Weatherby Vanguard VWB65PPR4T | 6.5 PRC | 24-inch

The Weatherby Vanguard Weatherguard Bronze is a purpose-built bolt-action rifle chambered in 6.5 PRC, finished in burnt bronze Cerakote and fitted with a hand-sprayed polymer Monte Carlo stock. Weatherby supplies a SUB-MOA accuracy guarantee on Vanguard rifles when used with Weatherby factory or premium ammunition within two years of verified purchase, and this model carries that same standard. The rifle pairs field-capable durability with features aimed at accurate, repeatable performance for hunts and precision work.

For optics, a versatile magnification scope such as the Vortex Viper PST Gen II 5-25×50 (commonly available under $1,000) is a suitable match for the 24-inch, 6.5 PRC configuration and will support extended-range shot placement without overmating the platform. Typical applications include medium- to long-range hunting and precision target work.
