CTG stands for Compact Truck Gun, and that pretty much tells you what Weatherby was going for here. They took the trusted Vanguard action, dropped it into a shortened version of their Camilla stock, and capped it with a 20 inch cold hammer forged barrel wearing a factory muzzle brake. The result is a rifle with a 39.5 inch overall length that slides into a truck rack, a box blind, or a saddle scabbard without a fight, and the 13 inch length of pull suits smaller-framed hunters and anyone who shoots layered up in cold weather.
This is still a real Vanguard underneath, which means it carries Weatherby's Sub-MOA guarantee: a 3-shot group of .99 inches or better at 100 yards with quality factory ammo. The two-stage match trigger is adjustable down to 2.5 pounds and breaks clean, the one-piece fluted bolt runs smooth, and the 3-position safety lets you cycle the action with the trigger locked. Barrel, receiver, bolt, and bolt knob all wear Graphite Black Cerakote, and the polymer Monte Carlo stock gets a hand-painted black, rust, and stone quarry sponge finish that looks sharp and shrugs off weather. The receiver comes drilled and tapped, so mounting glass is quick work.
The .243 Winchester is one of the best do-it-all cartridges going, flat enough for coyotes and prairie dogs, plenty for whitetail and antelope, and easy on the shoulder. The 1:10 twist stabilizes the popular 90 to 100 grain hunting bullets, and the factory brake takes an already mild cartridge down to nearly nothing, which makes this a fantastic rifle for newer hunters. If you run a suppressor instead, the 1/2-28 threads have you covered.
At around 7 pounds bare, the Vanguard CTG carries easily and points fast in tight cover. It is the kind of rifle that ends up doing everything: riding in the truck all season, filling doe tags, and knocking down coyotes in the off months. Hard to ask for more from a bolt gun this handy.
Yes, it ships with a factory muzzle brake installed on the 20 inch barrel, bringing total barrel length to about 22 inches. The muzzle is threaded 1/2-28, so you can swap the brake for a suppressor or another muzzle device whenever you like.
It is. Like all Vanguard rifles, this one is guaranteed to print a 3-shot group of .99 inches or less at 100 yards from a cold barrel when fed Weatherby factory or premium ammunition. That guarantee applies for two years from the verified purchase date for the original owner.
CTG stands for Compact Truck Gun. Weatherby built it on a shortened version of their Camilla stock with a 13 inch length of pull, so it fits smaller-framed hunters, youth shooters, and anyone working out of blinds, tree stands, or a truck cab. In .243 Win it makes a great deer, antelope, and predator rifle with very light recoil.
It ships without sights, but the steel receiver comes drilled and tapped from the factory. Any bases or rails made for the Vanguard or Howa 1500 short action pattern will fit, so getting a scope mounted is quick and inexpensive.
