The CTG in the name stands for Compact Truck Gun, and that tells you most of what you need to know about this Vanguard. Weatherby took their proven two-lug Vanguard action and dropped it into a shortened stock with a 13-inch length of pull, then capped it with a 20-inch threaded barrel. The result is a rifle that measures just 39.5 inches overall and rides behind the seat, in a blind, or across a UTV without fighting you. Chambered in .223 Rem/5.56 NATO with a fast 1-in-8 twist, it stabilizes the heavier match and varmint bullets that shorter twist rates leave behind, which makes it a legitimately versatile coyote and prairie dog rig.
Every Vanguard comes with Weatherby's guarantee to print a 3-shot group of .99 inches or better at 100 yards from a cold barrel with premium factory ammo. Backing that up is a match-quality two-stage trigger that adjusts down to 2.5 pounds and breaks clean, plus a one-piece forged receiver with an integral recoil lug. The fully shrouded bolt carries three gas ports and an M16-style extractor for positive, smooth cycling, and the 3-position safety lets you work the bolt to unload with the trigger still blocked.
The barrel, receiver, bolt, bolt knob, and safety all wear Graphite Black Cerakote, one of the toughest thin-film ceramic finishes in the business against rust, scratches, and general abuse. The compact Monte Carlo synthetic stock features a raised comb for solid cheek weld behind a scope, and the black, rust, and stone quarry hand-sponged pattern gives it some character without shouting.
The muzzle carries a standard 1/2×28 thread pattern, so it accepts the most common suppressors and muzzle devices for .22 caliber bores. Feeding comes from an internal magazine with a 5+1 capacity, keeping the profile slim and snag-free. At around 7 pounds bare, it carries easy and settles down nicely on the bags or over a pack.
Yes. The 20-inch barrel comes threaded from the factory in the common 1/2×28 pattern, so most suppressors and muzzle devices made for .22 caliber centerfires will spin right on. No gunsmith trip needed to get it quiet.
It has a 1-in-8 twist, which is faster than the 1-in-12 found on a lot of older bolt action .223s. That means it will stabilize heavier bullets in the 62 to 77 grain range along with the lighter varmint loads. It gives you a lot more flexibility on ammo choice, especially for longer shots.
It does. Weatherby guarantees every Vanguard will shoot a 3-shot group of .99 inches or less at 100 yards from a cold barrel using Weatherby factory or premium ammunition, valid for two years from the verified purchase date for the original owner. The adjustable two-stage trigger, which can be tuned down to 2.5 pounds, helps you get the most out of that potential.
No, this Vanguard CTG feeds from an internal magazine with a 5+1 capacity. That keeps the bottom of the rifle slim and snag-free, which fits the compact truck gun concept well. Topping it off is quick through the ejection port with the bolt open.
