Overview

All Weatherby® rifles are guaranteed to shoot a 1 1/2" or better 3-shot group at 100 yards from a cold barrel when used with premium (non-Weatherby calibers) or Weatherby factory ammunition. Together, the Weatherby system (premium ammunition and rifle) forms the flattest shooting, hardest hitting, most accurate combination in the industry today.

All Weatherby® Vanguard® rifles come with a letter of assurance written by President Ed Weatherby, supporting the written accuracy guarantee. All SUB-MOA models include a factory-shot electronic target profiling a 3-shot group from that specific rifle.

Performance

Cocking Indicator — Allows you to instantly see whether rifle is cocked or uncocked. An important safety feature.

Fully Enclosed Bolt Sleeve — Completely enshrouds rear of action to redirect high-pressure gases and brass particles in the event of a case rupture.

Three Rings of Steel — The cartridge casehead is surrounded by the recessed bolt face, which is surrounded by the barrel, which is surrounded by the machined steel receiver. Creates an extra measure of strength and structural integrity.

Cold Hammer Forged 24" Barrel — Maximizes velocity and produces a guaranteed 1 1/2" OR BETTER 3-shot group at 100 yards when used with premium (non-Weatherby calibers) or Weatherby factory ammunition. 20" and 22" barrels available on some models.

Integral Recoil Lug — One-piece machined receiver features integral recoil lug for the utmost in strength and structural integrity.

Monte Carlo Stock — Injection-molded composite delivers superior accuracy and durability. Monte Carlo design with raised comb is cast off to allow for quicker eye-to-scope alignment and faster target acquisition, while reducing felt recoil. Dual tapered forearm (back and upward) provides better grip and control under recoil and is flat-bottomed for a steady, stable rest. Low-density recoil pad greatly increases shock absorption and reducing felt recoil.

One-piece Forged Bolt — Provides maximum strength and structural integrity. Knurled bolt knob adds to the functionality and value.

Fluted Bolt Body — Features three gas ports to allow high-pressure gases to escape laterally in the event of an accidental case rupture. Longitudinal flutes reduce weight and bearing surface area, while minimizing binding for smooth action.

Factory-Tuned, Fully Adjustable Trigger — Our newly enhanced trigger system is fully adjustable for sear engagement and is factory set between .008 to .014. Let-off weight is factory set between 2.5 and 3.8 lbs. – averaging 3.15 lbs. Sears and triggers are hand-honed to provide an ultra-smooth surface to eliminate trigger creep. Each trigger is manually inspected and tuned to assure a clean, crisp trigger that will break precisely, improving shooter accuracy. (Additional sear engagement adjustments must be performed by a Weatherby Service Center or qualified gunsmith). A special grooved trigger shoe surface provides better “feel” and control.

Hinged Floorplate — One-piece bottom metal and hinged floorplate provides easy access to unfired cartridges in the magazine. Constructed of steel and lightweight alloy.
