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 Weatherguard offers Cerakote protection. Its composite Monte Carlo Griptonite stock features pistol grip and forend inserts and a right side palm swell to aid in control and shooter comfort. The chrome-moly metalwork has a Cerakote Tactical Gray finish for exceptional weather and corrosion-resistance, including the cold hammer-forged barrel with a #2 contour.

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 6.5 Precision Rifle Cartridge (PRC) is one of the newest cartridges from a major manufacturer, introduced by Hornady in 2017. Based on Hornady's .375 Ruger/Ruger Compact Magnum unbelted case, the 6.5 PRC requires a .532-inch bolt face, same as standard belted magnums. With a 2.030-inch case it can be housed in short bolt actions, and case length allows use of long-for-caliber 6.5mm bullets. Obviously it trades on the success of the 6.5mm Creedmoor, and also on the renewed interest in the ranging abilities of the 6.5mm (.264-inch) bullet diameter. Interestingly, ballistics are similar to the old .264 Win Mag introduced back in 1958 with a 140-grain bullet at almost 3000 fps It is thus faster than the Creedmoor and .260 Rem, but much slower than new super-fast 6.5mms like the 26 Nosler and 6.5-300 Weatherby Mag With its modern case design it is seems almost certain to find favor with the growing number of long-range shooters!
