The Weatherby Vanguard Outfitter is engineered for the demanding conditions of high-country pursuits, providing a durable and precise platform. This rifle integrates a battle-proven action with application-specific enhancements to meet rigorous field requirements.
Key Features
Vanguard Action System
The core of the Outfitter is the venerable Vanguard Action, a system with over five decades of proven field performance. This action features an integral recoil lug, a design choice that enhances the structural integrity and robustness of the receiver, providing a secure and stable foundation for consistent accuracy and reliable operation under significant stress. This design mitigates stress on mounting hardware and improves overall system durability.
Optimized Ergonomics & Control
The rifle incorporates the classic Weatherby Monte Carlo stock, known for its ergonomic profile that facilitates rapid sight acquisition and comfortable shot placement. A crisp Two-Stage trigger mechanism provides a predictable and clean break, allowing for precise shot execution. The integral 3-Position safety offers secure handling, enabling the user to load or unload the rifle with the safety engaged, or to lock the bolt completely when traversing challenging terrain.
Barrel & Precision
The Outfitter features a 26-inch hammer-forged barrel. Hammer forging is a process known to produce barrels with enhanced material consistency and longevity. The barrel is threaded, facilitating the integration of muzzle devices such as suppressors or brakes, allowing for system customization. A spiral-fluted profile on the barrel contributes to weight reduction and aids in heat dissipation during extended firing sequences, maintaining bore integrity and mitigating point-of-impact shift.
Durability & Finish
This iteration of the Vanguard is finished with an updated Cerakote application combined with a hand-sponge paint finish. Cerakote is a ceramic-based coating recognized for its superior resistance to corrosion, abrasion, and chemical exposure, crucial for maintaining function in adverse weather. The hand-sponge finish provides a non-reflective, textured surface, enhancing camouflage and handling.
Reliability Enhancements
Equipped with an M16-style extractor, the Vanguard Outfitter ensures positive and reliable case extraction, even under challenging conditions or with fouled chambers. This robust component is a critical factor in maintaining consistent cycling and reducing stoppages in the field.
