Weatherby Vanguard Obsidian 223 Rem 20" Heavy Threaded Barrel Rifle

The Weatherby Vanguard Obsidian 223 Rem delivers exceptional accuracy potential with its heavy contour threaded barrel and proven SUB-MOA guarantee. This precision rifle combines Weatherby's legendary craftsmanship with practical features for serious shooters demanding consistent performance.

What Makes This Different

The heavy 20-inch barrel provides superior heat dissipation and reduced harmonic vibration compared to standard contour barrels, resulting in tighter shot groups. The threaded muzzle accepts suppressors and muzzle devices with standard 1/2x28 threading. Weatherby's two-lug action cycles faster than traditional three-lug designs while maintaining the strength needed for high-pressure cartridges.

The 223 Remington chambering handles everything from varmint hunting to precision target shooting with minimal recoil and excellent barrel life. The heavy barrel configuration maintains accuracy during extended shooting sessions by resisting heat-induced point-of-impact shifts. The Monte Carlo stock design provides proper cheek weld for scope use while the textured surfaces ensure secure grip in various conditions.
