The Weatherby Vanguard Compact rifle in 7mm-08 Remington with a 20-inch threaded barrel (brand part no.

Weatherby backs the rifle with its SUB-MOA accuracy guarantee, and a cold hammer-forged barrel with a fluted, one-piece machined bolt body delivers smooth, reliable cycling. The adjustable match-quality two-stage trigger gives a clean, predictable break, and the mild-recoiling 7mm-08 cartridge makes this configuration especially approachable for new hunters.
