The .22-250 Remington has been laying out coyotes and prairie dogs at eye-popping distances for decades, and the Weatherby Vanguard Obsidian gives that classic speed demon a platform worthy of it. The 24-inch #2 contour barrel is cold hammer forged for consistency shot after shot, and Weatherby backs it with their sub-MOA guarantee: a three-shot group under an inch at 100 yards with premium factory ammo. That is not marketing fluff, it is a written promise, and the Vanguard line has built its reputation on delivering it.
A big part of the answer is the trigger. The two-stage match trigger breaks clean and can be adjusted down to around 2.5 pounds, which is a real advantage when you are squeezing off at a coyote way out past 300 yards. The one-piece forged receiver with integral recoil lug keeps everything rigid, the fully enclosed bolt sleeve directs gases away from your face, and the M16-style extractor yanks brass out reliably every time you run the bolt. A 3-position safety lets you cycle the action with the safety still engaged, which is a nice touch when unloading at the truck.
The all-black Obsidian treatment pairs a matte blued barreled action with a synthetic Monte Carlo stock that shrugs off rain, mud, and rough handling. The raised comb lines your eye up naturally behind a scope, and the receiver comes drilled and tapped since there are no iron sights to work around. The muzzle is threaded 1/2×28, so adding a suppressor or brake is as easy as spinning off the protector. With the 1:14 twist favoring the light, fast bullets the .22-250 was born to shoot, this setup is tailor-made for varmint work.
At 7.5 pounds with a 44-inch overall length, it carries fine for walking pastures but has enough barrel to wring full velocity out of the cartridge. Feed it from the 5-round hinged floorplate, top it with decent glass, and go make some fur fly.
Yes. Weatherby guarantees every Vanguard will shoot a 3-shot group of 0.99 inches or less at 100 yards using Weatherby factory or premium factory ammunition. The cold hammer forged barrel and match-grade two-stage trigger are a big part of how they can back that up.
The 24-inch barrel is threaded 1/2×28, which is the standard pattern for most .22 caliber suppressors and muzzle brakes. Just remove the thread protector and spin on your can or brake. The extra barrel length also helps the .22-250 reach its full velocity potential.
No, it ships without sights, but the receiver comes drilled and tapped for scope mounts. The Vanguard action shares its footprint with the Howa 1500, so bases and rails are easy to find. The raised Monte Carlo comb on the stock is shaped to give you solid cheek weld behind a scope.
The 1:14 twist is built for the light, fast bullets that made the .22-250 famous, generally in the 40 to 55 grain range. That covers just about every popular varmint load on the shelf. Heavier match bullets over 60 grains typically will not stabilize well in this twist, so stick with classic varmint weights for best accuracy.
