Weatherby Vanguard Obsidian | .270 Win | 24 in | VTX270NR4T

The Weatherby Vanguard Obsidian is a full-size bolt-action rifle chambered in .270 Winchester with a 24-inch threaded barrel and a black Monte Carlo synthetic stock. It ships with a 5-round magazine in a hinged floorplate configuration and is built to provide a stable, weather-resistant platform suitable for field use. The action features Weatherby-design elements noted for consistent lockup and repeatable accuracy.

For optics, this rifle pairs well with a mid- to high-magnification scope such as the Vortex Viper HS‑T 4-16×44, which offers the zoom range and clarity appropriate for .270 Winchester performance at typical hunting and long-range sporting distances and is priced well under $1,000.
