The Weatherby Vanguard Badlands .308 Winchester Rifle, 22-Inch Threaded Barrel, Burnt Bronze Cerakote (Weatherby part no. VAP308NR2T) is the Vanguard Badlands in .308 Winchester, the first production rifle to wear Badlands Approach camo. Weatherby pairs a polymer Monte Carlo stock in that pattern with a Burnt Bronze Cerakote barrel, receiver and trigger guard. The 22-inch barrel is threaded 1/2-28, so a muzzle device or suppressor adapter of that pitch fits. A cold hammer forged barrel, a two-stage trigger and the 3-position safety carry over from the Vanguard platform. It is a camo-stocked hunting rifle for shooters who want a rugged metal finish.
