Weatherby VDT223RR4T Vanguard Sporter | 223 Rem | 24 in

The Weatherby Vanguard Sporter VDT223RR4T is a full-size bolt-action sporting rifle that combines Weatherby accuracy standards with a traditional walnut Monte Carlo stock. It is offered with a 24-inch cold hammer-forged barrel and a matte bead-blasted blued metal finish. The rifle is designed for precision-oriented shooting and field use where a lightweight, accurate .223 platform is desired. For optics under $1,000, a Vortex Viper HS-T 4-16×44 would be an appropriate pairing that balances magnification, glass quality, and durability for the Vanguard Sporter.
