The Weatherby Vanguard Synthetic Compact is a bolt-action sporting rifle chambered in .308 Win with a 20-inch bead-blasted, blued, threaded barrel and a compact synthetic stock. Its injection-molded composite stock includes a removable spacer to adjust length of pull, making the rifle suitable for growing shooters and those who prefer a shorter fit. The rifle features an adjustable, match-quality two-stage trigger, a fluted and machined bolt body, a 3-position safety, and a hinged floorplate for controlled unloading.
