The Weatherby Vanguard Badlands in .300 Weatherby Magnum is engineered for precise, reliable performance in varied field environments. This bolt action rifle integrates a robust action with a precision barrel, designed to deliver consistent shot placement at extended ranges. It represents a practical choice for discerning hunters and precision shooters who require a high-velocity, hard-hitting platform.
Key Features
Precision Performance
The Vanguard action, known for its consistent lockup, is paired with a cold hammer-forged 24-inch barrel. This combination, when utilized with quality ammunition, provides a guaranteed sub-Minute-of-Angle (MOA) accuracy at 100 yards, a performance backed by the manufacturer’s warranty. The adjustable two-stage match trigger allows for precise shot control, mitigating common trigger-induced deviations.
Robust Construction
Featuring a durable synthetic Griptonite stock in a desert tan finish, this rifle withstands rigorous field use. The stock’s Monte Carlo design and textured grip panels optimize handling and recoil absorption. All external metal surfaces are treated with a corrosion-resistant Cerakote finish, enhancing longevity and environmental resilience.
Caliber Optimization
Chambered in .300 Weatherby Magnum, the rifle is optimized to harness the cartridge’s inherent ballistic advantages. The 24-inch barrel length provides an efficient balance of velocity generation and maneuverability, crucial for long-range engagements while maintaining a practical overall length.
Reliability in Field Conditions
The Vanguard’s push-feed action cycles smoothly and reliably, even under adverse conditions. The fluted bolt design further enhances operational integrity by reducing friction and shedding debris. A three-position safety provides secure operation, allowing for bolt manipulation with the safety engaged.
