Weatherby Model 307Thoughts? There are several unique ideas and the $750 action price is attractive, so is the 7.5 twist 243

A company like Weatherby needed their own action to compliment the Mark V. The Vanguard is a good rifle but its not true Weatherby
For it is not the quarry that we truly seek, but the adventure.

I wonder if the trigger comes with the $750 price tag. I doubt but if yes then I'm super interested.
I'm a dude who likes long barrels!

Oh look, Weatherby made a Remington clone…my thoughts.

I don’t hate it, but I’ll still buy a Mark V first.

I'll keep my 300wsm Vanguard but the action looks interesting. I do want a Weatherby that says made in Sheridan, Wyoming though.

Looks good. I like the toolless bolt but, All that work around a two-lug vs the 3-lug. Fail.

Really wish mfgs would offer 20" threaded barrels in a touch heavier contours.

The focus of the OP was the new Weatherby Model 307.

Price is right, too. Under $1,500 for a real Weatherby made in Sheridan with those features will sell a lot of rifles. The Vanguard will fade away.

Also puts pressure on competition like Bergara and Tikka. Looks like a solid build. Interested to read the reviews once people start getting their hands on them.

I would like to see one in a wood or regular synthetic ( not plastic ) stock
For it is not the quarry that we truly seek, but the adventure.

I don’t see the Vanguard fading away anytime soon. It is by far the company’s top seller. I recently purchased a Vanguard in 7mm-08 through the Weatherby custom shop—tungsten cerakote and fiberglass stock—and it was still significantly less than the lowest priced 307. So far it shoots .5” to .75” groups with whatever I feed it.
