There aren’t many who can reinvent themselves every day, but this one can. With a quick change in the brilliant but simple stock spacer, the Vanguard Synthetic Compact becomes the perfect fit for whoever wants to experience SUB-MOA accuracy from its 20 inches bead-blasted barrel. That length-of-pull adjustability, along with the great price, makes this rifle a popular pick for parents who are raising their kids in the sporting life. This Weatherby can grow right along with the hunter who is lucky enough to hunt with it.

1 year agoShould be a great rifle to train grand-kids to shoot and hunt with. I even like it for myself. Thanks Weatherby. Nice product at a very good price!

1 year agoThe 30.06 vanguard is a very good gun for hunting whitetail. the performance is very good , but most of the time it depends on the shooter. It has a lot of stopping power and functions great.

1 year agoI bought this for the wife to shoot and she has done quite well with it so far at the range. It is 7mm 08 which is a good caliber for her and to this point the gun has been flawless in operation. My only issue is the plastic stock (I’m a wood person) that we will replace in the future with a laminate one mostly for looks but for fit too with a better recoil pad for her. I like the gun and would love to have one for myself but……..

1 year agowaiting to get to 100 yd. range, at 25 yds., a jagged whole with redfield revolution, right out of the box, with my hand loads. could recommend to anyone who shoots
JERRY THE HUNTER
1 year agoLove this gun. Versatility in stock length with the spacer. Weatherby accuracy right out of the box. I train a LOT of kids to shoot/hunt, and you can’t beat this in a .223 for practice, and a 7mm-08 for hunting. Compact, solid, quality product.
LOUISIANA WHITE TAIL
1 year agoI purchased this rifle because I love the feel of the stock. I then add a break to it and a sig sauer tango4 scope. I got it in the 25-06 and when I took the first shoot at the range it was unbelievable. At this price there is no rifle that can match it.

1 year agoMy grandfather bought me this rifle in .308 and i love it. Great for hunting deer and range shooting. Reliable, compact and all around perfect.
THE BEAR
1 year agoTOOK TO RANGE, SIGHTED IN AT 200 YARDS… 5 SHOTS ALL TOUCHING EACH OTHER, MIDDLE BULLS EYE…. THEN WENT COYOTE HUNTING. FIRST MORNING, 6 DEAD COYOTES, AT RANGES BETWEEN 300 AND 500 YARDS…. CAN YOU DO ANY MORE WITH GUNS AT 3 TO 10 TIMES THE MONEY?
BRET
1 year agoThis was my first gun that I ever got when I was 12 and still using it today (20). I’ve learned how to shoot with this gun and have taken animals as small as pigs and as large as elk. This gun is on e of my favorite guns I own. If your trying to get your kids, girlfriend, or even you into the world of shooting this gun is one of the best.
MULE RIDER
1 year agoI am a woman who needs the short LOP. This rifle easily delivers, with the wonderful added ability to shoot MOA with ease. This handy compact beautiful shooter with a delightful trigger is, for me, the same go to as a custom rifle…. I topped this with a compact Leupold and have a rig for the ages. I hunt southern whitetail, and western elk, ,pronghorn, etc. This packs wonderfully in a scabbard and is a joy to carry and handle. This rig has never failed me. Love love it.

1 year agoWe purchased this rifle a few years ago for my wife for mostly deer hunting in East Texas. Now we hunt in far west Texas and this is the “GO TO” rifle for half the deer lease. I have friends who will borrow our rifle if we’re not hunting of not at camp. It has killed a many deer and we all freezer full of meat to prove it. Great for kids and adults – accuracy is superb! Actually buying two more for my daughters – tired of them fighting with mom who’s going to take to hunt that day.

1 year agoGot this to start my boys out on deer hunting. You can’t ask for a better value unless maybe a softer recoil pad. And I don’t love most composite stocks but this is more solid/less hollow feeling than those on similarly priced guns. However-and most importantly- this is probably the most accurate rifle I own, better than one I have that cost twice as much. Solid gun, nice safety. I got the Talley rings which are great. Bead blasting is low luster for hunting. Fit my 12 yo perfectly and he laid … Read More

1 year agoI have 3 Vanguards in different calibers. I have the .270, .308 and 6.5 PRC. I love all three. You can’t beat the accuracy and dependability of these rifles. The quality you get at the right price is priceless. I would recommend the Vanguard to anyone looking for a great rifle.

1 year agoThis is the first rifle I have purchased completely on line and the experience could not be easier. I got an excellent price and super fast delivery. Picking a licensed gun store with a FFL to ship to was as simple as picking a cooperating dealer from their list. Filling out the paperwork was a breeze. The whole shopping on line with Guns.com was ...Read More Read more about review stating Easy on line buyer experience.
