The Alpine™ CT is built on Weatherby®’s newest bolt action rifle platform, the Model 307™. Meant to complement the historic Mark V® and Vanguard® lineups, the Model 307 action is a 2-lug, fully cylindrical action compatible with many aftermarket accessories. Model 307 is designed to accommodate the vast offerings of stocks, triggers, rails, and mounts that exist in today’s marketplace. Weatherby teamed up with PEAK 44 to produce an ultra-light rifle that can own the range and dominate in the field. The PEAK 44 Bastion stock weighs in at 24 ounces and uses a proprietary 3D-Hex recoil pad to reduce the effects of recoil. You’ll also find that the barrels on the Alpine MDT Carbon are shorter than our traditional offerings. The BSF carbon barrel delivers unmatched accuracy and comes with Weatherby’s Accubrake DST™ (Directional Self-Timing Brake).

Can’t even believe what this firearm is capable of, I’m impressed with its performance, I’m one who doesn’t Reload therfore I chose to take leap of faith and purched a 7mm Backcountry, been to the range and bought all of Federals factory loads, and am impressed knowing that the 168 gn. Barnes LRX performance is bar none, my first group of three came on at .65″ with an average of 3,063 F.P.S., second group measured .341″ with an average speed of 3,052! I’ve been a seekins precision kinda of guy however, looks like I’m turning away from them and will be going this route with weatheryby! Thanks so much for producing such a fine firearm, keep up the great work!!

I was looking for a Weatherby Model 307 with a short barrel in 300 Win Mag. I use a suppressor and my other Weatherby Vanguard 300 Win Mag was just to unwieldy hunting in brushy areas. The Alpine CT fit the bill. I put a Leupold Gen2 VX5 on it and with my Bannish Meateater suppressor it balances out nicely. I did the Weatherby barrel break-in and shot a nice 1 1/4 inch 5 shot group with rounds 16-20 using Hornady Precision Hunter ELD-X 175 gr bullets without much waiting time between shots. I was impressed with the accuracy as my primary goal was just to break in the barrel and not worrying about zeroing in for a particular load. My next range visit i plan on finding what factory and handloads this rifle likes as the cleaning the bore every 3 shots for the first 15 and the last 5 takes a little time when you you are using a public range and during Cease Fire you can’t touch your rifle. This rifle checks off every box you want for a big game rifle. Light weight, super reduced recoil with the stock design and recoil pad. I will not use the muzzle break that comes with it as I already mentioned i use a suppressor. The overall barrel length with suppressor is just over 27 inches. The most important box is accuracy and as I stated earlier it already shoots less than the Weatherby less than an inch guarantee with a 3 shot group during barrel break-in when I was not letting the barrel cool down that much. Bottom line is this is a lot of gun for the money.

Favorite gun shop had one on the shelf in .308 with a 20†barrel ,so I bought it. Topped it with a Leupold VX5HD 3-15×44 Fire Dot . It loves Federal 168gr Hybrid Hunter , 3 shots almost in the same hole @ 100yds. Didn’t use muzzle break ( but very nice) wanted to keep it short for deer hunting out of blinds. Excellent quality. Very happy with the rifle.

I recently retired an old Mark 5 300 Weatherby mag and replaced it with a 307 Alpine CT in the same caliber. I have never had a gun group so fast. With in the first box, holes touching holes was the norm with the 170gr Hammer bullets. Another outstanding product from
Weatherby! Thank you for continually rising above the rest!!

6.5 CM + Vortex Razor LHT 4.5-22, shooting .5†groups with Hornady 140gr BTHP Match bulk ammo! As another reviewer stated, it does benefit from firing a test group first (around 1†from a clean barrel). Fit and finish are fantastic, on par with custom.

Bought this rifle a few weeks ago in 7 PRC. The fit and finish is just pure quality. The light weight feel and handling are great and look forward to a future Elk hunt with this rifle. The muzzle break works awesome taming the recoil pretty substantially. Sighted in with Hornady 180gr Match ammo and was seeing right around an inch to 1.2″ for groups. Federal 175 gr ammo was shooting .6 to .7 inch groups. The Weatherby 177 gr Hammer ammo shot lights out with a 5 shot group of .83″.

Bought this a few months ago and it never shot hornady precision hunter 175 eldx ammo well. Started hand loading for it and it shoots .3-.5 5 shit groups consistantly. Very pleased with this rifle. No complaints other than

Had to order mine online due to no local shops having one in stock. I went with the 7 PRC. Topped it off with a night force SHV and the weight was at 8lbs 7oz , although going to change this for a lightweight Leupold. Took it to the range today and shot a box of Hornady 175 ELDX ammo. The first group was 1.987 inches, 2nd group 2.930 inches (little panic there), 3rd group 1.513 inches, 4th group was 1.739 inches (my wife shot this group), 5th group 1.375 inches, 6th and final group I shot today was 0.633 inches (fist pumped the air the whole walk back to the line).
Take note that I was also doing the break in process of cleaning the barrel during the first 10 shots then every 3 shot group again got the barrel cleaned. I did notice the fouling round was the one round that opened up the groups the two follow up shots after this were very close so just keep that in mind. This is also a new rifle to me, and I usually shoot 2 stage triggers so some of the initial bad groups were most likely me. The final group I felt the most comfortable and relaxed shooting the firearm, and the group shows it.
It should be noted in my experience with carbon barrels they get more and more accurate over time and shot count, that is my experience. This rifle was just like my other rifles that are carbon 280AI and 300PRC, proper barrel break in and the groupings seem to shrink with each next group. So, if you buy it thinking you’re going to shoot pin holes the first group, don’t count on it, or maybe you’re just that lucky or good. Do the break in process, trust the process and your rifle will break in nicely and shoot better then Weatherby claims it will.
All in all thanks to the Weatherby team for this build. I watched every video and listened to every podcast I could about this rifle before I ordered it. I have been really searching for a backcountry hunting rifle that’s light, looks super cool and shoots better than advertised. I am so glad I waited for this rifle and did not jump out and buy another brand that was easier to find. This rifle is going to be my new go to for just about everything, thanks Weatherby.

Got mine in 6.5PRC- paired it with an NX8. 8lbs 5oz and this baby shoots!
.5min groups are easy, with many just one ragged hole. This is during break in with test loads. I will be buying more.
Customer quality from Weatherby –
Absolutely love this rifle! I paired it with a Nightforce Nx8 and boy does it perform! Only thing I wish it had, was a mag feed bottom metal. Otherwise, this rifle is hands down, best bang for buck!
