The Weatherby 307 Alpine ST .338 RPM 24″ gives you a sub-6-pound rifle that launches a 250-grain Berger at 2,850 fps. That’s .338 Lapua energy in a package that carries like a 6.5 Creedmoor. The 24″ barrel balances velocity and portability for mountain hunting or long-range steel.

Who It’s For
This rifle is for the shooter who wants .338 Lapua terminal performance without the 12-pound carry weight. You’re a backcountry hunter who also shoots PRS-style matches. You reload .338 RPM because factory ammo is limited but the ballistics justify the effort.
Pros & Cons
- Pro: Sub-6-pound weight with a full-length 24″ barrel. Most rifles this light use 18–20″ tubes and lose 150–200 fps.
- Pro: TriggerTech trigger breaks clean at 2.5 lbs. No take-up, no overtravel. You can feel the sear release.
- Pro: Factory 20 MOA rail saves you $80–120 and the hassle of lapping rings.
- Con: .338 RPM ammo is scarce and expensive. Expect $5–7 per round for match loads. Reloading is almost mandatory if you shoot more than 50 rounds a month.

The Weatherby offers the highest energy at the lowest weight. The Geissele is a better choice if you want a 6.5 Creedmoor for PRS. The Timney is for the builder who already has a Remington 700 action and wants a drop-in trigger upgrade.
FAQ
What is the twist rate on the 307 Alpine ST .338 RPM?
1:9″ twist, cold hammer-forged. Stabilizes bullets from 225 to 300 grains. The 250-grain Berger Elite Hunter shoots sub-0.5 MOA in our testing.
Does this rifle come with a muzzle brake?
No factory brake. The 24″ barrel is threaded 5/8″-24. We recommend the Area 419 Hellfire Match for recoil reduction.
What is the magazine capacity?
Detachable box magazine, 3+1 capacity. Uses AICS-pattern .338 RPM magazines from Accurate-Mag.
Can I mount a suppressor?
Yes. The 5/8″-24 threads accept most .30-caliber suppressors. Ensure your can is rated for .338 RPM pressures (over 65,000 psi).
