While other rifles may talk the talk, this one would prefer to walk the walk. For example, there are guns that tout being SUB-MOA, but this one will guarantee it from its Vanguard action, hammer-forged barrel, and match-grade trigger. Someone might expect to pay dearly for a guarantee like that, but we’re proud to say that this is the best value at Weatherby for that degree of accuracy. When taking the Vanguard Synthetic hunting, don’t think this one has to be babied because of the precision. The Vanguard Synthetic, with a Griptonite® stock and all surfaces, is designed to repel the harshest conditions.

Pistol Pete –
Great rifle for the money, set this one up as a backup rifle. Shoots the silver box 100gr. sub MOA. Looking forward to rifle season this year to break it in.
Dale Simons –
I’ve own the green vanguard for about five years and I shoot Hornady reloaded ammunition in 22-250 and it Performs very well, can cover 4 shots with a dime at 100 yds.
Jason –
These rifles are great both in performance and value. Too bad they just aren’t available. You can get the more expensive Vanguards but the bread and butter Vanguard seems nowhere to be found. I would love to have one in 30-06 but they haven’t been listed as available in months. Don’t need or want a cerakote rifle. Just an accurate, reliable basic rifle.
