Series 2 model.
The Vanguard Action has been a staple in the industry for over 50 years and features an integral recoil lug for a safe and robust action. This is the rifle you want when heading into the vast depths of the high country.Building off the Vanguard High Country, the Outfitter has an updated Cerekote, hand sponge paint and a spiral-fluted barrel. Hunters can expect the same Weatherby Monte Carlo stock; crisp Two-Stage trigger; hammer-forged, threaded barrel; 3-Position safety and M16 extractor.
