Features & Performance

The WEATHERBY VANGUARD is built around a precision philosophy: every rifle is guaranteed to shoot a three-shot group of .99″ or less at 100 yards SUBMOA from a cold barrel when used with Weatherby factory or premium ammunition. That spec drives selection for shooters seeking dependable, tight groups without chasing unrealistic claims.

Trigger and Safety

The Vanguard ships with a match-quality two-stage trigger adjustable down to 2.5 lbs., giving a clean, predictable break. A three-position safety includes a middle position that allows the shooter to cycle the action while keeping the safety engaged—valuable for safe loading and unloading in field and range environments.

Action, Extraction, and Durability

The action is a one-piece machined bolt body fluted to reduce weight and bearing surface area while minimizing binding for a smooth, fast bolt throw. Three lateral gas ports are built into the design to vent high-pressure gases in the unlikely event of a case rupture, and the massive M16-style extractor ensures positive extraction under adverse conditions.

Receiver and Magazine

A one-piece machined receiver with an integral recoil lug provides structural integrity and strength. The one-piece trigger guard incorporates a hinged floorplate for easy access to unfired cartridges in the magazine—practical for hunters and those who appreciate streamlined logistics in the field.

At a street price of $779.99, the WEATHERBY VANGUARD represents a balance of precision engineering and value for shooters who want a SUBMOA-capable platform without premium optics or aftermarket modifications. View product details and pricing to confirm current availability and options.
