Weatherby Vanguard First Lite Bolt Action Centerfire Rifle Information
The first thing you’ll notice about the Vanguard First Lite, aside from Weatherby’s legendary fit and finish, is the stock. The Monte Carlo design, complete with a right-side palm swell and textured forearm and grip areas, is appointed with innovative First Lite Fusion camo – a proprietary mix of “crackalature” shapes and colors derived through nature-based algorithms and oriented for macro and micro disruption. The Monte Carlo stock features textured grip areas and all metalwork has maximum protection with a great-looking Cerakote finish to ensure this rifle will perform in any conditions.
All Weatherby Vanguard rifles are guaranteed to shoot a 3-shot group of .99″ or less at 100 yards (SUB-MOA) when used with Weatherby factory or premium ammunition. The synthetic stock provides lightweight and durable performance year after year. It combines modern synthetic materials with the legendary Weatherby raised comb Monte Carlo design. Special pistol and forend textured areas provide a firm, non-slip grip, while a right side palm swell aids in control and shooter comfort. All Vanguard rifles feature a specially-fit, low density recoil pad. This technologically superior material significantly reduces felt recoil. Each trigger is hand-honed, factory-tuned and inspected for a clean, crisp break, improving shooter accuracy. Trigger housing is constructed of lightweight alloy and is fully adjustable down to 2.5 lbs.

I think this is amazing. Lots of features and customizable from every point of view. The few times I asked for help in support they were competent, fast and above all very patient. Really recommend

I was able to get this out to the local 25yd indoor range, and all I can say is that this gun is FUN!! It shoots like a dream and is easy to point. I had to adjust the elevation on the sight slightly (was hitting low at 15yds), but otherwise it went bang every time!

Received gun in great condition. Dropped in TrigerTech Primary trigger set to 1.5lbs and went to the range. 5 shot groups at 100 yards with Hornady 140 gr ELD Match had 4 in one ragged hole with the 5th just outside not touching. A true 1/2MOA gun with factory ammunition. I’m absolutely thrilled!
