About the Weatherby Vanguard
The Vanguard is Weatherby's production bolt action built by Howa in Japan to Weatherby's specification, and it ships with a factory accuracy guarantee that reflects the company's confidence in the barreled action. Chamberings run through the classic hunting spread, including .243 Winchester, .270, .308, and .30-06, and the two-lug push-feed action cycles smoothly with a short bolt lift. The synthetic stock free-floats the barrel, a recoil pad manages field loads, and weight near seven and a half pounds steadies offhand shots without fatiguing the shooter on a long carry.
