Weatherby VTX223RR4T Vanguard Obsidian Full Size 223 Rem 5+1 24″ Blued #2 Contour Threaded Barrel, Blued Drilled & Tapped Steel Receiver, Black Monte Carlo Synthetic Stock

Description

The Weatherby Vanguard is a bolt action in .223 REM/5.56 NATO with a 24" barrel, a 1:9 twist and 5-round capacity.

A long barrel gives the cartridge room to build velocity, at the cost of handling in tight spaces and some added weight. That is slower than the usual twist for this cartridge, so it favors lighter bullets; very heavy projectiles may not stabilize. It ships without iron sights, so budget for an optic, rings and a base if you do not already have them.

The .223 REM is commonly chosen for varmints, predators and target work. Cheap, widely available and light on recoil, which makes it an easy cartridge to shoot well.

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.
