Back in the summer of 2020, Weatherby teamed up with the MeatEater outdoor media company and released a special edition Vanguard rifle. Well, the two companies continue their cooperation and Weatherby has announced another joint project, this time based on their newest Model 307 bolt action rifle. Let’s take a closer look at the Weatherby Model 307 MeatEater edition rifle.

Our relationship with the MeatEater team has continued to grow over the last several years resulting in our newest collaboration: The Weatherby Model 307 MeatEater Rifle. Built on our newest action, we believe this project combines Weatherby’s longstanding commitment toward building quality firearms with features and design elements coming from the incredibly creative MeatEater team in Bozeman, Montana. From the cartridge offerings down to the color of the bolt knob, every detail has been rigorously selected to offer our customers a feature rich firearm with aesthetics that rival many custom rifles found today. Proudly built in Sheridan, Wyoming, the Model 307 MeatEater rifle is a product that I am proud to say bears the Weatherby name. – Adam Weatherby
