Weatherby VTX65CMR2T Vanguard Obsidian Full Size 6.5 Creedmoor 4+1 22″ Blued #2 Contour Threaded Barrel, Blued Drilled & Tapped Steel Receiver, Black Monte Carlo Synthetic Stock

Description

The Weatherby Vanguard is a bolt action in 6.5mm Creedmoor with a 22" barrel, a 1:8 twist and 4-round capacity.

This barrel length is a common compromise: enough to develop most of the cartridge's velocity while staying manageable to carry. That is the standard twist for this cartridge, and it stabilizes the bullet weights most factory ammunition is loaded with. It ships without iron sights, so budget for an optic, rings and a base if you do not already have them.

The 6.5mm Creedmoor is commonly chosen for long-range target shooting and deer-sized game. It became the default precision cartridge because it delivers high-BC bullets with modest recoil and good barrel life.

This is a serialized firearm. It ships to a licensed dealer near you rather than to your door, and you complete the transfer there with a Form 4473 and a background check. State and local rules govern what can be shipped where, so check yours before ordering – and if you are unsure, ask us first.

The Weatherby Vanguard sets the standard for accuracy with its SUB-MOA guarantee. The balanced feel of the Obsidian ensures a smooth shooting experience every time. Features a cold hammer forged, threaded barrel; two-stage, match grade trigger; 3-position safety; M16 style extractor and a weather resistant Monte Carlo synthetic stock with a raised comb.
