Weatherby Alpine ST 6.5 PRC 22 2+1 Bolt-Action Rifle

The Weatherby Alpine ST 6.5 PRC 22 2+1 bolt-action rifle represents a precision-engineered platform purpose-built for long-range hunters and tactical marksmen who demand sub-MOA accuracy across extended distances. This rifle bridges the gap between hunting ergonomics and tactical performance, delivering the flat trajectory and energy retention required for professional and recreational precision shooting. The Alpine ST platform is favored by shooters who prioritize portability without sacrificing downrange lethality or reliability in field conditions.

Weatherby engineered the Alpine ST with a 22-inch barrel chambered in 6.5 PRC (Precision Rifle Cartridge), a modern magnum that delivers superior ballistics over comparable cartridges while maintaining controllable recoil and faster target acquisition than larger magnums. The 2+1 magazine configuration (two rounds in magazine, one in chamber) ensures rapid follow-up shots while maintaining a compact profile ideal for rough terrain and vehicle operations. At 8 pounds unloaded, this rifle achieves an optimal weight-to-firepower ratio that minimizes shooter fatigue during extended field operations while providing sufficient mass for recoil management and accuracy. The bolt-action mechanism guarantees absolute reliability, manual safety control, and the inherent accuracy advantages of the push-feed design under variable environmental conditions.

Law enforcement tactical units, precision hunters, and civilian marksmen benefit most from the Alpine ST's 49-inch overall length and manageable dimensions (6.5 x 2.8 inches), which facilitate transport in vehicles, aircraft, and tight tactical entry points while maintaining a shooter-friendly handling profile. The rifle accepts industry-standard Picatinny accessories and optic mounts, allowing integration with modern glass, ballistic computers, and thermal imaging systems. Operators should verify local compliance and FFL requirements before purchase, as this firearm is subject to federal regulations and state-specific licensing prerequisites. The Alpine ST pairs seamlessly with quality precision ammunition and premium optics to achieve its full potential in competitive match environments or professional applications.
