The Weatherby Vanguard Weathguard (brand part no. VWB306SR2T) is a bolt-action rifle chambered in .30-06 Springfield and built by Weatherby as an affordable, weather-ready entry into the Vanguard line. A 22-inch threaded barrel is finished in a bronze-toned Cerakote over a black synthetic stock, giving the rifle corrosion resistance well beyond a standard blued finish. The .30-06 chambering keeps ammunition easy to find for hunters chasing anything from deer to elk. A 3-position safety adds a bolt-locked setting for extra peace of mind when moving through the field.
