Weatherby Vanguard Obsidian | 6.5 PRC | 20 in | VTX65PPR0T

The Weatherby Vanguard Obsidian is a bolt-action rifle built around a weather-resistant Monte Carlo synthetic stock and a threaded 20-inch barrel. Its ergonomic stock and two-stage adjustable match trigger are designed to support deliberate, precise shots from field positions or a bench. The Obsidian’s drilled-and-tapped receiver accepts optics, and a mid-range scope such as the Vortex Crossfire II 3-12×44 pairs well for precision work under $1000. Recommended uses include long-range precision hunting and target/precision rifle practice.
