The Weatherby Vanguard Synthetic Compact .350 Legend Rifle, 20-Inch Barrel (Weatherby part no. VYT350NR0O) is the compact Vanguard in .350 Legend, built around a 20-inch bead-blasted barrel and an injection-molded composite stock. A removable stock spacer adjusts the length of pull from 12.5 to 13.625 inches, so the rifle fits a younger or smaller shooter and then grows with them. Weatherby gives it a cold hammer forged barrel, a two-stage trigger and a 3-position safety like the rest of the Vanguard family. The finish is matte, bead-blasted blue. It is a practical first deer rifle for a family that wants one rifle to fit several shooters.
