Description
This is the Weatherby Vanguard Obsidian in .30-06 with a 22-inch threaded barrel and a 5-round magazine. It’s a solid, no-nonsense hunting rifle built for the guy who wants accuracy out of the box and doesn’t need a bunch of fancy extras. The flat dark earth Cerakote finish sheds glare and resists weather, and the fluted, threaded barrel lets you run a brake or suppressor. We added this to our catalog in summer 2025, and it’s been a reliable seller with consistently positive customer feedback. If you need a rifle that hits hard and keeps its zero in rough country, this is it.

What Buyers Ask
Does this rifle come with a scope or rings?
No, the Vanguard Obsidian ships without a scope or rings. The receiver is drilled and tapped for standard Weaver-style bases, so you can mount your own optics. We recommend a quality 3-9×40 for general hunting or a 4-16×44 for longer-range work.
Is the barrel threaded under the thread protector?
Yes, the barrel is threaded 5/8-24 and comes with a thread protector installed. You can remove the protector and attach a suppressor or muzzle brake. The threads are clean and well-cut from the factory.
How does the trigger feel out of the box?
The TriggerTech trigger is one of the best factory triggers on the market. It’s adjustable from about 2.5 to 3.5 pounds, with a crisp break and zero creep. We recommend breaking in with 50 rounds before relying on it for carry, but you’ll be impressed from the first shot.
