Weatherby Vanguard Obsidian 7mm PRC Rifle, 24-Inch Threaded Barrel

The Weatherby Vanguard Obsidian (Weatherby part no. VTX7MMPR4T) is a bolt-action centerfire rifle chambered in 7mm PRC, built around Weatherby’s classic Vanguard action and dressed in a black Monte Carlo synthetic stock for a stable, weather-resistant platform. Graphite black Cerakote covers the barrel, receiver, bolt, bolt knob, and safety, protecting the metalwork from rain, sweat, and rough handling in the field. The 24-inch threaded barrel is cut with a 1:8-inch twist to stabilize the heavy, long-range bullets 7mm PRC is built around, and the threaded muzzle accepts a brake or suppressor without a trip to the gunsmith. A three-round capacity and no factory sights keep the rifle light and ready for a scope, making it a straightforward pick for hunters who want a dedicated long-range PRC rig without a custom-shop price tag. Weatherby designed the Obsidian to handle challenging terrain and adverse weather without sacrificing the accuracy the Vanguard line is known for.
