Weatherby Vanguard Obsidian 7mm PRC 24" 3rd Rifle

The 7mm PRC is one of the hottest new hunting cartridges going, and the Vanguard Obsidian is one of the easiest ways to get into it. This rifle pairs a 24 inch #2 contour cold hammer forged barrel, threaded 1/2-28, with blued metalwork and a black synthetic Monte Carlo stock with a raised comb. The receiver is drilled and tapped for scope bases.

The PRC's long, heavy bullets carry energy well past where most deer cartridges run out, and the 24 inch barrel gives them the velocity to do it. Recoil is real, so the threaded muzzle is welcome if you plan to add a brake or suppressor. The Vanguard action feeds from a 3 round internal magazine with a hinged floorplate, and you get a two stage match grade trigger, a 3 position safety and an M16 style extractor. Weatherby's sub MOA accuracy guarantee covers it. It makes a solid elk and mule deer rifle for hunters who want long range capability without paying for a custom build.
