Weatherby Vanguard Obsidian | .308 Win | 22″ | VTX308NR2T

The Weatherby Vanguard Obsidian is a full-size bolt-action sporting rifle chambered in .308 Winchester designed for consistent accuracy from a weather-resistant synthetic stock. It pairs a 22″ threaded barrel with a 5-round hinged floorplate magazine and a user-focused ergonomics package that supports steady follow-up shots. For optics, a scope such as the Vortex Viper PST Gen II 3-15×44 (priced under $1000) is a capable match for this rifle, delivering a useful magnification range for medium-range hunting and target work.

Typical applications for this rifle include medium-game hunting and precision field-target shooting where a durable, accurate bolt gun is required. The Obsidian’s synthetic stock and threaded barrel make it suitable for use in varied field conditions and with a variety of muzzle accessories.
