Weatherby 3WACT653WR8B 307 ALPINE Rifle

The Weatherby 3WACT653WR8B Alpine CT chambered in 6.5-300 Weatherby Magnum with 28-inch barrel is a purpose-built precision rifle engineered for extreme long-range hunting and distance shooting applications. This rifle combines Weatherby's reputation for magnum cartridge excellence with modern ergonomics and accuracy-first design, delivering the ballistic performance demanded by hunters pursuing big game at extended ranges.

The 6.5-300 Weatherby cartridge represents one of the most powerful 6.5mm offerings on the market, delivering superior velocity and energy retention compared to standard long-range calibers. The 28-inch barrel maximizes powder burn efficiency and muzzle velocity while the integrated muzzle brake manages recoil, critical when operating a magnum rifle from field positions. Weighing 8.8 lbs, the Alpine CT maintains a practical balance between barrel length needed for long-distance ballistics and overall handling. The rifle's compact footprint—49 inches overall length—enables transportation and deployment in mountainous terrain and tight hunting blinds without sacrificing the velocity advantages of a full-length magnum setup.

This rifle serves hunters and precision shooters who operate beyond conventional hunting distances, where trajectory management and wind drift compensation demand the velocity and energy of a true magnum platform. The Alpine CT is optimal for open-country elk and mule deer hunting where shots routinely exceed 300 yards, and for precision competitors running long-range field courses where repeatability and ballistic performance separate winners from competitors. Weatherby's Alpine line represents the brand's commitment to hunters and shooters who refuse to compromise on distance capability or reliability in demanding field conditions.
