The Vanguard Black Hills series pairs Weatherby’s Vanguard action with Howa’s Japanese manufacturing, noted here by the receiver marking Made in Japan Howa. The action includes an integral recoil lug, a fully enclosed bolt sleeve, and a right-hand bolt with a 3-position safety. The internal box magazine holds five rounds and is serviced via a hinged floorplate release.
The 24 inch barrel is cold hammer-forged with a sporter contour, matte finish, and a threaded muzzle (thread pitch not specified). This setup offers practical compatibility with common muzzle devices while maintaining a balanced field profile.
The synthetic Monte Carlo stock features a raised comb, textured grip panels, and a rubber recoil pad, with sling swivel studs installed. Its black, tan, and green brush-camo pattern is hand-painted in Sheridan, Wyoming, giving the rifle a distinctive, purpose-driven look.
Accuracy is backed by Weatherby’s factory SUB-MOA guarantee. The rifle ships with a match-grade two-stage trigger and arrives with the Peak 44 mounting ecosystem installed, including a receiver Picatinny rail and a forend Arca/Pic adapter for flexible accessory mounting.
