Weatherby Vanguard Firstlite Specter .308 Win Bolt Action Rifle, Firstlite Specter Camo - VFP308NR6B

Weatherby Vanguard First Lite Features 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 Weatherby Vanguard First Lite 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.
