Weatherby Vanguard Obsidian .30-06 Rifle, 22-inch Threaded Barrel

The Weatherby Vanguard Obsidian in .30-06 Springfield (brand part no. VTX306SR2T) puts one of the most versatile big-game cartridges in history behind Weatherby’s SUB-MOA accuracy guarantee. The cold hammer-forged, threaded barrel and two-stage, match-grade trigger work together for consistent, repeatable accuracy shot after shot, while an M16-style extractor adds an extra layer of reliability. The weather-resistant Monte Carlo synthetic stock features a raised comb for a natural cheek weld with a scope mounted, and a 3-position safety keeps the rifle quiet to operate in a hunting stand. With over a century of proven performance across every North American game species, .30-06 remains a smart, do-it-all chambering.
