Description

The 22-250 Remington has been ruining a coyote's day for decades, and the Weatherby Vanguard Outfitter gives that screaming-fast cartridge a platform worthy of it. At the heart of this rifle is a cold hammer forged, 24 inch spiral fluted #2 contour barrel backed by Weatherby's sub-MOA guarantee: a three-shot group of .99 inch or better at 100 yards with quality factory ammo. The 1:14 twist is right at home with the lighter 40 to 55 grain bullets that make the 22-250 such a laser on prairie dogs, groundhogs, and song dogs way out there.

Built on the Proven Vanguard Action

The Vanguard action has been earning its keep for over 50 years, and this one carries the details that matter. The two-stage match trigger is adjustable down to 2.5 pounds and breaks clean, which counts for a lot when a coyote hangs up at 350 yards. The three-position safety lets you cycle the bolt with the safety engaged, and the fully enclosed bolt sleeve redirects gas away from your face in the rare event of a pierced primer or case rupture. Rounds feed from a 5+1 internal magazine with a hinged floorplate, so there is no detachable mag to lose in the truck.

Outfitter Looks That Earn Their Keep

Every metal surface wears Graphite Black Cerakote, one of the most weather-resistant finishes you can put on a rifle, and the tan Monte Carlo synthetic stock gets a hand-applied brown and white sponge paint job, so no two look quite the same. Texture panels at the grip and forend keep things planted with cold or wet hands, and swivel studs are ready for a sling or bipod. The muzzle is threaded 1/2×28 and comes wearing Weatherby's Accubrake ST, which takes the already mild 22-250 down to nearly nothing so you can watch your hits through the scope. At 6.75 pounds bare, it carries easily for a rifle with this much barrel.

Setting Up Your Vanguard Outfitter

The receiver ships without sights and is drilled and tapped for scope bases, so plan on adding glass. Pair it with a solid variable optic in the 4-16x range and you have a varmint and predator rig that will outshoot most of us on our best day.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does the Vanguard Outfitter 22-250 come with sights or a scope?

No, this rifle ships without iron sights or an optic. The receiver is drilled and tapped for scope bases, so you just need to add bases, rings, and the glass of your choice. Vanguard rifles share the Howa 1500 footprint, which makes finding mounts easy.

Is the barrel on the Weatherby Vanguard Outfitter threaded?

Yes, the muzzle is threaded 1/2×28 and comes from the factory with Weatherby's Accubrake ST installed. You can run the brake, swap in a suppressor with the right adapter, or add a thread protector and shoot it bare. In 22-250 the brake makes recoil essentially disappear, which helps you spot your own impacts.

How accurate is the Vanguard Outfitter?

Weatherby backs every Vanguard with a sub-MOA guarantee, meaning 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 do a lot of the heavy lifting there. For a factory hunting rifle, that is a strong promise to put in writing.

What bullet weights work best with the 1:14 twist in this 22-250?

The 1:14 twist is the classic 22-250 setup and stabilizes bullets in the 40 to 55 grain range beautifully. That covers most varmint and predator loads on the shelf, from fast 40 grain screamers to 55 grain soft points. It is not built for the heavy 69 grain and up match bullets, so stick to the lighter stuff and it will reward you.
