Weatherby Vanguard Sporter Features Weatherby Vanguard Sporter is built around a 24-inch cold hammer-forged steel barrel with a 1:10-inch twist rate and 1/2x28 threaded muzzle with target crown finished in bead blasted blued for a matte low-glare exterior suited to field hunting across varying weather conditions. Cold hammer-forging produces a barrel with superior internal consistency and surface hardness compared to conventionally rifled barrels directly contributing to the sub-MOA accuracy guarantee Weatherby backs this platform with. The drilled and tapped stainless steel receiver in matte blued finish provides a solid repeatable optics mounting foundation for a wide range of scope configurations without iron sights. The adjustable two-stage match trigger delivers a crisp 2.50 lb pull right out of the box and the 3-position safety allows the shooter to lock the bolt or load and unload the rifle with the safety engaged for versatile safe field handling. The one-piece machined bolt body with fluted design reduces weight while maintaining rigidity and the fully enclosed bolt sleeve and integral recoil lug contribute to long-term action integrity. A hinged floorplate allows easy unloading without chambering each cartridge for safe convenient field handling. The Grade A Turkish walnut Monte Carlo stock features a raised comb for a consistent elevated cheek weld behind a scope drop dimensions of 0.75 inches at the comb and 1.25 inches at the heel and a 13.63-inch length of pull for a comfortable natural shooting position. The walnut stock delivers the traditional feel and visual appeal that hunters who appreciate classic rifle aesthetics demand complementing the bead blasted blued metalwork for a refined traditionally appointed hunting rifle. At 7.80 lbs and 44.50 inches overall the Vanguard Sporter balances well for a full day of hunting carry without fatigue.
