The Weatherby Vanguard Outfitter in 6.5-300 Weatherby Magnum (brand part no. VHH653WR8B) builds on the Vanguard action’s 50-plus year reputation for a safe, robust design anchored by an integral recoil lug. An updated Cerakote finish and hand-sponge painted stock give this Outfitter a rugged, high-country look, while a 26-inch spiral-fluted, threaded barrel and Accubrake muzzle brake tame recoil from one of Weatherby’s flattest-shooting magnum cartridges. A crisp two-stage trigger, 3-position safety, and M16-style extractor round out a rifle purpose-built for hunters chasing game at extended range.
