The .270 Winchester has been dropping deer, antelope, and elk for nearly a century, and the Weatherby Vanguard Obsidian gives that classic cartridge a home worthy of it. This is the blacked-out member of the Vanguard family, with a blued barrel, receiver, and bolt paired to a matte black Monte Carlo synthetic stock. The look is clean and businesslike, and the build is made to shrug off rain, snow, and rough truck rides without complaint. At 7.5 pounds with a 44.5-inch overall length, it carries comfortably and settles nicely on the shoulder.
Every Vanguard comes with Weatherby's sub-MOA guarantee, meaning a three-shot group under an inch at 100 yards from a cold barrel with Weatherby factory or premium ammo. The 24-inch cold hammer forged barrel with a 1:10 twist does the heavy lifting there, and it wrings full velocity out of the flat-shooting .270. The two-stage match trigger breaks clean and adjusts down to 2.5 pounds, which makes it a lot easier to squeeze off a careful shot when a buck steps out at 300 yards. A one-piece machined receiver with an integral recoil lug keeps everything rigid and consistent, and the M16-style extractor pulls cases smoothly shot after shot.
The muzzle comes threaded 1/2×28 with a thread cap installed, so adding a suppressor or brake takes about a minute. The three-position safety lets you unload with the safety still engaged or lock the bolt down entirely, a feature worth having when you're climbing in and out of a stand. The hinged floorplate holds five rounds of .270, one more than most competing hunting rifles, and the raised comb on the stock lines your eye up naturally behind a scope. The receiver arrives drilled and tapped with no iron sights, so plan on mounting glass. Pick your favorite .270 load, get it zeroed, and this rifle will hold up its end of the deal for a lot of seasons.
No, this rifle ships without iron sights or optics. The receiver comes drilled and tapped from the factory, so you can mount two-piece bases or a rail and add the scope of your choice. Most owners pair the .270 with a 3-9x or 4-12x hunting scope.
Yes, the 24-inch barrel is threaded 1/2×28 and includes a thread cap to protect the muzzle when nothing is attached. That thread pattern accepts many common suppressors and muzzle brakes, though you may want to confirm your specific can is rated for .270 Win pressures.
Weatherby guarantees every Vanguard will shoot a three-shot group of .99 inch or less at 100 yards from a cold barrel using Weatherby factory or premium ammunition. The cold hammer forged barrel and adjustable two-stage match trigger are big contributors. In practice, plenty of Vanguards shoot even tighter once you find the load your barrel likes.
The rear position locks both the trigger and the bolt, the middle position keeps the trigger blocked while letting you cycle the bolt, and the forward position is fire. That middle setting is the handy one, since it lets you load or unload the rifle with the safety still engaged.
