alpine ST line features shorter barrels on Weatherby Magnum Calibers. Most barrels will be 2” shorter than traditional offerings (excluding 6.5-300).


TriggerTech Trigger

TriggerTech’s trigger provides a true zero-creep break and is externally adjustable down to 2.5 lbs. Precision-cut stainless steel components ensure consistent trigger pulls from shot to shot in a safe, reliable, and corrosion-resistant package.


Accubrake ST™

The Alpine ST comes with a radial muzzle brake engineered to reduce felt recoil by up to 53%. All models are conveniently threaded with 1/2x28 threads.

14 Chamberings Available

Available in standard short and long actions, the Alpine ST offers some of Weatherby’s historic magnum cartridges but is also available in some of the most popular cartridges on the market.

Okay Ad Lib Time,

We had a 307 for a while where and these are great rifles, and in 65CM they have a magazine, so you can use it as production rifle.

I put a APA Micro on it and make you can really control this rifle. Chris was doing a bunch of off hand, no support but a sling work with it, and things were great all around with this rifle

Badlands "Shell Shock" 5.56 - snake oil?

Hey guys, can anyone here explain the difference between the rounds in the video/links below, and normal steel case ammo? Is Badlands just loading extra-hot (maybe dangerously hot) steel-case 5.56 and trying to hype it for higher profit margins? I tried to link the Youtube video to where the host notes that the case is "nickel alloy stainless case," but how metallurgically different is that from...say...Tula or Brown Bear cases, or the steel-case 77gr OTM that AAC was selling a few months ago on the Palmetto State Armory website?

I'm also suspicious of his FGMM 77gr velocity numbers from the 10.3 barrel. He shoots a 5-round group, but shots 2, 3, and 4 are cut from the video, and the last shot is suspiciously higher than the average, while the first shot is suspiciously low. It seems like a fairly extreme spread for that ammunition.

Oh, also: Badlands wants $1.45/round for these "Shell Shock" this 77gr OTM rounds (https://badlandsmunitionsco.com/product/556-nas3-77gr-sierra-match-king/), so the statement at 0:00:15 that it is "the same price as your brass 5.56" is an outright lie. Just one more red flag to call out.

There are probably more nits to pick too, but those are the ones that jumped out at me first. Does this activate anyone else's Spidey senses? Do we have any history/reason to trust that this guy is an honest broker of information? Am I missing a major reason to buy the hype here?

*New MDT HNT26 Left handed chassis inlets*

“Left-handed hunters are used to adapting, but we shouldn’t have to.”
That’s how one shooter summed it up, and they’re right. Left-handed options are few and far between, leaving most to modify or settle for gear that wasn’t made for them.

But not this time.

Deep in the backcountry, every ounce matters. Your legs burn, your shoulders ache, and that “just a few extra ounces” starts to feel like a mistake. That’s why we built a true lightweight chassis made specifically for left-handed shooters.

Now available: left-handed HNT26 for Tikka T3/T3x SA and Remington 700 LA rifles.DSC04318-Resized.jpg

SAC Modular Sizing Die vs New Area 419 S Die

I need a 6GT sizing die for my new 6GT set up using Alpha Brass.

I understand the form and functionality of the SAC die. I have one in .308.

I also have the Infinity Seat Die and Nexus Press. Overall big fan of the SAC stuff.

That being said I’ve been waiting for the combination of die, bushing, and mandrel to come in stock at SAC for months now to no avail.

Just got notified this morning that the S series die for 6GT is finally available.

There’s a little less info on the S series. Just the basic run downs. Seems it uses an expander mandrel as well but the internals are just honed to a specific dimension instead of using an interchangeable neck/shoulder bushing?
I know other versions of S series have been available for several months. Just looking for feedback and comparisons from anyone who has experienced both.

I’m sure they both do a great job.

Firearms Impact 300WM MPA BA ESR (Blue Mountain Built)

Note: Suppressor, Scope not included. Will include ARC scope rings (34mm) and Atlas Bipod at no cost. I also have a bunch of Federal Gold Sierra MatchKing 300WM available if interested.

For any questions DM me here or sent me a text. 8one4-2five4-7four42

APA Gen 4 Littel Bastard/ Fat Bastard

Looks like APA has come out with their latest generation of brakes. Curious to see how they perform in comparison to the ACE and new Hawkins updraft brakes.


https://www.americanprecisionarms.c...lf-timing-muzzle-brake?variant=41953707032673

From their website:

OUR SOFTEST RECOILING AND FLATTEST SHOOTING BRAKE EVER

APA is proud to introduce the Gen 4 Fat Bastard. The Gen 4 is a culmination of engineering improvements as well as a little bit of what you asked, we listened. As the long-range precision rifle community grows, the shooter has gotten more refined and discriminating. This has presented us here at APA with new challenges to improve.

Our goal for the last year in developing the 4th generation was two-fold; one to make the flattest shooting brake on the market and two, to create a low concussion maximum recoil reduction product. We are happy to announce that we did it!

The new calibrated U.R.P tunable top ports have been designed for maximum adjustment making the Gen 4 line of brakes the flattest shooting brakes available hands down. By testing port size, location, and how the gas feeds into them, we have been able to make these tunable top ports capable of generating zero vertical movement.

The new fine-tuned Bastard port has been engineered to decrease concussion while retaining maximum recoil reduction. In the muzzle brake community, there is an unwritten law that says “more concussion, more recoil reduction” and vice versa. This is something we really dug into, and we have found this to simply be not true. Borrowing from decades of research in the golf industry with their “sound is feel” philosophy, we wanted to figure out why a technically more effective and superior muzzle brakes would often anecdotally “feel” harsher even though the gun moved less and moved slower. Well, we had a eureka moment with how the sound or tone works in conjunction with the physical recoil. The new fine-tuned Bastard port and internal manifold produce a softer and sonically smoother recoil impulse by shaping the sound, into a lower frequency. The perception to the shooter is a much softer shooting rifle. This brake is easier on the ears and easier to stay in target, period.

Although the DNA remains the same, the new Generation 4 Fat Bastard Self-Timing Muzzle Brake is a completely new beast. It is flatter shooting, softer recoiling, more tunable, and easier to use than ever.

1.1" in Diameter, 3.3" In Length, and Weighs 6.4 oz

Made for barrel diameters of .8 to 1.1 inch.

The Gen 4 Fat Bastard can handle magnum cartridges.


Available in 6mm, 6.5mm & .308 (7mm) with more calibers to come.



• New optimally tuned top ports for maximum efficacy and tunability.

• New port design and internal manifold that is more efficient, and softer sounding.

• Caliber and level line machined on brake face.

• No Thread-tite necessary in top ports.

• Completely machined in our facility in Jefferson GA

Best 6GT dies?

I'm a long time reloader of pistol ammo and "plinking" .223, but I'm brand-spanky new in precision rifle reloading. I bought a good turret press and am shopping for dies, so looking for the best dies for 6GT. On the GAP website I see RCBS MatchMaster 2-die set, which includes a .266 bushing, and the Redding 2-die set, which is sold without bushing.
Any thoughts from the Hide on which is best, or is there an even better option, and if I go with the either, what size bushings should I be looking to buy if not .266?

Thanks!
