The Weatherby Vanguard S2 Compact in 6.5 Creedmoor provides a robust and accurate platform for demanding shooters. Engineered for consistent performance, this bolt action rifle integrates critical design elements to ensure reliability and precision in various field conditions. Its compact configuration prioritizes maneuverability without compromising ballistic capability.
Key Features
Precision Engineering
The Vanguard S2 Compact features a cold hammer-forged barrel, ensuring dimensional stability and bore uniformity for consistent bullet trajectory. The rifle is equipped with Weatherby’s two-stage, adjustable match-grade trigger, factory-tuned to a crisp 2.5-3 pound pull weight, facilitating precise shot placement. This model is backed by Weatherby’s sub-MOA accuracy guarantee at 100 yards with premium ammunition, affirming its inherent precision.
Robust Construction
Constructed for durability, the rifle utilizes a matte blued finish on all metalwork to mitigate glare and enhance corrosion resistance. The one-piece fluted bolt body is designed for smooth operation and reduced friction. A synthetic Monte Carlo style stock with Griptonite inserts ensures a secure grip and withstands harsh environmental exposure, contributing to the rifle’s overall longevity and field readiness.
Optimized for Utility
Designed as a compact variant, this rifle minimizes overall length and weight, enhancing portability and handling in confined spaces or while on the move. The three-position safety allows for controlled manipulation, enabling the bolt to be operated while the safety is engaged, or locking both the bolt and trigger for secure transport. The integral recoil pad effectively mitigates felt recoil, improving shooter comfort and follow-up shot acquisition.
