Weatherby 3WACT280AR4B 24" Alpine CT Bolt-Action Rifle

The Weatherby 3WACT280AR4B 24" Alpine CT Bolt-Action Rifle is purpose-built for precision shooters and hunters who demand accuracy across variable terrain and weather conditions. Engineered as a lightweight, portable rifle platform, the Alpine CT delivers the ballistic performance of the .280 Ackley Improved cartridge in a compact 24-inch barrel configuration, making it ideal for mountain hunting, long-range target shooting, and field applications where weight and portability matter. This rifle bridges the gap between tactical precision and backcountry mobility—a proven combination trusted by professional guides and serious sport shooters.

At 10.25 lbs unloaded, the Weatherby Alpine CT uses modern materials and a bolt-action design optimized for reliability and shot-to-shot consistency. The .280 Ackley Improved cartridge delivers high-velocity performance with controlled recoil, producing flatter trajectories and retained energy suitable for medium to long-range shots. The 24-inch barrel balances velocity retention with handling ease, while the bolt-action mechanism ensures positive feed reliability and the repeatability required for precision work. Alpine-grade construction—lighter alloys and corrosion-resistant finishing—addresses the demands of alpine and variable-weather environments without sacrificing durability.

This rifle platform is ideal for hunters seeking backcountry-capable rifles, precision sport shooters pursuing extended-range accuracy, and tactical marksmen who value weight reduction without performance compromise. The compact overall profile and controlled recoil signature make it suitable for extended field sessions and one-shot-one-kill hunting applications. Ammunition selection for .280 Ackley Improved is readily available through quality manufacturers, ensuring consistent supply and ballistic data for load development and field performance validation.
