The Weatherby Vanguard Obsidian Rifle in 6.5 PRC (brand part no. VTX65PPR0T) is an all-black bolt-action hunting rifle with a handy 20-inch threaded barrel. The barrel is cold hammer forged and ready for a suppressor or muzzle brake, and the 1:8 twist suits the heavy-for-caliber bullets the 6.5 PRC is known for. Weatherby backs it with a sub-MOA accuracy guarantee and a two-stage trigger that adjusts down to 2.5 pounds. A weather-resistant synthetic Monte Carlo stock makes it a practical choice for deer, hogs and long-range practice.
