The Weatherby Vanguard Obsidian delivers precision performance in the versatile 22-250 Remington caliber with a threaded barrel ready for suppressor attachment. This full-size bolt-action rifle combines proven Weatherby engineering with modern tactical features for hunters and precision shooters demanding accuracy and adaptability.
What Makes This Different
The Vanguard Obsidian features a factory-threaded muzzle with protective thread cap, eliminating the need for custom gunsmith work when adding suppressors or muzzle devices. The #2 contour barrel provides an optimal balance between rigidity for accuracy and weight management for field carry. The drilled and tapped receiver accepts standard scope mounts, while the synthetic Monte Carlo stock offers consistent cheek weld and weather resistance that wood stocks cannot match.
