Key Features
Precision Engineering
The Weatherby Vanguard Obsidian is engineered for consistent accuracy and robust field performance. Its cold hammer-forged, 22-inch barrel ensures optimal projectile velocity and stability, contributing to its inherent precision. The rifle is chambered in .243 Winchester, a versatile cartridge suitable for a range of applications from varmint control to medium game hunting.
Reliable Action
Utilizing a robust two-lug fluted bolt design, the Vanguard action provides smooth, positive cycling and dependable lock-up. The one-piece machined bolt body minimizes flex, ensuring consistent contact with the receiver lugs. A fully enclosed bolt sleeve enhances structural integrity and provides an additional layer of safety.
Ergonomic Stock System
The Obsidian variant features a Monte Carlo Griptonite® synthetic stock, designed for optimal shooter interface. Its textured panels provide a secure grip in adverse conditions, while the Monte Carlo comb height facilitates proper eye alignment with mounted optics. The material composition offers resistance to environmental elements, maintaining dimensional stability across varying temperatures and humidity levels.
Trigger System
Equipped with a user-adjustable, two-stage trigger, the Vanguard Obsidian allows for precise tuning to individual shooter preference. This system promotes consistent trigger pull characteristics, mitigating movement and aiding in shot placement for enhanced accuracy.
Performance Guarantee
Each Weatherby Vanguard rifle, including the Obsidian, is backed by the manufacturer’s SUB-MOA guarantee. This ensures that with premium ammunition, the rifle will achieve a three-shot group of .99-inch or less at 100 yards from a cold barrel.
