Weatherby built its name on accuracy, and the Vanguard Obsidian carries that reputation without the premium rifle price tag. Every Vanguard is backed by Weatherby's sub-MOA guarantee, meaning it will put three shots inside .99 inches at 100 yards from a cold barrel with quality ammo. Chambered here in .30-06 Springfield, one of the most proven big game cartridges ever loaded, this rifle covers everything from whitetail in the hardwoods to elk out west with the huge selection of factory ammunition the old '06 enjoys.
The 22-inch cold hammer forged barrel wears a #2 contour and comes threaded 1/2×28 from the factory, so adding a suppressor or muzzle brake takes minutes instead of a trip to a gunsmith. A 1:10 twist stabilizes the full range of .30 caliber bullet weights, from light varmint loads up to heavy 200-plus grain hunting bullets. The two-stage match-grade trigger is adjustable and breaks clean, which is a big part of why these rifles shoot so well right out of the box. Up top, the blued steel receiver comes drilled and tapped for scope bases, and the action features an M16-style extractor along with a fully shrouded bolt with gas ports for added peace of mind.
The all-black Obsidian treatment pairs a blued barreled action with a black polymer Monte Carlo stock that shrugs off rain, snow, and rough truck rides. The raised comb lines your eye up naturally behind a scope, and the whole package balances nicely at around 7.4 pounds bare. A three-position safety lets you cycle the bolt to load and unload with the trigger blocked, and the hinged floorplate makes emptying the five-round internal magazine quick and simple.
This is the kind of rifle that gets handed down. Weatherby has been building Vanguards with the same trusted manufacturing partner for over 50 years, and the track record speaks for itself. Pair it with a solid scope and your favorite .30-06 load, and this one is ready for opening day.
Yes, Weatherby backs every Vanguard with a written sub-MOA guarantee: a three-shot group of .99 inches or less at 100 yards from a cold barrel using Weatherby factory or premium ammunition. The cold hammer forged barrel and adjustable two-stage match trigger are the big reasons these rifles consistently deliver on that promise.
It is. The 22-inch barrel comes threaded 1/2×28 from the factory with a thread protector, so you can spin on a suppressor or muzzle brake without any gunsmithing. The 1:10 twist also handles the heavier .30 caliber bullets that pair well with suppressed shooting.
No, this rifle ships without sights. The blued steel receiver is drilled and tapped for scope bases, so plan on picking up mounts and glass. Most owners run a 3-9x or 4-12x hunting scope, which suits the .30-06 well out to typical big game distances.
No, the Vanguard Obsidian in .30-06 feeds from a five-round internal magazine with a hinged floorplate. That means no magazine to lose in the field, a cleaner profile for carrying, and quick unloading by dropping the floorplate. Total capacity is 5+1 with a round chambered.
