The Weatherby Vanguard Badlands is a bolt-action sporting rifle chambered in 6.5 PRC with a 24 inch threaded barrel finished in Burnt Bronze Cerakote and fitted with a Badlands Approach camo synthetic Monte Carlo stock. It is designed to blend into varied terrain while offering the features hunters and precision shooters expect, including a match-quality adjustable two-stage trigger and a fluted, machined bolt body.
