The Weatherby Vanguard Compact Hunter rifle in .308 Winchester (brand part no. VYH308NR2B) is built to grow with a young or smaller-framed shooter through an adjustable length of pull, while still delivering the SUB-MOA accuracy Weatherby backs on every Vanguard. Weatherby pairs a cold hammer forged 20-inch #1 contour barrel with a fluted, one-piece machined bolt body and a fully enclosed bolt sleeve, and the injection-molded composite stock uses a removable spacer to adjust length of pull between 12.5 and 13.625 inches. A 3-position safety, an adjustable match-quality two-stage trigger, and a hinged floorplate round out a rifle designed for hunters raising the next generation. Among bolt-action rifles in the bolt action rifles category, this Vanguard Compact Hunter favors youth and compact-framed shooters.
