Item # 224698 Style WTH-VFP308NR6B UPC 747115447022 Condition New Manufacturer [Weatherby](https://www.kygunco.com/brand/weatherby) Model Vanguard First Lite Hand Right Hand Finish FDE Round Capacity 4 Caliber 308 Win Action Bolt Action Barrel Length 26 in In the 1960's, Roy Weatherby recognized the need for a more affordable rifle that could chamber his signature magnum cartridges. Having just partnered with Howa to produce Mark V actions and seeing the precision and attention to detail that this Japanese manufacture provided, the Vanguard project was born. Starting with a Howa two-lug push-feed action, a number of Weatherby signature safety features were incorporated, including a fully shrouded bolt and three gas ports on the bolt body, both providing protection in the event of an ammunition failure. A hammer forged barrel brought both accuracy and longevity not typically seen in mass-produced cut-rifled barrels of the day, while the M-16 style extractor gives great purchase on the cartridge rim for consistent and reliable extraction. A fluted bolt body similar to the Mark V creates smoother operation when the rigors of the hunt leave the rifle dusty and dirty. The result was a smooth-running push-feed capable of handling Weatherby Magnums at a price more Americans could afford. The modern Vanguard carries a Sub-MOA accuracy guarantee and ships with a crisp two-stage trigger, making it what feels like what's the best value in the rifle market today. A Monte Carlo stock provides lightweight and durable performance year after year. Its one-piece forged and machined receiver features integral recoil lug for the utmost in strength and structural integrity. One-piece trigger guard with hinged floorplate provides easy access to unfired cartridges in the magazine. The Vanguard rifle also features a specially-fit, low density recoil pad. This technologically superior material significantly reduces felt recoil. Lastly, the three-position safety allows shooter to work the action while safety is still engaged. The Vanguard First Lite features a Monte Carlo design, complete with a right-side palm swell and textured forearm and grip areas, is appointed with innovative First Lite Specter camo a proprietary mix of crackalature shapes and colors derived through nature-based algorithms and oriented for macro and micro disruption. - Action: Bolt - Caliber: 308 Win - Barrel Length: 26" - Capacity: 4+1 - Trigger: Adjustable Two-Stage Match - Safety: Three-Position - OAL: 46.50" - Weight: 7.15 lbs - Stock Description: Fixed Monte Carlo - Twist: 1:10" - Barrel Description: 26" Fluted - Muzzle: Accubrake - Receiver Material: Steel - Sights: Drilled & Tapped - Barrel Length Range: 26" to 26.99" - Weight Range: 7 lbs to 7.99 lbs - Hand: Right - Stock Finish Group: Natural Camouflage ** WARNING: This product contains chemicals known to the State of California to cause cancer, birth defects, or other reproductive harm.
