The Vanguard line has been Weatherby's workhorse for decades, and the Obsidian is the blacked-out version of that proven formula. Every one of these rifles is backed by Weatherby's Sub-MOA guarantee, meaning it will put three shots into .99 inches or less at 100 yards from a cold barrel with quality factory ammo. That kind of promise used to be reserved for rifles costing a lot more, and it starts with the cold hammer-forged 22 inch barrel and a one-piece machined receiver with an integral recoil lug.
Chambered in 6.5 Creedmoor, this rifle is a natural fit for whitetail, mule deer, antelope, and steel out past where most folks bother to shoot. The mild recoil of the Creedmoor pairs nicely with the Vanguard action, and the muzzle comes threaded so you can spin on a suppressor or brake without a trip to the gunsmith. The two-stage match trigger is user adjustable down to around 2.5 pounds and breaks clean, which makes a real difference when you are squeezing off a shot at distance. A three-position safety lets you cycle the bolt to unload with the safety still engaged, and the M16-style extractor keeps cases coming out smoothly shot after shot.
The matte black Monte Carlo synthetic stock shrugs off rain, snow, and banging around in a truck bed, and the raised comb lines your eye up naturally behind a scope. A recoil pad and hinged floorplate keep things practical in the field, with a 4+1 capacity on tap. There are no iron sights on this one, and the receiver is drilled and tapped, so plan on mounting glass. Slap on a solid scope, zero it, and you have a rifle that will hold up for seasons of hard use without babying. For a do-it-all bolt gun in one of the most versatile hunting cartridges going, the Vanguard Obsidian is tough to argue with.
No, this rifle ships without any sights. The receiver comes drilled and tapped from the factory, so you can mount your choice of bases, rings, and optic. Most owners pair it with a hunting scope in the 3-9x or 4-12x range for deer-sized game.
Yes, the 22 inch 6.5 Creedmoor model comes with a threaded muzzle in a 1/2×28 pattern. That lets you add a suppressor or muzzle brake without any gunsmithing. It is a nice touch on a hunting rifle at this level.
Weatherby backs every Vanguard with a Sub-MOA guarantee, meaning a 3-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 do the heavy lifting there. With good handloads or match-grade factory ammo, many of these rifles shoot even tighter.
No, this model feeds from an internal magazine with a hinged floorplate, giving you 4+1 total capacity in 6.5 Creedmoor. The floorplate makes unloading quick and safe without cycling rounds through the action. Many hunters prefer this setup since there is no magazine to lose in the field.
