The Weatherby Vanguard Compact Hunter is a compact, youth-friendly bolt-action sporting rifle chambered for .223/5.56-class cartridges and built for tight-quarters hunting or introducing smaller-statured shooters to field shooting. Its 20-inch cold hammer-forged barrel is paired with a synthetic Monte Carlo stock that includes bold black, gray and orange sponge accents and removable spacers to adjust length of pull. The rifle ships with a threaded muzzle and an Accubrake to reduce felt recoil, plus a two-stage adjustable trigger and a hinged floorplate magazine for straightforward loading and maintenance.
