In the 1960s Roy Weatherby recognized the need for a more affordable rifle that could chamber his signature magnum cartridges. Having just partnered with Howa to produce Mark V actions and seeing the precision and attention to detail that this Japanese manufacture provided the Vanguard project was born. Starting with a Howa twolug pushfeed action a number of Weatherby signature safety features were incorporated including a fully shrouded bolt and three gas ports on the bolt body both providing protection in the event of an ammunition failure. A hammer forged barrel brought both accuracy and longevity not typically seen in massproduced cutrifled barrels of the day while the M16 style extractor gives great purchase on the cartridge rim for consistent and reliable extraction. A fluted bolt body similar to the Mark V creates smoother operation when the rigors of the hunt leave the rifle dusty and dirty. The result was a smoothrunning pushfeed capable of handling Weatherby Magnums at a price more Americans could afford. The modern Vanguard carries a SubMOA accuracy guarantee and ships with a crisp twostage trigger making it what feels like whats the best value in the rifle market today. A Monte Carlo stock provides lightweight and durable performance year after year. Its onepiece forged and machined receiver features integral recoil lug for the utmost in strength and structural integrity.
