Sheridan, WY – Weatherby is proud to announce the addition of the increasingly popular 6.5 PRC cartridge into the Vanguard® family, including the brand new Synthetic Green model. Weatherby® is also excited to release the Element Tungsten, a version of the extremely popular Element® Synthetic.
The Weatherby Vanguard® series of bolt action rifles provides the confidence of a match quality, two-stage trigger that breaks crisp and clean plus guaranteed SUB-MOA accuracy out of the cold hammer forged barrel. That’s why the Vanguard® has become one of the most popular rifle options and the best rifle value on the market today.
The 6.5 PRC cartridge is now available in most of our Vanguard® models, including our new Synthetic Green model. The new Synthetic Green features the classic Monte Carlo Griptonite® green stock with a bead blasted matte black blued finish. https://weatherby.com/store/vanguard-synthetic-green/ MSRP $619
The Weatherby® Element® series of semi-automatic shotguns are built on the proven inertia system that provides the most reliable cycling in an evenly-weighted gun. The single piece receiver is precision machined from billet aluminum for strength and has been designed and built for shooters that require superior reliability with high volume shooting. The new Element® Tungsten Synthetic model features a black polymer stock set paired with tungsten Cerakote® metal work for maximum corrosion resistance. https://weatherby.com/store/element-tungsten-synthetic/ MSRP $599
“We developed these new models based on feedback from our customers and are happy to be able to deliver them in the midst of all the craziness this year. We have already begun to ship these models and consumers should be able to find them at a Weatherby retailer very soon.” - Luke Thorkildsen VP of Sales, Marketing, and Product Development
