The .25-06 Remington has been quietly filling freezers for generations, and the Weatherby Vanguard Obsidian gives that flat-shooting quarter bore a proper home. The 24 inch #2 contour barrel is cold hammer forged for consistency and wrings full velocity out of the cartridge, which is exactly what you want when a pronghorn is standing 300 yards out and the wind is doing its thing. The muzzle comes threaded 1/2-28, so adding a suppressor or brake is as easy as spinning off the thread protector. Weatherby backs every Vanguard with their Sub-MOA guarantee, meaning a three-shot group under an inch at 100 yards from a cold barrel with premium ammo. That is real confidence for a working hunting rifle.
The action is where the Vanguard has always punched above its weight. You get a one-piece fluted bolt body, an M16-style extractor that yanks brass out with authority, and a user-adjustable two-stage match trigger that breaks around three pounds from the factory. The three-position safety is a genuinely useful touch, letting you cycle the bolt to load or unload with the trigger still locked. Up top, the receiver is drilled and tapped, ready for the scope base of your choice since the rifle ships without sights.
The all-black Obsidian treatment pairs matte blued metalwork with a polymer Monte Carlo stock that shrugs off rain, mud, and temperature swings without flinching. The raised comb lines your eye up naturally behind a scope, and the included recoil pad soaks up what little kick the .25-06 produces, which is not much to begin with. A hinged floorplate handles the 5+1 capacity and makes unloading quick, while factory swivel studs mean a sling goes on the day you bring it home. At roughly 7.4 pounds bare, it carries comfortably on long hikes but settles down nicely on the shooting sticks. For a do-it-all deer and antelope rig that will not let you down, this one checks a lot of boxes.
No, this rifle ships without iron sights or optics. The receiver is drilled and tapped for scope bases, so you can mount whatever glass suits your hunting style. Most folks pair the .25-06 with a 3-9x or 4-12x scope for open country work.
Weatherby guarantees every Vanguard will shoot a three-shot group of .99 inches or less at 100 yards from a cold barrel when using Weatherby factory or premium ammunition. The guarantee is good for two years from verified purchase. It is one of the few accuracy promises in this price class that comes in writing.
Yes, the 24 inch barrel comes threaded 1/2-28 from the factory, so it accepts most common suppressors and muzzle brakes without any gunsmith work. Just remove the thread protector and spin on your device. The .25-06 suppresses nicely and already has mild recoil to begin with.
It is. The Vanguard uses a two-stage match grade trigger that is user adjustable, with an average factory pull weight around 3 pounds. Most owners find it crisp and clean right out of the box without touching a thing.
