Vanguard Features
Exceptional Performance Is Standard.
Guaranteed Sub-Moa Accuracy
All Weatherby® Vanguard® rifles are guaranteed to shoot a 3-shot group of .99" or less at 100 yards (SUB-MOA) when used with Weatherby® factory or premium ammunition.
Monte Carlo Griptonite® Stock With Inserts
Provides lightweight and durable performance year after year. Combines modern synthetic materials with the legendary Weatherby® raised comb Monte Carlo design. Our special pistol and forend inserts provide a firm, non-slip grip, while a right side palm swell aids in control and shooter comfort (available on select Vanguard® rifles).
Match Quality, Two-Stage Trigger
"Creep free" for consistent let-off. Each trigger is hand-honed, factory-tuned and inspected for a clean, crisp break, improving shooter accuracy. Trigger housing is constructed of lightweight alloy and is fully adjustable down to 2.5 lbs.
Fully Enclosed Bolt Sleeve
Redirects high-pressure gases and brass particles in the event of a case rupture or pierced primer. Shorter bolt sleeve helps to reduce overall weight.
Vanguard Recoil Pad
All Vanguard® rifles feature a specially-fit, low density recoil pad. This technologically superior material significantly reduces felt recoil.
Fluted Bolt Body
Longitudinal flutes reduce weight and bearing surface area, while eliminating binding for smooth action. Three gas ports allow high-pressure gases to escape laterally in the event of an accidental case rupture.
3-Position Safety
Middle position allows shooter to work the action while safety is still engaged.
Cold Hammer Forged Barrel
Maximizes consistency and produces SUB-MOA Guaranteed Accuracy when used with premium factory ammunition.
Integral Recoil Lug
One-piece machined receiver features integral recoil lug for the utmost in strength and structural integrity.
Hinged Floorplate
One-piece trigger guard with hinged floorplate provides easy access to unfired cartridges in the magazine.
One-Piece Machined Bolt Body
Provides maximum strength and structural integrity. The massive M-16-style extractor ensures reliable and positive extraction.

general reference only. It does not describe the specifications of this
particular item.
The 300 Winchester Magnum, introduced in 1963, was the last of Winchester's family of (nominally) 30-06-length belted magnums based on the shortened 300 H&H case. It followed the 458, 264, and 338 Winchester Magnums, but has an unusually short neck to maximize powder capacity. Initial reception was mixed; critics faulted the short neck, and it was caught up in Winchester's unpopular post-1964 manufacturing shift. It took time, but the 300 Winchester Magnum has not just survived but prospered. Today it is the world's most popular cartridge that wears a "magnum" suffix. It is manufactured by all ammunition manufacturers, chambered by all riflemakers who have a suitable platform, and often employed by military snipers in the Special Operations community. Though not the fastest "fast 30-caliber" it is fast, accurate, incredibly available, and well-suited to virtually all non-dangerous game hunting throughout the world.
