Weatherby named this rifle after the rugged Black Hills country, and the build backs up the name. At its core is the proven Vanguard action, a two-lug push feed design that hunters have trusted for decades, mated to a cold hammer forged 24 inch barrel chambered in 6.5 PRC. That pairing is good enough that Weatherby guarantees sub-MOA performance, a three shot group of .99 inches or better at 100 yards from a cold barrel with quality factory ammo. The 1:8 twist stabilizes the long, high BC bullets that make 6.5 PRC such a flat shooting, wind cheating cartridge for open country deer, antelope, and elk.
The Black Hills edition earns its keep with the extras. Peak 44 supplies the Monte Carlo polymer stock, finished in black with hand sponged green and tan accents, plus an optics ready Picatinny rail up top and an Arca/Pic adapter on the forend. That bottom rail is a genuinely useful touch, letting you clamp a bipod or tripod head straight to the rifle without hunting down aftermarket hardware. The muzzle comes threaded 1/2×28 with Weatherby's Accubrake installed, which takes real bite out of recoil at the bench, and spinning it off for a suppressor is quick work.
The match grade two-stage trigger breaks clean and adjusts down to 2.5 pounds, which is a big part of why these rifles group the way they do. A three position safety lets you cycle the bolt to unload with the safety still engaged, and the hinged floorplate holds 3+1 in the magnum sized magazine well. At 7.8 pounds bare, it carries reasonably for a rifle with this much barrel and rides steady on a rest.
All you need is glass and rings, since the Picatinny rail comes installed from the factory. Pair it with a quality 3-15 or 4-16 scope and this setup is built for shots that stretch well past where most hunting rifles get uncomfortable.
It does. Weatherby guarantees a three shot group of .99 inches or less at 100 yards from a cold barrel when using Weatherby factory or premium ammunition. The cold hammer forged barrel and two-stage match trigger are the main reasons the rifle can hold up its end of that promise.
Yes, the muzzle is threaded 1/2×28 and the included Accubrake simply spins off so you can mount a can directly. If you prefer shooting without either, a thread protector is a cheap add-on. The brake does a nice job cutting felt recoil if you want to keep it on for range days.
No, this model feeds from an internal magazine with a hinged floorplate holding 3 rounds plus one in the chamber. The floorplate drops open for fast, safe unloading without cycling rounds through the action. It is a simple, proven setup that keeps the rifle's belly slick for carrying.
Just a scope and a set of rings, since the Peak 44 Picatinny rail comes mounted from the factory. The Arca/Pic adapter on the forend also accepts most modern bipods and tripod clamps without extra hardware. Sight it in with quality factory ammo and you are set for the season.
