The 26 in. non-fluted sporter barrel and 1:10 RH twist are well-matched to .300 Win. Mag., and the matte blued finish provides a clean, traditional look. The receiver is drilled and tapped with filler screws in place, and the rifle is configured without open sights.
The Vanguard action is a push-feed design with a bolt head featuring two opposed locking lugs and a plunger ejector. A three-position safety lever marked S • I • F provides clear control status. The internal box magazine uses a hinged floorplate and offers a 3+1 capacity in this long-action magnum configuration.
The wood stock follows Weatherby's Sporter pattern with a Monte Carlo comb and raised cheekpiece, enhancing alignment behind optics. Functional details include crisp checkering, a recoil pad, and installed sling swivel studs. Length of pull measures 13.5 in.
This example carries clear factory markings: WEATHERBY • SHERIDAN WY, MADE IN JAPAN • HOWA, and VANGUARD. The barreled action is produced by Howa in Japan with Weatherby performing final assembly in Wyoming, and the bolt assembly is scribed with the last three digits on the handle to match the rifle.
