The 22-250 Remington has been dropping coyotes and punching tiny groups for decades, and the Weatherby Vanguard Compact Hunter puts that flat shooting cartridge in a package that fits just about anyone. The stock uses a removable spacer system that adjusts length of pull from 12.5 to 13.625 inches, which makes this a smart pick for a kid who has a few growth spurts ahead, a smaller framed adult, or anyone who is tired of wrestling a full size rifle inside a blind. At roughly 6.5 pounds with a 20 inch barrel, it carries easy on long walks between calling stands too.
Weatherby backs every Vanguard with a sub-MOA guarantee, meaning a three shot group of .99 inches or less at 100 yards from a cold barrel with Weatherby factory or premium ammo. The cold hammer forged barrel does the heavy lifting there, and the match quality two-stage trigger, adjustable down to around 2.5 pounds, gives you a clean, predictable break that makes the most of it. The 22-250 barely nudges your shoulder to begin with, and the included Accubrake tames what little recoil there is, so newer hunters can focus on fundamentals instead of flinching.
The barrel, receiver, bolt, and safety all wear Tungsten Cerakote, a ceramic based finish that shrugs off rain, scratches, and rough truck rides better than traditional bluing. The black synthetic stock with gray and orange sponge accents looks sharp and stays put in wet weather. You also get a fluted one-piece machined bolt body, a three-position safety that lets you unload with the striker blocked, an integral recoil lug, and a hinged floorplate for quick unloading. The muzzle comes threaded, so if you ever want to run a suppressor for coyote work, just spin off the brake and you are ready.
There are no iron sights on this rifle, and the receiver is ready for scope bases, so plan on adding an optic. A quality 3-9x or 4-12x scope suits the 22-250 nicely for varmints and predators out to reasonable distances.
It is one of the better options out there for exactly that reason. The stock spacer system adjusts length of pull from 12.5 to 13.625 inches, so the rifle can be sized down for a kid and lengthened as they grow. The 22-250 chambering is also very light on recoil, which helps new hunters build good habits at the bench.
No, this rifle ships without sights. The receiver is set up to accept scope bases, so you will want to budget for a set of bases, rings, and an optic. A mid-range variable scope in the 3-9x or 4-12x class is a natural match for the 22-250.
Yes, the 20 inch barrel comes threaded from the factory. It ships with Weatherby's recoil-reducing Accubrake installed along with a thread protector, so you can swap the brake off and thread on a suppressor whenever you are set up for one. That makes it a popular pick for coyote and predator hunters.
Weatherby guarantees the rifle will print a three shot group of .99 inches or less at 100 yards from a cold barrel when fed Weatherby factory or premium ammunition. The cold hammer forged barrel and adjustable two-stage trigger are a big part of how it delivers on that. In practice, plenty of owners report groups well under an inch with ammo the rifle likes.
