The Weatherby Vanguard Black Hills .300 Wby Mag Rifle is a bolt-action rifle chambered in .300 Weatherby Magnum, set up with a 24-inch barrel threaded 1/2-28 and a factory muzzle brake muzzle brake (brand part no. VBS300WR6B). Weatherby builds the Vanguard Black Hills with a weather-resistant synthetic Monte Carlo stock hand-painted in Sheridan, Wyoming, a matte blued finish and a cold hammer forged barrel. A Peak 44 Picatinny rail sits on the action and an Arca/Pic rail on the forend, so optics and accessories mount without fuss. It holds 3+1 rounds with a 1-in-10 twist, a good fit for hunters who want a suppressor-ready muzzle or the included brake.
