The Vanguard has earned its spot as one of the most trusted names in bolt guns, and the Obsidian is the no-frills version that keeps everything that matters. This one is chambered in .243 Winchester, a caliber that pulls double duty about as well as anything out there. It is soft enough on the shoulder for new hunters and flat enough to reach out on coyotes and pronghorn, yet it carries plenty of punch for whitetail. The 22 inch cold hammer forged barrel wears a #2 sporter contour with a 1:10 twist that stabilizes the popular 90 to 100 grain hunting bullets, and it comes threaded from the factory so adding a suppressor or muzzle brake is a five minute job.
Weatherby backs every Vanguard with a sub-MOA guarantee, meaning three shots under an inch at 100 yards with quality ammo. A big part of that comes down to the adjustable two-stage match trigger, which breaks clean and crisp right out of the box. The fluted bolt body runs smooth, and the three-position safety lets you cycle the action with the trigger still blocked, a feature a lot of hunters will not give up once they have it.
The black Monte Carlo synthetic stock shrugs off rain, snow, and truck bed abuse without swelling or shifting your zero the way wood can. The raised comb lines your eye up naturally behind a scope, and the receiver comes drilled and tapped since this rifle ships without sights. A hinged floorplate holds four rounds plus one in the chamber and makes unloading at the truck quick and painless. Swivel studs are already in place for a sling or bipod.
There is nothing flashy going on here, just a proven action, a guaranteed-accurate barrel, and a stock built for hard use. Top it with a decent 3-9x scope and this Vanguard Obsidian is ready for deer season, the prairie dog town, and everything in between for years to come.
Yes. Weatherby made threaded barrels standard on the Vanguard line starting in mid 2024, and this model ships with a thread protector installed. That means you can mount a suppressor or muzzle brake without a trip to a gunsmith, or leave the cap on and run it bare.
No, this rifle ships without iron sights or an optic. The receiver comes drilled and tapped from the factory, so you just need bases and rings for whatever scope you choose. The raised Monte Carlo comb on the stock is shaped to give you solid cheek weld behind a scope.
Weatherby backs every Vanguard with a sub-MOA guarantee, meaning a three-shot group under an inch at 100 yards using premium factory ammo. The cold hammer forged barrel and adjustable two-stage match trigger do most of the heavy lifting there. Plenty of owners report tightening groups further once they find the load their barrel likes.
It is one of the most popular picks for exactly that. Recoil is mild enough that new and smaller-framed hunters can practice comfortably, which builds better shooting habits than flinching through a magnum. With 90 to 100 grain bullets it handles deer-sized game cleanly, and lighter loads make it a capable varmint and predator rifle in the off season.
