Weatherby Vanguard First Lite Bolt Action Rifle 30-06 Springfield 24" Barrel 3 Round Capacity Monte Carlo Synthetic Specter Camouflage Stock Flat Dark Earth Cerakote Finish
The Weatherby Vanguard First Lite is a bolt-action rifle chambered in .30-06 Springfield, and is designed for hunting and long-range shooting. It features a 24 inch barrel and a three-round capacity, and comes with a Monte Carlo synthetic Specter camouflage stock and a flat dark earth Cerakote finish.
The Vanguard First Lite is built on Weatherby's Vanguard action, which is known for its accuracy and reliability. The rifle has a two-stage trigger, which can be adjusted to the shooter's preference, and a three-position safety that allows the shooter to cycle the action while the safety is engaged.
The stock of the Vanguard First Lite is made from a high-quality synthetic material, and is designed with a Monte Carlo comb that allows the shooter to get a comfortable and consistent cheek weld. The Specter camouflage pattern provides excellent concealment in a wide range of hunting environments, while the flat dark earth Cerakote finish adds durability and protection against the elements.
The rifle also features a free-floated barrel, which allows the barrel to vibrate freely and reduces the effects of harmonics on accuracy. Additionally, the Vanguard First Lite comes with a Pachmayr Decelerator recoil pad, which helps to absorb recoil and makes the rifle more comfortable to shoot.
Overall, the Weatherby Vanguard First Lite is a high-quality and reliable rifle that is well-suited for hunting and long-range shooting. Its combination of accuracy, reliability, and durability, along with the Specter camouflage and Cerakote finish, make it an excellent choice for those who demand the best from their hunting rifle.

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.
Properly "Caliber 30 Model of 1906," the 30-06 was developed at Springfield Armory for the 1903 Springfield rifle. The original 1903 cartridge, though very similar, used a round-nosed 220-grain bullet; the 1906 version used a 150-grain spitzer bullet with a slightly shorter case neck and case length of 2.494-inches. The 30-06, in Springfield, 1917 Enfield, and M1 Garand rifles, remained America's service cartridge through the Korean War. It was the most powerful cartridge ever adopted by a major military, and over time became America's most popular hunting cartridge. Today there are many good choices, but the 30-06 remains extremely popular throughout the world, suited for most North American big game and equally effective for African plains game. The most common standard loads today feature: 150-grain bullet at 2910 feet per second; 165-grain bullet at 2800 fps; and 180-grain bullet at 2700 fps. Choices in both rifles and ammunition are almost limitless.
