Vanguard barrels are cold hammer forged which make them much more accurate and reliable than other rifles in their price range. To back this up, all Vanguards are guaranteed to shoot a 3-shot group of .99” or less at 100 yards (SUB-MOA) from a cold barrel when used with Weatherby® factory or premium ammunition. The Hunter comes with a recoil-reducing Accubrake, 3-position safety, two-stage trigger, and fluted bolt body. All Vanguards have a one-piece machined bolt body and a fully enclosed bolt sleeve. They also sport an integral recoil lug and hinged floorplate.
Length-of-pull adjustability, along with the great price, makes this rifle a popular pick for parents who are raising their kids in the sporting life. It’s also a great option for tight quarters inside hunting blinds or the perfect gun to take on a coyote hunt. The Compact Hunter comes with a threaded barrel that is ready for a suppressor or the included recoil reducing muzzle break.
