Weatherby Vanguard Black Hills | .223 Rem/5.56 NATO | 24 in

The Weatherby Vanguard Black Hills is a bolt-action rifle built for reliable accuracy and rugged field use. It pairs a cold hammer-forged, threaded 24-inch barrel with a weather-resistant synthetic Monte Carlo stock finished in black with hand-painted green and tan. The rifle is optics-ready with a Picatinny rail on the receiver and a Peak 44 Arca/Pic adapter on the forend to support a variety of mounting setups. For a rifle of this type, a versatile scope such as the Vortex Viper PST 2.5-10×44 (commonly available under $1000) provides a balance of magnification and clarity for the cartridges this platform uses.
