Weatherby Vanguard Black Hills | 6.5 PRC | 20 in.

The Weatherby Vanguard Black Hills is a bolt-action rifle built for precision and durability in variable field conditions. Its weather-resistant synthetic Monte Carlo stock and matte blued metalwork provide a stable, low-maintenance platform for accurate shooting. The Black Hills edition ships with Picatinny mounting and a Peak 44 Arca/Pic adapter on the fore-end, enabling versatile accessory setups. For optics, a Vortex Viper HS-T 4-16×44 (well under $1,000) is a capable match for the Vanguard’s long-range potential.
