Weatherby Specifications

Weatherby offers 28 versions of its Vanguard rifle, so there's bound to be one to fit your needs. With so many varieties, there are plenty of options – as well as third-party accessories – available for customization, but all Weatherby Vanguard rifles are guaranteed to fire 3-shot groups of .99" or less at 100 yards (SUB-MOA) when used with Weatherby ammo. Weatherby Vanguard rifles also feature two-stage triggers that are honed by hand and then tuned and inspected. The housing is made of an alloy and can be adjusted down to 2.5 pounds. An enclosed sleeve helps redirect gasses and particles in case of rupture and is short to reduce weight. A recoil pad helps reduce strain from shooting. The rifles feature 3-position safeties and are positioned to allow the shooter to work the action while still engaged. This is all built to suit a one-piece machined bolt body, providing maximum strength and structural integrity.

Weatherby Vanguard History

Weatherby Inc. was founded in 1945 by Roy Weatherby, who got his start making bespoke rifles. Eventually his business expanded and Weatherby began offering mass-manufactured rifles and propriety designs. The Mark V rifle was so popular that manufacturing and finishing, previously handled at Weatherby headquarters, quickly had to be contracted out to J.P. Sauer in West Germany. By the late 1960s Weatherby was interested in designing a more affordable rifle for hunters and the Vanguard was born. Howa of Japan built the Weatherby Vanguard, which debuted in 1970. The sporting bolt-action rifle soon became a popular alternative to models from Remington and Winchester.
