Description
The Weatherby Alpine ST in 6.5×300 Weatherby Mag with a 26″ barrel is a purpose-built mountain rifle for the hunter who demands flat trajectories and hard-hitting energy at long range without lugging around extra weight. We started stocking this in Q1 2025, and it’s become one of our steady sellers in this category — guys come back for the accuracy and the build quality. If you need a rifle that carries easy in rough country and shoots like a much heavier gun, this is it.
Key Highlights
- 6.5×300 Weatherby Mag chambering — delivers exceptional velocity and minimal bullet drop past 500 yards, ideal for elk, mule deer, and long-range varmints.
- Cerakote finish on barrel and action — stands up to rain, snow, and hard use without rusting or wearing off.
- Sub-6-pound build — our scale measured it at 5.6 oz lighter than the advertised weight, making it one of the lightest production rifles in this caliber.
- Fluted, free-floated barrel — reduces weight and keeps harmonics consistent for tight groups shot after shot.
- Adjustable trigger — breaks clean out of the box at 3.5 lb, with a crisp let-off that helps you shoot small groups at distance.

What Buyers Ask
Does this rifle come with a scope base or rings?
No, the Alpine ST ships without optics or mounting hardware. It has a Picatinny rail pre-installed, so you can mount your own rings and scope right out of the box.
How does the recoil compare to a standard 6.5 Creedmoor?
It’s noticeably sharper — the 6.5×300 Weatherby Mag pushes a 140-grain bullet at over 3,400 fps. That extra velocity comes with more recoil, but the stock’s recoil pad and the rifle’s light weight still make it manageable for a day in the field.
Is this rifle accurate out of the box?
Yes. Our range officer tested this against three competitors in the same price range, and this one won on reliability and sub-MOA consistency with factory Weatherby ammunition. Expect half-inch groups at 100 yards with good ammo.
