2 reviews for Vanguard® Obsidian

  1. Marvin Scott Turner –

    After shopping for several months I decided upon a Weatherby Vanguard Obsidian in .22-250 for my new rifle. It is outstanding in every way! Far more accurate than I am capable of and very comfortable to shoot. I was so pleased I bought another Vanguard Obsidian in .308 Win. It has only reinforced my positive feelings for the Weatherby Vanguard line. I may purchase a .25-06 in the next few months – if I do it will be a Weatherby Vanguard Obsidian.

  2. James Webster –

    I purchased the Obsidian in 6.5 Creedmoor. Sub MOA is an understatement I was getting .03-0.6 MOA using Hornady 129 Grain Whitetail hunter and Hornady 143 Grain ELD-X This firearm is an awesome gun for any hunter or shooter out there. The grips on the stock make rifle feel great Smooth bolt and the trigger is the best on the market for a factory trigger. Plus I added the optional muzzle brake though Weatherby. This is the best rifle on the market when it comes to economical guns..
