Paso Robles, Calif.—Weatherby Inc., legendary firearms manufacturer, is honored to introduce the Vanguard® WeatherguardTM line of rifles, one of the latest iterations of the Vanguard® series that debuted in the early 1970s. Since that time, Vanguard® rifles have redefined the level of performance that’s attainable from a production hunting rifle —especially budget-friendly models. With its new WeatherguardTM rifles, the company combines the best attributes of the Vanguard® with features deemed nonnegotiable by dedicated hunters and shooters.
The Vanguard® WeatherguardTM rifles are accompanied with an accuracy guarantee; when using premium ammunition, they will produce a three-shot group measuring 0.99-inch or less at 100 yds. from a cold barrel. All the metalwork is protected with Tactical Grey Cerakote®, for exceptional weather and corrosion resistance.
The heart of the WeatherguardTM rifles, the renowned Vanguard® action, is affixed to an injection molded Monte Carlo Griptonite® stock that features pistol grip and forend inserts and a right side palm swell that aids in shooter comfort and control.
As with other Vanguard rifles, the WeatherguardTMrifles are equipped with a match-quality, two-stage trigger that’s user adjustable pull weight. It also has the familiar three-position safety and fluted bolt with dual-opposed locking lugs of its siblings.
The WeatherguardTM rifles are offered in four different configurations;
The WeatherguardTM and WeatherguardTM DBM (Drop-Box Magazine), featuring a 24 inch, #2 contour barrel.
The WeatherguardTM H-Bar which features a 22 inch, #3 contour, heavy barrel (.740 muzzle diameter).
The WeatherguardTM Carbine features a lightweight, #1 contour, 20 inch barrel.
The Vanguard® WeatherguardTM rifle is scheduled to hit dealer’s shelves by January 1, 2016. Contact your local authorized Weatherby® dealer to order yours today.
