The .25-06 Remington has quietly earned a loyal following among pronghorn, deer, and coyote hunters who want speed without the shoulder abuse, and the Vanguard Badlands gives that cartridge a proper home. Weatherby builds this one on the proven Vanguard bolt action with a 24 inch cold hammer forged #2 contour barrel, which is long enough to wring real velocity out of the .25-06 and threaded 1/2×28 at the muzzle if you want to add a suppressor or brake down the road. Every Vanguard carries Weatherby's sub-MOA guarantee, meaning a three-shot group under an inch at 100 yards with quality factory ammo, so the accuracy claims are backed up on paper.
This was the first production rifle to wear the Badlands Approach camo pattern, and it does more than look good on the rack. The pattern uses a neutral palette designed to adapt to changing terrain and light, breaking up the rifle's outline instead of relying on one specific environment. The metalwork gets a Burnt Bronze Cerakote treatment on the barrel, receiver, and trigger guard, which adds genuine wear and corrosion resistance for those wet, dusty, or snowy days when a hunt goes sideways on the weather.
The polymer Monte Carlo stock has a raised comb that lines your eye up naturally behind a scope, and the receiver comes drilled and tapped since there are no iron sights to work around. Weatherby's two-stage match trigger breaks clean and adjusts down to 2.5 pounds, the fluted one-piece bolt cycles smoothly, and the three-position safety lets you unload with the safety still engaged. A hinged floorplate makes emptying the 5+1 capacity quick and simple.
At 7.5 pounds with a 1:10 twist that stabilizes the popular 100 to 120 grain hunting bullets, this is a well-balanced setup for antelope flats, bean field whitetails, and long crosscanyon shots on coyotes. Mount a good scope, find the load your barrel likes, and this rifle will hold up its end of the deal.
Yes, Weatherby backs every Vanguard with a sub-MOA guarantee, meaning it will shoot a three-shot group of 0.99 inches or less at 100 yards from a cold barrel using Weatherby factory or premium ammunition. That guarantee is valid within two years of purchase. As with any rifle, you may need to try a few loads to find what your barrel prefers.
You can. The 24 inch barrel comes threaded 1/2×28 from the factory, so it accepts common muzzle devices without a trip to a gunsmith. Just double-check that your suppressor or brake matches the 1/2×28 thread pattern and is rated for the .25-06 cartridge.
No, this rifle ships without iron sights or optics. The receiver is drilled and tapped for scope bases, and the raised Monte Carlo comb on the stock is shaped to give you a solid cheek weld behind a mounted scope. Plan on adding bases, rings, and glass to complete the setup.
The .25-06 is a fast, flat-shooting cartridge that shines on pronghorn, deer, and predators at extended ranges. It delivers impressive velocity with mild recoil compared to larger deer cartridges, which makes it easy to shoot well. The 24 inch barrel on this Vanguard helps the round reach its full velocity potential.
