Weatherby Vanguard First Lite in .270 Winchester (First Lite Fusion Camo) 24″ Barrel

Description

Weatherby’s Vanguard First Lite Fusion Camo rifle doesn’t just look good-it feels good too. This is thanks to its long list of highly impressive features such as its cold hammer-forged and fluted 24-inch barrel as well as a one-piece fluted bolt. Add to that the removable Accubrake muzzle brake, a highly intuitive three-position safety, as well as an enclosed bolt shroud. All these features combine to create a great hunting tool.

A good trigger is one of the most important features at the heart of an accurate rifle. The Vanguard First Lite really shines in this department because of its adjustable two-stage trigger. It has a light uptake and a break that is both crisp and clean to ensure you don’t miss that shot of a lifetime.

The Vanguard’s trigger and barrel combination helps to blur the line between a sporting tool and a dedicated target shooting rifle. Weighing in at a mere 7.5 pounds, the .270 Wincester caliber Vanguard First Lite is small and light enough to be carried in the field all day long. At the same time, its highly accurate fluted barrel ensures that it is a true long-range weapon in its own right.

This rifle has Weatherby’s (by now) legendary fit and finish with a silky smooth bolt-action operation. The buttstock follows the Monte Carlo pattern and features a right-side palm swell. It also has a textured grip areas and forearm to ensure the rifle won’t slip, even in wet and icy conditions.

Both the stock and the foregrip are finished with Weatherby’s very own highly innovative First Lite Fusion pattern camo. This is a proprietary mix of different shapes and colors that have been computer generated with the help of nature-based algorithms. This pattern enables the hunter to blend into the surrounding environment since the design is oriented for micro and macro disruption. In the right environment, it is difficult to discern the rifle, even from a few yards away.

All of Weatherby’s Vanguard rifles are guaranteed to give 3-shot groups of .99 inches or even less at 100 yards. This is SUB-MOA performance from a cold barrel. Such results are possible with Weatherby® premium or even factory ammunition. The Accubrake included with the rifle and the Vanguard recoil pad help absorb felt recoil to ensure maximum user comfort, even for prolonged shooting sessions.
