The Weatherby Vanguard WeatherGuard rifle in .223 Remington with a 24-inch bronze barrel and black Griptonite stock (brand part no. VWB223RR4T) gives varmint hunters a durable, weather-resistant bolt gun built on the proven Vanguard action. Weatherby shapes the synthetic Monte Carlo stock for consistent cheek weld, and the hinged floorplate lets shooters unload quickly without cycling rounds through the action. The 1-in-9-inch twist rate suits common .223 Remington bullet weights, and swivel studs come standard for the field.
