The Weatherby Vanguard Obsidian in .308 Winchester is engineered for consistent, reliable performance in diverse field conditions. This precision bolt-action rifle integrates a cold hammer-forged barrel with a robust action, ensuring repeatable accuracy and durability. The .308 Winchester chambering provides a versatile platform, optimizing its utility for various applications, from medium-game acquisition to precision target engagement.
Key Features
Cold Hammer-Forged Barrel
The 22-inch cold hammer-forged barrel is a critical component for precision. This manufacturing process densifies the steel and creates a consistent, uniform bore, which is paramount for shot-to-shot accuracy and extended service life. The precise bore dimensions mitigate variations in projectile flight, promoting tighter groups and predictable ballistic output.
Guaranteed SUB-MOA Performance
This rifle is backed by the manufacturer’s SUB-MOA performance guarantee. When utilizing premium ammunition, the Vanguard Obsidian is verified to consistently produce groups under one inch at 100 yards. This guarantee underscores the rifle’s inherent mechanical precision, ensuring a high level of accuracy for the discerning shooter.
Durable Synthetic Stock
The Vanguard Obsidian features a durable synthetic stock engineered for resilience and stability. This material selection provides superior resistance to environmental factors such as moisture and temperature fluctuations, which can affect traditional stock materials. The design ensures a stable shooting platform, crucial for maintaining point of aim without introducing undue mass.
Three-Position Safety
An integrated three-position safety mechanism enhances operational security. This system allows for the bolt to be operated for safe loading or unloading with the firing pin blocked, prevents the bolt from opening while engaged, and provides a full “safe” position. This design facilitates secure handling and mitigates the risk of unintended discharge during field operations.
Adjustable Match-Grade Trigger
The adjustable match-grade trigger system is designed to provide a clean, crisp break. This feature permits the user to fine-tune the trigger pull weight and feel, directly contributing to enhanced shot placement and reduced shooter-induced error. A predictable trigger engagement is fundamental for precision shooting.
Vanguard Action and Capacity
The Vanguard action is renowned for its smooth, reliable cycling, which is essential for rapid and consistent follow-up shots. The rifle utilizes standard Weatherby Vanguard magazines, providing a 5-round capacity for .308 Winchester cartridges, a practical configuration for both hunting and range applications.
