Weatherby 3WAST7MMPR4B 7mm PRC 22 2 Alpine rifle Bolt-Action Rifle

The Weatherby 3WAST7MMPR4B 7mm PRC 22 2 Alpine rifle is a precision bolt-action platform engineered for long-range hunting and tactical applications where velocity, accuracy, and reliability are non-negotiable. Built for shooters who demand sub-MOA performance at extended distances, this rifle fills the gap between standard magnum cartridges and purpose-built precision systems. Law enforcement and military precision rifle teams, as well as competitive long-range hunters, have gravitated toward the 7mm PRC cartridge for its superior ballistic coefficient and minimal drop at 1,000+ yards.

The Alpine 22-inch barrel configuration balances velocity retention with a lightweight profile—a critical design choice for field hunters who traverse rough terrain. At 9.3 lbs total weight, this rifle remains maneuverable in mountainous environments while maintaining the barrel stiffness necessary for consistent group work. The 7mm PRC chambering delivers high-velocity, heavy-for-caliber projectiles with superior sectional density, resulting in flat trajectories and retained energy essential for ethical long-range terminal performance. Weatherby's proven bolt metallurgy and action design ensure reliable feeding, extraction, and consistent primer ignition across temperature extremes and demanding field conditions.

This rifle serves precision hunters, designated marksman teams, and tactical shooters who require sub-2,000-yard capability without the logistics burden of .338 Lapua or larger magnums. The compact Alpine platform integrates seamlessly with modern optic mounts and suppressor-ready threaded barrels for those running sound mitigation in field operations. Shooters transitioning from .300 Win Mag will appreciate the tighter ballistic envelope and superior wind-bucking performance, while recoil remains manageable enough for follow-up shots or sustained marksmanship practice. This is a firearms transfer and requires valid FFL licensure and compliance with federal and state regulations.
