The .308 Winchester is a versatile and popular cartridge that offers excellent accuracy, manageable recoil, and sufficient power for a wide range of hunting and shooting applications. Key Features of the Weatherby Vanguard in .308 Winchester: Caliber: .308 Winchester – A highly versatile cartridge that is effective for hunting medium to large game such as deer, elk, and antelope, and is also well-suited for target shooting. Known for its excellent balance of power, accuracy, and recoil, the .308 Winchester is one of the most popular cartridges worldwide. Action: Bolt-action – The Vanguard features a push-feed action with a one-piece machined bolt that has three gas ports for safety and two locking lugs for a smooth and reliable operation. The bolt body is fluted to reduce weight and improve dirt and debris clearance. Barrel: Equipped with a 24-inch cold hammer-forged barrel, the Vanguard offers a balance between accuracy, velocity, and maneuverability. The barrel is made of chromium-molybdenum steel and is precision-crowned at the muzzle to enhance accuracy by ensuring consistent gas release. Stock: Available in various stock configurations: Synthetic Stock: Standard Vanguards often feature a rugged, injection-molded synthetic stock designed to withstand harsh weather conditions and rough handling. The synthetic stock typically has a matte black or camouflage finish and includes textured grip panels for a secure hold. Wood Stock: Some variants, such as the Vanguard Sporter, offer a high-quality walnut stock with a satin finish, providing a classic look and feel. This stock is typically checkered for improved grip. Trigger: The rifle is equipped with a two-stage adjustable trigger that is factory-set to a crisp 2.5 to 3.5 pounds. The trigger pull is smooth, with a consistent break, which enhances accuracy by minimizing shooter-induced errors. The trigger is user-adjustable for weight, allowing customization to the shooter’s preference. Accuracy Guarantee: Weatherby guarantees that the Vanguard is capable of sub-MOA accuracy (less than 1-inch groups at 100 yards) when used with Weatherby factory or premium ammunition, underscoring the rifle‚‚s precision and performance capabilities. Magazine: The Vanguard features an internal, hinged floorplate magazine with a standard capacity of 5 rounds in .308 Winchester. The floorplate allows for quick unloading and maintains a sleek, flush profile. Sights: The rifle is typically sold without iron sights and is drilled and tapped for scope mounts, allowing for easy attachment of a scope or other optics to enhance long-range shooting accuracy. Safety: Equipped with a three-position safety located on the right side of the bolt shroud. The safety positions are: Forward Position: Fire. Middle Position: Allows the bolt to be operated with the safety on for safe loading and unloading. Rear Position: Locks the bolt and trigger for maximum safety during transport. Recoil Pad: Comes with a recoil pad that reduces felt recoil, enhancing comfort during extended shooting sessions. Weight: The weight of the Weatherby Vanguard in .308 Winchester varies depending on the specific model and stock configuration but generally ranges from 7 to 7.5 pounds (unloaded). This weight provides stability while still being light enough for easy carry in the field. Finish: The Vanguard is available in different finishes, including: Matte Blued: A non-reflective finish that provides a classic look and some corrosion resistance. Cerakote® Finish: Some models are coated with Cerakote® for superior corrosion resistance and durability in harsh environments. Uses: The Weatherby Vanguard in .308 Winchester is suitable for a variety of shooting applications: Big Game Hunting: Ideal for hunting medium to large game such as deer, elk, and antelope.
