Description

SPECIFICATIONS

A custom rifle feel, without the custom price

Through years of innovation and testing, the Model 307 action features a bolt that was designed to have a tool-less disassembly which allows hunters and shooters to easily field strip their bolt if needed. The bolt is equipped with a M16-style extractor for positive extraction and reliable ejection. The MeatEater rifle comes standard with an externally adjustable TriggerTech Field trigger and a Magpul removable magazine. 

The Model 307 MeatEater features a lightweight vertical grip stock that includes an adjustable cheekpiece and adjustable length of pull providing a custom fit for the shooter. Touch points are textured for a nonslip grip and dual front swivel studs allow for multiple accessories.

Available in short and long actions, the MeatEater rifle not only offers some of Weatherby’s historic magnum cartridges but is available in a wide range of the most popular cartridges on the market today.

The MeatEater rifle is compatible with many after-market 700® platform parts, making it the most open platform in the Weatherby line-up. With an upgraded adjustable stock, trigger, bolt, fluted barrel, and Accubrake, the MeatEater edition brings a custom rifle feel, without the custom price. The MeatEater rifle is proudly built at Weatherby’s headquarters in Sheridan, WY.

Our relationship with the MeatEater team has continued to grow over the last several years resulting in our newest collaboration: The Weatherby Model 307 MeatEater Rifle. Built on our newest action, we believe this project combines Weatherby’s longstanding commitment toward building quality firearms with features and design elements coming from the incredibly creative MeatEater team in Bozeman, Montana. From the cartridge offerings down to the color of the bolt knob, every detail has been rigorously selected to offer our customers a feature rich firearm with aesthetics that rival many custom rifles found today. Proudly built in Sheridan, Wyoming, the Model 307 MeatEater rifle is a product that I am proud to say bears the Weatherby name. - Adam Weatherby

  1. Paul K

    Originally, I was looking at a Christensen Arms rifle in Ridgeline FFT in 7PRC. Then, I noticed on FaceBook and YouTube all of the complaints and problems that owners’ were having. Then, I began looking at other options. I found the Weatherby Model 307 Meateater Edition. Nothing but great things were said about this rifle. I ordered one from Sportsmans Warehouse. I mounted a Vortex scope on it. I was extremely impressed with the quality, functioning, and accuracy of this rifle. I would highly recommend this rifle in any of the available calibers. Awesome job Weatherby!

  2. Eric Chmelarsky

    Have the meateater model in 7mm PRC.
    Comes with a Peak base, which is proprietary to the Model 307, cost you $100 bucks, if purchased separately, if you can find one. So buy the meateater Model. Only ammo I had is Hornady Precision Hunter. Doing my barrel break-in procedure, averaged 1.75″ @100 yards, remember this is cleaning the barrel between shots for 20 rounds. The 280 Ackley being broken in and fouled, ran the hammer bullets into a neat cluster of 5/8″ @100. Adjustable Triggertech trigger, muzzle brake, adjustable comb, 26″ barrel gets you the most velocity, 1-8 twist, made in U.S.A. by Weatherby!
    It’s all good my friends!

  4. Richard (verified owner)

    I recently bought a weatherby 307 chambered in 7mm prc the accuracy, comfortability, and action are amazing in my opinion the only thing I have a problem with is the mag it is for a 300 wm and is a little to long for the 7prc and every couple of shots I have to reseat the mag into the rifle because it falls out.

  6. Wayne Manson

    What a great idea, can’t wait to get mine!

  7. Andrew

    I recently purchased a Meateater 307 in 7mm PRC. First off, the thing will shoot. Awesome accuracy straight out of the box (1/2″ groups all day). The stock feels really nice, the action is buttery smooth, the trigger is excellent, and did I mention accuracy. I couldn’t be more pleased with this rifle, and hopefully will be adding more to the collection! I have already downed a nice western WA blacktail with it and hope to put much more meat in the freezer with this rifle. Big thanks to the Weatherby team for yet another incredible addition!!
