The Vanguard has been earning its keep in deer camps and elk country for decades, and the Black Hills edition might be the most field-ready version of it yet. This one is chambered in .300 Win Mag, a cartridge that has probably punched more elk tags out West than anything else, and Weatherby backs it with their sub-MOA guarantee: a three-shot group of .99 inches or less at 100 yards from a cold barrel with Weatherby factory or premium ammo. The 24 inch cold hammer forged heavy barrel wears a 1:8 twist that stabilizes the heavier, high-BC bullets folks are loading these days, and the threaded muzzle comes topped with a factory 2 inch brake that takes real bite out of magnum recoil. Spin the brake off and the threads are ready for whatever muzzle device you prefer.
The stock is where this rifle separates itself from a standard Vanguard. It is a Peak 44 Monte Carlo synthetic, hand-painted in Sheridan, Wyoming with a black, green, and tan sponge finish that looks sharp and shrugs off weather. The raised comb lines your eye up naturally behind a scope, and Peak 44 hardware comes installed from the factory: a Picatinny rail on the receiver for your optic and an Arca/Pic adapter on the fore-end for bipods, tripods, or a sling stud setup. Very few rifles in this class show up tripod-ready.
Under the paint is the same proven barreled action the Vanguard line has been built on since 1970, a two-lug push-feed design with an integral recoil lug, an M16-style extractor, and a plunger ejector. The match-grade two-stage trigger is adjustable and breaks clean, and the three-position safety lets you cycle the bolt to unload with the safety still engaged. Capacity is 3+1 through a hinged floorplate, and the whole rifle comes in around 7.8 pounds bare, a nice middle ground between packable and steady off a rest.
For a do-it-all magnum hunting rig that is optics-ready and brake-equipped the day you bring it home, this one is tough to argue with.
Yes. Like all current Vanguard rifles, the Black Hills carries Weatherby's sub-MOA guarantee, meaning a three-shot group of .99 inches or less at 100 yards from a cold barrel when using Weatherby factory or premium ammunition. Between the cold hammer forged heavy barrel and the two-stage trigger, this one has the ingredients to deliver on that promise.
You can. The brake threads onto the barrel from the factory, so it spins off and leaves you with a standard threaded muzzle for whatever device you want to run instead. Just keep in mind you will likely see a point of impact shift when you change muzzle devices, so re-zero afterward.
Pretty much. It ships with a Peak 44 Picatinny rail mounted on the receiver, so all you need are rings and your optic. The fore-end also has a Peak 44 Arca/Pic adapter, which lets you clamp straight into Arca tripod heads or attach Picatinny-mount bipods without buying extra hardware.
No, this Vanguard feeds from an internal magazine with a hinged floorplate, holding 3 rounds of .300 Win Mag plus one in the chamber. Many hunters prefer this setup in the field since there is no box magazine to lose or rattle, and the floorplate drops open for quick, safe unloading.
