There's something about a walnut and blued steel rifle that a synthetic stock just can't replicate, and the Weatherby Vanguard Sporter leans into that all the way. The Turkish A-grade walnut Monte Carlo stock wears a satin finish with a raised comb and a rosewood forend cap, and the metalwork gets a matte bead-blasted blue that cuts glare in the field. It's the kind of rifle that draws compliments at deer camp, but the looks are only half the story.
Underneath the pretty wood is the same Vanguard action that's earned a reputation as one of the best values in bolt guns. The 22 inch barrel is cold hammer forged, and Weatherby backs every Vanguard with a sub-MOA guarantee: three shots inside .99 inches at 100 yards from a cold barrel with Weatherby factory or premium ammo. The one-piece machined bolt body is fluted and rides in a fully enclosed bolt sleeve, and the receiver features an integral recoil lug for consistency shot after shot. The barrel also comes threaded from the factory, so adding a muzzle device down the road is simple.
The two-stage match trigger is a real standout at this level. It breaks clean and adjusts down to 2.5 pounds, which makes squeezing off a careful shot on a distant buck a whole lot easier. The three-position safety gives you a middle setting that locks the trigger while still letting you cycle the bolt to unload safely, a feature hunters learn to appreciate quickly. Rounds feed from an internal magazine with a hinged floorplate, holding five in the mag plus one in the chamber.
Chambered in .30-06 Springfield, this setup covers whitetails, mule deer, elk, black bear, and hogs with ammo available on just about every gun shop shelf in the country. The receiver is drilled and tapped with no iron sights, so plan on mounting the glass of your choice. For anyone wanting a classic wood-stocked hunting rifle that still shoots like a modern one, this is a hard combination to beat.
No, this rifle ships without iron sights or optics. The receiver comes drilled and tapped from the factory, so you can mount bases and rings for the scope of your choice. Most folks pair a rifle like this with a quality 3-9x or similar hunting scope.
Yes. Weatherby guarantees every Vanguard will put three shots into .99 inches or less at 100 yards from a cold barrel when fed Weatherby factory or premium ammunition. The cold hammer-forged barrel and one-piece machined bolt body are a big part of why the Vanguard line has such a strong accuracy reputation.
It is. Weatherby moved the Vanguard line to threaded barrels as standard, so this 22 inch barrel is ready to accept a muzzle brake or suppressor with the right thread adapter or device. It ships with the muzzle protected, so you can run it bare until you decide to add something.
The .30-06 Springfield is one of the most versatile big game cartridges ever made. With the right bullet weight it handles everything from whitetails and hogs up to elk, moose, and black bear. Ammo selection is also excellent, from budget hunting loads to premium bonded and monolithic bullets.
