Weatherby Vanguard Deluxe with Leupold VX-II 3-9X40 Scope 7mm Remington Magnum 24" 3+1 Walnut Stock Blued High Polish
Let’s talk about family heirlooms – those things that are handed down from generation to generation because they’re just too special to part with. When you own me, you’re not just getting yourself a rifle. It’ll go on to a son or daughter, then on to theirs, and so on. Everyone down the line will appreciate all the same things: My AA-grade Claro walnut, fineline checkering, rosewood accents and most importantly, the legendary Weatherby accuracy of my Vanguard action and 24” cold hammer-forged barrel.

Weatherby's Vanguard rifles are guaranteed to shoot a 3-shot group of .99"
or less at 100 yards (SUB-MOA) from a cold barrel when used with Weatherby
factory or premium ammunition. Vanguard rifles are equipped with a match
quality, two-stage trigger (adjustable down to 2.5 lbs.) and a 3-position
safety, with the middle position allowing the shooter to work the action
while safety is still engaged. The Vanguard action incorporates a one-piece
machined bolt body, fluted for reduction in 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, and the massive M-16-style extractor ensures reliable and positive
extraction. Vanguard rifles have a one-piece machined receiver featuring an
integral recoil lug for the utmost in strength and structural integrity,
along with a one-piece trigger guard with a hinged floorplate for easy
access to unfired cartridges in the magazine. The Vanguard Deluxe model
offers traditional styling while maintaining Vanguard's dependable
accuracy. The raised comb Monte Carlo stock is made of AA grade Claro
walnut and features rosewood forend and grip caps with maplewood spacers,
fineline checkering, and a high gloss finish. The chrome-moly metalwork has
a high lustre blued finish.
This model has a 24" cold hammer-forged barrel
with a #2 contour and comes with a Leupold VX2 3-9x40mm scope with a Duplex
reticle.
The information below comes from our Gun Caliber Dictionary and is for
general reference only. It does not describe the specifications of this
particular item.
The 7mm Remington Magnum was introduced in 1962 in the new Remington Model 700 bolt-action. Gunwriters Les Bowman, Warren Page, and others had been clamoring for a fast 7mm, and the Remington's "Big Seven" was the answer. Except the very similar 275 H&H dates to 1912, and the 7mm Weatherby Magnum to 1944. No matter; the 7mm Remington Magnum was a huge success. Viewed as more versatile, it blew the 264 Winchester Magnum off the market and went on to become the world's most popular "magnum" cartridge. Though since surpassed in this role by the 300 Winchester Magnum, the 7mm Remington Magnum remains a world-standard hunting cartridge, adequate for game up to elk and moose, flat-shooting, and able to achieve meaningful velocities with bullets up to 175 grains--but with less recoil than the fast .30-calibers. Most firearms manufacturers chamber to it, and the selection of factory loads is rich and varied.
