The Weatherby Vanguard Obsidian 7mm PRC is a bolt-action hunting rifle with a 24-inch cold hammer-forged barrel threaded 1/2-28 for a suppressor or muzzle brake (Weatherby part no. VTX7MMPR4T). Weatherby gives the Obsidian a blued barrel, receiver and bolt and a black polymer Monte Carlo stock with a raised comb. The two-stage trigger adjusts down to 2.5 pounds, and the receiver has an integral recoil lug and a fully enclosed bolt sleeve. A 1:8 twist and a 3+1 magazine make it a practical long-range rifle for elk, mule deer and other western big game. It is the plain black-and-blued workhorse of the Vanguard line.
