Description
When covering distances deep in the heart of big game country, the last thing a hunter needs is heavy gear bogging them down. With a light hand-laid fiberglass stock and weight-shaving flutes on my barrel, the Wilderness comes in at a scant 6.75 pounds. The barrel is 24 inches of rifled precision that goes SUB-MOA without batting an eye. So despite the lighter frame, there is confidence of the Vanguard’s heavyweight impact when it’s time to drop that trophy.

Reinhardt –
I got this rifle in 30-06. I decided on it for weight and the accuracy guarantee. I am not disappointed in either. Fit and finish is pretty good. The stock touches the barrel on one side, but doesn’t seem to affect accuracy. The stock is glass bedded at the recoil lug and has a chassis, not pillars. The flutes are deep enough to actually shave weight. This rifle pulls up nice, and is amazingly light. The trigger breaks very clean. Overall I am very happy with this rifle. Can’t wait for deer season in Wisconsin.
