It’s also a great option for tight quarters inside hunting blinds or the perfect gun to take on a coyote hunt. The Compact Hunter comes with a threaded barrel that is ready for a suppressor or the included recoil reducing muzzle break.

Very accurate. Shoots factory barnes 120 grain tipped tsx 7mm-08 very well. My son is 10 yrs old and 70 lbs. He carried this rifle 4-5 miles each day on a two day hunt last month and shot his first deer. Very nice mule deer at about 170 yds. Suppressor made this rifle even more kid friendly.

This is a fantastic rifle for youth shooters. I recently snagged one in 243 for my boy to start deer hunting. Had it out to the range for the first time last week and the rifle performed flawlessly. He shot it with the included muzzle brake which make it very comfortable for him and he really enjoyed shooting it and shot it very well thanks to the low recoil, short length of pull, excellent trigger, and smooth feeding action. One other thing that was impressive is the traditional weatherby style Monte Carlo comb. For a small kid trying to get a good cheek weld and correct sight picture that feature was priceless. I have traditionally had to build up the stock on all his other rifles to accommodate him but not with the weatherby. As an added bonus I was able to shoot the rifle myself although short for me still rather comfortably and it’s a shooter! Very accurate little rifle. I looked at several options and finally came up with the vanguard compact and glad I did. Nobody else offers these features so well thought out for youth shooters. And as a side note the stock looks awesome in person! Got my boy super pumped to shoot it! Great rifle and I would highly recommend it!
