Weatherby’s popular Vanguard® Series 2 Synthetic rifle now comes in a hunting-ready package including a mounted and boresighted Redfield® Revenge™ riflescope, sling and carrying case.

Like all Vanguard Series 2 rifles, the Synthetic is guaranteed to shoot SUB-MOA (a three-shot group of .99-inch or less) with Weatherby factory or premium ammunition. The 3-9x42mm Redfield Revenge scope has a 4-plex reticle and matte finish, and is fixed solidly atop the rifle with Talley-designed Weatherby Vanguard mounts.  An adjustable nylon sling and injection-molded scoped rifle case complete the package.

“Our new Vanguard Series 2 Synthetic Package is a tremendous value for hunters,” said company President Ed Weatherby.  “The quality and performance are outstanding as well, especially considering the written SUB-MOA accuracy guarantee.”

All Vanguard Series 2 rifles feature a match quality, two-stage trigger and a 3-position safety.  The trigger has an auxiliary sear for a “creep free” consistent let-off and pre-set sear engagement at .008-.012.  It is adjustable for weight of pull down to 2.5 pounds. 

The Vanguard Series 2 Synthetic’s stock has the traditional Weatherby profile that allows quick eye-to-scope alignment and fast target acquisition.  Special Griptonite™ pistol grip and forend inserts provide a firm non-slip grip, and a right-side palm swell helps improve handling and control.  The 24-inch #2 contour cold hammer forged barrel has a matte bead blasted blued finish. 

Vanguard Series 2 Synthetic Package caliber options range from .223 Remington to .338 Winchester Mag.,  including the .257 Wby. Mag. and .300 Wby. Mag.  Manufacturer’s suggested retail price is $999.
