The Weatherby Vanguard Black Hills .223 Remington Rifle (brand part no. VBS223RR6B) is a bolt-action rifle with a 24-inch cold hammer-forged barrel. The barrel is threaded and ships with a muzzle brake, giving you a choice of running the brake or fitting a suppressor. Weatherby adds a Picatinny rail on the action, an Arca/Pic rail on the forend and a weather-resistant synthetic Monte Carlo stock with a hand-painted finish. It is a sub-MOA guaranteed rifle for the range, the fence line and coyote season.

Key Specifications

• The chambering is .223 Remington, a flat-shooting, low-recoil cartridge for varmints, predators and practice.
• The barrel is 24 inches, cold hammer forged, which supports the guaranteed sub-MOA accuracy.
• The barrel is threaded 1/2 x 28, ready for a suppressor or other muzzle device.
• A muzzle brake is included with the rifle, which adds 2 inches to the 24-inch barrel and reduces recoil.
• Capacity is 5+1 rounds in a bolt-action rifle, enough for a day of varmint hunting.

• The stock is a weather-resistant synthetic Monte Carlo design with a raised comb and hand-painted sponge finish.
