The Weatherby Vanguard S2 Sporter is a bolt-action rifle chambered in 7MM PRC with a 24-inch threaded barrel, engineered for hunters and long-range shooters who demand precision and reliability. The rifle wears a walnut Monte Carlo stock finished with a matte bead blasted blued coating and incorporates a 3-position safety. The match quality, two-stage trigger is adjustable down to 2.5 lbs., delivering crisp and consistent trigger control.
Cold hammer forged barrels are a Vanguard hallmark, delivering accuracy and reliability that exceed rifles at comparable price points. Every Vanguard is guaranteed to shoot a 3-shot group of .99″ or less at 100 yards (SUB-MOA) from a cold barrel when used with Weatherby factory or premium ammunition. The rifle features a one-piece machined bolt body with a fully enclosed bolt sleeve, an integral recoil lug, and a hinged floorplate. The 7MM PRC was designed to push long, heavy bullets in a standard long action, with those bullets offering high ballistic coefficients that maintain accuracy at extended range, making this rifle well-suited for hunting in mountainous terrain and distant targets where precision matters most.
