Weatherby Vanguard Badlands 6.5mm Creedmoor Rifle

The Weatherby Vanguard Badlands 6.5mm Creedmoor is a bolt-action rifle from Weatherby (brand part no. VAP65CMR2T), finished in the Badlands Approach camo pattern for hunters who need to blend into varied terrain. Its adaptive coloration and multi-layer pattern break up the rifle’s outline in the field, while the threaded 22-inch cold hammer forged barrel accepts a brake or suppressor. A fast 1-in-8-inch twist stabilizes the heavier bullets 6.5mm Creedmoor shooters favor for long-range work, and at roughly 7.5 lbs it carries comfortably on all-day hunts. It is a strong option for backcountry deer and elk hunters who want camo concealment paired with long-range capability.
