The Weatherby Vanguard Black Hills .22-250 Rem is a bolt-action varmint and hunting rifle with a 24-inch cold hammer-forged barrel, threaded 1/2-28 and fitted with a muzzle brake (brand part no. VBS222RR6B). The black polymer Monte Carlo stock is hand-painted with green and tan sponge accents, and Peak 44 accessories add an optics-ready Picatinny rail on the action and an Arca/Pic rail on the foreend. A two-stage trigger adjustable down to 2.5 pounds and a 3-position safety round out a rifle that Weatherby guarantees to shoot sub-MOA. For prairie varmint work or deer-season use, it is a capable Weatherby value.
