There is an old saying that all anybody really needs is a good dog and a good rifle. There is some profound truth in this that we can all connect with. A company that has been giving us great rifles for 80 years is Weatherby. Their rifles have been as popular with big game hunters as they are with recreational shooters. They are now adding to their lineup with the Vanguard Black Hills.

80 Years of Rifle Experience -The Vanguard Black Hills
Inspired by the rugged terrain and untamed spirit of the Black Hills, this rifle performs exceptionally in harsh environments, delivering precision when it counts. With a SUB-MOA guarantee from the cold hammer-forged barrel, the Black Hills edition provides consistent accuracy straight out of the box. Each rifle features the time-tested Vanguard action, a match-grade two-stage trigger, a three-position safety, and an integral recoil lug, ensuring it lasts a lifetime. I particularly appreciate the three-position safety when hunting. The third position locks the firing mechanism while allowing the bolt to be operated normally. This feature enables you to safely unload the rifle by cycling the rounds in the magazine without risking an accidental discharge.

Ergonomic Stock
The ergonomically shaped Monte Carlo synthetic stock features a hand-painted design crafted in Sheridan, Wyoming. Built to resist weather conditions, this stock ensures reliable performance across various terrains and forecasts. For added versatility, the Black Hills includes Peak 44’s Picatinny JRAIL mounted on the action for your favorite optic, along with a Peak 44 Arca/Pic Adapter on the forend, providing flexible options for bipods, tripods, or other attachments. The threaded barrel and included Accubrake ST complete a well-designed rifle platform. This approach by Weatherby capitalizes on the growing popularity of suppressors, especially among hunters.

Vanguard Black Hills
Available in 17 different calibers and two-barrel contours, there’s a configuration for every hunter and shooter. Whether you’re navigating the high desert, dense timber, or open prairie, the Vanguard Black Hills is ready to go wherever the hunt takes you. With an affordable MSRP of $769, it’s a lot of rifle at a price that won’t break the bank.
