The Weatherby Vanguard Outfitter .223 Remington Rifle, 24-Inch Threaded Barrel, Muzzle Brake (Weatherby part no. VHH223RR6B) is a .223 Remington bolt-action rifle with a 24-inch barrel. Weatherby builds the Vanguard Outfitter as a bolt-action hunting rifle in graphite black Cerakote, with a tan polymer Monte Carlo stock and hand-applied brown and white sponge paint. The barrel is spiral fluted and threaded, and a muzzle brake comes fitted from the factory. A cold hammer-forged barrel and a two-stage trigger adjustable down to 2.5 pounds support the Sub-MOA accuracy guarantee Weatherby gives with its factory or premium ammunition. The 3-position safety lets you unload the rifle with the bolt locked, which suits long days in the high country.
