The Weatherby Vanguard Weatherguard Bronze .22-250 Remington is a bolt-action hunting rifle (brand part no. VWB222RR4T) that pairs the sub-MOA Vanguard action with a burnt bronze Cerakote finish. Weatherby hand fits each rifle and tops the 24-inch barrel with a 1/2×28 thread pattern, so a muzzle device mounts without gunsmithing. A Monte Carlo polymer stock with bronze webbing gives the rifle its look, and the raised comb helps keep your eye lined up behind a scope. With the fast-handling .22-250 Remington chambering, it suits varmint and predator work as well as a general-purpose walking rifle.
