Weatherby Vanguard Weatherguard .270 Winchester Bolt Action Rifle
The Weatherby Vanguard Weatherguard is engineered for robust performance and precision in challenging operational environments. This bolt-action rifle delivers consistent accuracy and unfailing reliability, making it a professional-grade choice for demanding field applications.
Key Features
All-Weather Construction
The Vanguard Weatherguard integrates an advanced Weatherguard finish, a proprietary ceramic-based application providing superior corrosion and abrasion resistance across all metal components. This finish ensures long-term durability and operational integrity in adverse conditions, complemented by a durable, lightweight synthetic stock designed to withstand environmental extremes without compromise to structural integrity or shooter interface. The stock features a Monte Carlo comb for optimal cheek weld and Griptonite panels for secure handling in wet conditions.
Precision Engineering
At its core, the Vanguard Weatherguard utilizes a cold hammer-forged barrel, ensuring consistent bore concentricity and precise rifling. This manufacturing process contributes directly to enhanced accuracy and extended barrel life. The robust Vanguard action features a two-lug bolt with a one-piece machined bolt body and an integral recoil lug, mitigating receiver flex and optimizing shot-to-shot consistency. The M.O.A. (Match Optimized Adjustable) trigger system allows for a clean, crisp break, adjustable for pull weight to a user-preferred setting, further contributing to shot placement precision.
Guaranteed Accuracy
Weatherby stands behind the Vanguard Weatherguard series with a **guarantee of performance backed by a warranty**: when utilizing premium factory ammunition, this rifle is guaranteed to achieve 0.99-inch or tighter groups at 100 yards. This commitment to accuracy ensures that the rifle delivers repeatable, sub-minute-of-angle precision under field conditions.
Operational Reliability
Operational safety and reliability are paramount. The three-position safety allows for secure handling with the bolt locked, or for unloading with the safety engaged. The rifle’s internal box magazine system provides secure cartridge retention and reliable feeding in diverse operational environments.
