Description
Most rifles marketed to women are just standard guns with a shorter stock bolted on. The Vanguard Camilla Wilderness is different. Weatherby put real engineering into this one, reshaping the entire stock around how women and smaller-statured hunters are built. The 13 inch length of pull is only the start. The comb sits higher for proper eye alignment behind a scope, the grip is slimmer with a shorter reach to the trigger, and the recoil pad is canted with a negative angle so the toe angles away from the body and settles naturally into a smaller shoulder pocket. The result is a rifle that mounts quickly and points where you look without any awkward stretching or scrunching.
A Camilla Built for the Coyote Fields
This version comes chambered in .22-250 Remington, one of the flattest, fastest varmint cartridges ever made, fed from a 5+1 capacity magazine with a hinged floorplate. The 20 inch #1 contour barrel wears a 1:12 twist that favors the lighter bullets this cartridge loves, and the muzzle is threaded 1/2×28 so you can spin on a suppressor or brake without a trip to the gunsmith. At 6.5 pounds and just 39.5 inches overall, it carries easily on long walks after coyotes and swings fast when a dog hangs up at the edge of a field. Recoil in this chambering is mild to begin with, which makes the Camilla a genuinely pleasant rifle to practice with.
Wilderness Series Toughness, Vanguard Accuracy
The Wilderness trim swaps wood for a green hand-laid fiberglass stock with black webbing, a durable setup that shrugs off weather and rough truck rides. Metalwork gets a matte, bead-blasted blued finish that keeps glare down in the field. Underneath it all is the proven Vanguard action with a fluted bolt, a three-position safety, and Weatherby's match-quality two-stage trigger that adjusts down to 2.5 pounds. Every Vanguard carries Weatherby's sub-MOA guarantee, promising three-shot groups under an inch at 100 yards with qualifying ammunition. For a smaller-framed hunter who wants a serious varmint rifle that fits right out of the box, this one checks every box.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is the Vanguard Camilla only for women, or can anyone shoot it?
Weatherby designed the Camilla around the ergonomics of women, but it fits anyone with a smaller frame. The 13 inch length of pull, slim grip, and higher comb work great for youth hunters and shorter adults too. Plenty of folks buy it simply because it fits them better than a full-size stock.
Does the Weatherby Vanguard Camilla come with a sub-MOA accuracy guarantee?
Yes. Every Vanguard is guaranteed to print a three-shot group of .99 inch or less at 100 yards from a cold barrel when using Weatherby factory or premium ammunition. That guarantee applies to the original purchaser for two years from the verified purchase date.
Can I mount a suppressor on this rifle?
You can. The 20 inch barrel comes threaded 1/2×28 from the factory, which is the common thread pattern for most .22 caliber suppressors and muzzle devices. Just remove the thread protector and you are ready to go.
What is the .22-250 Camilla best suited for?
The .22-250 Rem is a fast, flat-shooting cartridge that shines on coyotes, prairie dogs, groundhogs, and other varmints, and it doubles as a fun long-range target round. The 1:12 twist barrel is set up for the lighter bullet weights this cartridge is known for. Recoil is light, which makes it an easy rifle to shoot well all day.
