Default Weatherby 307?

I was looking around Weatherbys website and noticed this new model of rifle. Was curious as to what everyone else thought of it

It looks like yet another 700 clone, so the same advantages and disadvantages, as the other 700 clones.

nice looking gun i think. they also released a new line called the apex which hits all the right boxes. i do like the adjustable cheek riser on the 307 tho

I am thinking they might end up dropping the Vanguard line if sales are good.

Not sure if I was in charge I'd ever drop the vanguard line. It is a success story any way you measure it ..... quality at a mid-entry level price point, accuracy out of the box, excellent reputation, etc...

The 307 looks pretty cool though .....

Just another .308, see 340 Weatherby. :lol It's all about marketing,

They seem to be wanting to bring manufacturing back in house. I hope they expand the chamberings and add a 270 and 7mm Wby.

I've seen a few Apexs. Haven't had a chance to hold them yet. They look pretty interesting till you see the price tag in comparison to the accumark.
The thin I noticed with the 307 was the lack of 0.308+ caliber chamberings
