Weatherby Vanguard Arctic Pro 243 Win 22" White Rifle

This is the middle of the Arctic Pro lineup: a 22 inch cold hammer forged barrel on a Vanguard action, white Cerakote over the metal, and a synthetic Monte Carlo stock hand painted in an arctic camo pattern. Weatherby backs the action with a SUB-MOA accuracy guarantee and hangs a match grade trigger off it. The Peak 44 hardware is the part shooters notice first. A 20 MOA Picatinny rail on the receiver gives a long range scope room to work, and the ARCA and Picatinny forend rail takes a bipod without an adapter.

243 Win is the cartridge people hand to a new hunter and then keep shooting themselves. It kills deer cleanly, it wrecks coyotes, and it does both with recoil a teenager can tolerate. The 22 inch barrel keeps the rifle balanced and quick to the shoulder in a stand or a blind. Muzzle threads sit under the included brake, so moving to a suppressor is a two minute job. Between the trigger, the rails and the accuracy guarantee, there is not much left to buy before hunting season.
