The Weatherby VFP65PPR6B is a testament to Roy Weatherby's vision in the 1960s to create an affordable rifle that could handle his remarkable magnum cartridges. The idea led to the birth of the Vanguard project, developed in partnership with Japanese manufacturer Howa, known particularly for the Mark V actions. The Vanguard rifle possesses many unique safety features, including a fully covered bolt and three gas ports on its body, which provide robust protection in case of cartridge failure.
The Vanguard begins with a two-lug push-feed action pioneered by Howa. It also incorporates a hammer forged barrel, delivering superior accuracy and durability which outclass most mass-produced cut-rifled barrels of the time. The rifle sports an M-16 style extractor for consistent and reliable cartridge extraction. It also features a fluted bolt body - similar to the Mark V's design - which allows for smoother operation, even under harsh hunting conditions.
Designed to be a high-performing yet budget-friendly rifle, the modern Vanguard comes with a Sub-MOA accuracy guarantee and a sharp two-stage trigger. This makes it stand out as one of the most cost-effective rifle options available. The rifle is fitted with a lightweight and durable Monte Carlo stock that ensures optimal performance year after year. It boasts a one-piece, forged and machined receiver with an integral recoil lug that maximizes strength and structural integrity.
The easy-access magazine, thanks to a one-piece trigger guard with hinged floorplate, allows for easy access to unfired cartridges. To further enhance user comfort, the Vanguard comes with a low-density recoil pad designed with advanced technology to significantly reduce felt recoil. The three-position safety also allows the shooter to operate the action while the safety is still on.
One of the distinctive features of the Vanguard First Lite is its Monte Carlo design with a right-side palm swell and textured forearm and grip areas. Apart from this, it sports innovative First Lite Specter camo - a unique blend of crackalature patterns and colors derived through nature-based algorithms. This design, geared towards both macro and micro disruption, makes the Vanguard First Lite an optimal choice for rifle enthusiasts.
