Weatherby incorporated a range of signature safety features in the Vanguard model, emphasizing both security and durability. One of the key elements of the Vanguard is its two-lug bolt action system, which is designed for smooth operation and reliability. The fully shrouded bolt includes three gas ports on the bolt body, providing protection in the event of an ammunition failure. This feature serves as an extra layer of safety, ensuring that any potential hazards from a cartridge malfunction are safely vented. In line with Weatherby's commitment to safety, the recessed bolt face in the Vanguard is designed to protrude into the breech, fully encapsulating the cartridge. This unique design feature further enhances the rifle’s overall safety by minimizing the risk of cartridge misfires or accidental discharges.
The Vanguard also boasts a hammer-forged barrel, a feature that brings both exceptional accuracy and impressive longevity. Unlike the cut-rifled barrels commonly used in mass-produced rifles of the day, the hammer-forged barrel offers a higher level of precision and extended durability. This ensures that the rifle will perform consistently over time, maintaining its accuracy even after years of use. Furthermore, the M-16 style extractor gives the Vanguard reliable and consistent cartridge extraction. This extractor provides a firm grip on the cartridge rim, ensuring that spent casings are smoothly and reliably ejected after each shot. The Weatherby Vanguard in .30-06 is not only known for its engineering and safety features but also its elegant appearance and craftsmanship. It is equipped with a 24-inch barrel, a perfect length for maintaining a balance between accuracy and maneuverability in various hunting scenarios. The rifle features a mounted Leupold 2x7 Vari-X II scope, offering shooters exceptional clarity and precision at various distances, further enhancing the rifle’s effectiveness in the field.
The stock of the Vanguard is a beautiful, checkered Tiger Walnut design, finished in full-gloss for an elegant appearance. The addition of rosewood accents on both the forend cap and the grip cap, coupled with maplewood spacers, gives the rifle a touch of refinement that stands out. These design elements not only contribute to the aesthetic appeal but also provide a comfortable and secure grip, ensuring better control during use. The Weatherby Vanguard is built with a bolt-action system, delivering reliable performance and precise shooting with every pull of the trigger, making it a highly regarded rifle among enthusiasts and professionals alike.
