Weatherby 307 - Absolute Garbage or The Finest Rifle on Earth???

In this episode of the HuntLeague Hunting Rifle Build Series, we dive into a real-world rifle setup challenge with Aaron Peterman’s Weatherby 307 chambered in 7PRC—his go-to elk hunting rifle. When I bumped into Aaron at the range, he was burning through ammo chasing his zero, unsure if the problem was the rifle, the ammo, or the setup. After a closer look, three issues jumped out immediately: -Comb height & cheek weld weren’t consistent -Eye relief was forcing him to crane forward -A loose swivel-stud bipod wasn’t helping stability Digging deeper, we discovered the scope had been mounted at a local shop—but the base rail wasn’t torqued properly, with two loose screws causing play. That one mistake cost Aaron several boxes of premium ammo and weeks of frustration. Together, we tore the rifle down, rebuilt it from the ground up, leveled the action and reticle, fixed the comb height and eye relief, and made sure everything was torqued to spec. The result? A rifle that finally fits Aaron like a glove—and is ready to deliver the accuracy he’ll need for his elk hunt. 💡 Key takeaways from this video: -Why you should double-check even “professional” scope mounts -The importance of proper cheek weld and eye relief -How small details like loose screws can wreck accuracy and confidence -Why learning to do your own rifle setup work is worth the time and tools And on a personal note—this video reminded me of my first exposure to Weatherby rifles as a 16-year-old. A friend of my dad’s once told me, “Weatherby makes the finest rifles on earth,” as he handed me a .30-06 for my very first hunt. That moment stuck with me, and it was exciting to finally get behind a Weatherby again and put it to the test. 👉 If you’re building out your own hunting rifle, I’d encourage you to watch the earlier videos in this series—like my process for mounting a rifle scope and using a laser bore sighter. Each one builds toward helping you create a rifle system you can trust when it matters most. 📲 Download the HuntLeague app to log your hunts, share your stories, and connect with hunters like Aaron, Wally King (2023 HuntLeague Outdoorsman of the Year), and others in the community. #Weatherby307 #7PRC #HuntingRifleBuildSeries #ElkHunting #HuntingRifles #RifleSetup #HuntLeague #ScopeMounting #RangeFix
