Weatherby VTX7M8RR2T Vanguard Obsidian | 7mm-08 22″

The Weatherby Vanguard Obsidian is a full-size bolt-action rifle chambered in 7mm-08 Remington that emphasizes a balanced feel and precision potential. It pairs well with a mid-to-high magnification riflescope; a Vortex Viper HS-T 4-16×44 would be a practical optic under $1,000 that complements the platform for medium-game hunting and precision target shooting. The Obsidian’s black Monte Carlo synthetic stock and threaded 22″ barrel make it suitable for use in variable weather and field conditions.
