Weatherby's Vanguard Weatherguard delivers rugged reliability in harsh conditions with a stainless steel receiver, synthetic stock, and hammer-forged barrel. Sub-MOA accuracy guaranteed.
The Vanguard Weatherguard represents Weatherby's commitment to creating a rifle that performs flawlessly in the harshest environments. This is a rifle designed for the hunter who refuses to let weather, terrain, or circumstance dictate when and where he can hunt.
Receiver and Metalwork: The one-piece forged and machined receiver features an integral recoil lug for maximum strength and structural integrity. All metal surfaces are protected with a durable Cerakote finish that resists corrosion and wear. The stainless steel construction provides additional protection against the elements.
Barrel: The hammer-forged barrel is 26 inches long with a threaded muzzle, allowing for suppressor or muzzle device installation. This manufacturing process creates a stronger, more accurate barrel than conventional methods.
Weatherby backs this rifle with a Sub-MOA accuracy guarantee—meaning it will consistently group within one minute of angle at 100 yards. The crisp two-stage trigger breaks cleanly and predictably, supporting precision shooting.
The M-16 style extractor ensures reliable case ejection in all conditions, while the one-piece trigger guard with hinged floorplate provides convenient magazine access.
The Monte Carlo synthetic stock is constructed from ultra-tough material that resists warping, swelling, and shrinking caused by moisture and temperature changes. The specially-fit, low-density recoil pad manages recoil impulse while remaining lightweight. This stock provides the durability and performance you need year after year.
The Vanguard Weatherguard is purpose-built for serious hunters who demand a rifle that performs when conditions are worst.
