Mom is a Vanguard, and Dad’s a Mark V Accumark. So I don’t want to brag, but I’ll shoot head-to-head against other rifles and bury them. With my Accumark DNA I’ll go SUB-MOA with premium ammunition. Guaranteed.

I was born in the backlands. Flatlands bore me. Give me mountains. Put me to the test on rugged ridges. Trust me in the harshest environments on planet earth. Hunting that country is what I live for – just like you.
NO LONGER IN PRODUCTIONThere is no finer place on earth than hunting camp. I live for the smell of coffee in the pre-dawn darkness. Delight at the sight of fresh tracking snow outside. Drink up my friend, grab that pre-loaded drop box magazine and let’s get out into the wilderness.

Purchased my combo from Bud’s Gun Shop online. It arrived two weeks prior to Missouri deer season. Sighted it in the first weekend, and took it hunting on opening day. Dropped a buck in its tracks with a single shot. Brought home 83 lbs of prime corn-fed venison. My thanks to the good folks at Weatherby! I will be buying my three sons each a Vanguard for Christmas!!!

I bought my Vanguard 7mm from Cargill’s gunshop in Conroe, Texas in 1971 or 72. I installed the Leupold 3×9 Vari X 2 scope for hunting in east Texas. I had previously used a British 303 Military surplus, shooting 180 gr. ammo. My first 100 yd shot group of 3 shots could be placed inside a single nickle circle. Man, I was estatic!!! I’ve hunted with it since 1972 and absolutely love it even today !!!! I’ve tried firing other 7mm Magnums & they “kicked my shoulder off”, so to speak !!!! Thank you Weatherby for a Great Weapon for a lifetime use !!!!!

I have the package in .308 and over the past few seasons in the Pennsylvania woods it has proven to be a 100% reliable deer slayer. I have made 1 shot kills ranging from 50 to 150 yards. Can you fall in love with a gun?

Beautiful to use, enough kick to the stock where it doesn’t hurt. I prefer the Beanfield rifle myself but i would more than welcome this gun into the family.

I purchased this rifle on sale with low expectations and I’ll be darned if it’s not my go to rifle now, far and away better then my Rugers, Remington’s and Savages that we’re more expensive. It’s not that pretty with a grey stock, it’s very utilitarian, exactly how you want a hunting rifle to be so you don’t cry when it gets scratched, and boy does it shoot! I wish I could upload some target pictures.

The .257 just hammers ’em, 1 shot drops .. incredible trigger out of the box, fit & finish is sharp & clean, seems indestructible .. my new go-to gun.

I bought this package in 7mm Rem Mag and could not be happier! I have wanted a Weatherby all my life and this one is absolutely perfect. With this weapon I can hunt all the game native to me here in the PacNW, my “one gun”. And it was perfectly sighted in right out of the box, thank you Weatherby gunsmiths for boresighting in the scope. The trigger is the best part, so crisp, and the bolt action is low and smooth and the Monte Carlo stock gives me perfect spot weld and eye relief every time and btw the eye relief distance on this scope is perfect, about 4 inches depending on zoom, so even with a magnum you won’t get an eyebrow scar. I will definitely be buying another Weatherby, or two!

Bought my Vangaurd .223 second hand. Outstanding accuracy and overall fit and finish is A grade. Sub MOA with factory ammo and handloads. Bravo Weatherby for this masterpiece that was gentle to the wallet.

Did a Montana elk/mule deer hunt by horse back into the back country. On the 12 mile ride out my horse lost its footing and rolled over with my rifle in the scabbard and worried that the gun and site might be damaged. During the opener the gun and site held up and took a bull elk down at 220 yards.
