Weatherby Vanguard Black Hills .308 Win 20″ Heavy Threaded Barrel Rifle

Description

Weatherby built the Vanguard name on rifles that shoot better than their price tag suggests, and the Black Hills edition keeps that streak going. This .308 Win version wears a 20 inch cold hammer forged heavy contour barrel, which gives you a stiffer, more consistent tube that holds its point of impact as it heats up. The muzzle comes threaded with a brake installed, so you can tame recoil at the range or spin it off and run a suppressor when you want to keep things quiet in the deer woods. And like every Vanguard, it carries Weatherby's Sub-MOA guarantee: a three-shot group of .99 inches or less at 100 yards from a cold barrel with quality factory ammo.

What Sets the Vanguard Black Hills Apart

The action is the proven two-lug, push-feed Vanguard design with a Sako-style extractor, an integral recoil lug, and a smooth-running bolt that has earned hunters' trust for decades. The match-grade two-stage trigger breaks clean and predictable, and the three-position safety lets you cycle the bolt with the rifle on safe. Feeding comes from a 5+1 hinged floorplate magazine, which keeps the belly of the rifle slick for carrying and eliminates a detachable mag rattling around in your pack.

A Stock Built for Weather and Steady Shooting

The black polymer Monte Carlo stock shrugs off rain, snow, and rough handling, and each one gets a hand-painted green and tan sponge finish applied at Weatherby's shop in Sheridan, Wyoming, so no two look quite alike. The raised comb lines your eye up naturally behind a scope, which matters since this rifle ships optics ready. Peak 44 supplies the hardware: a Picatinny rail on the receiver for your glass and an Arca/Pic adapter on the fore-end that clips straight onto a tripod or accepts a bipod. Between the heavy barrel, the brake, and that Arca fitting, this setup is right at home shooting from a tripod on a prairie dog town or waiting out a whitetail from a box blind.
