Paso Robles, Calif.—Weatherby Inc., legendary firearms manufacturer, announces the introduction of the Vanguard® Select rifle, one of the latest iterations of the Vanguard® series that debuted in the early 1970s. Since that time, Vanguard® rifles have redefined the level of performance that's attainable from a production rifle —especially budget-friendly models.

The Vanguard® SelectTM rifle is accompanied with an accuracy guarantee; when using premium ammunition, it will produce a three-shot group measuring 0.99-inch or less at 100 yds. from a cold barrel. Aiding this assurance is a 24 inch, cold-hammer-forged, matte, bead blasted, blued finish barrel.

The heart of the SelectTM rifle, the renowned Vanguard® action, is affixed to an injection molded black Monte Carlo stock that features hard, textured forearm and grip areas, and a right side palm swell that aids in shooter comfort and control.

As with other Vanguard® rifles, the SelectTM is equipped with a match-quality, two-stage trigger that's user adjustable for pull weight. It also has the familiar three-position safety and fluted bolt with dual-opposed locking lugs of its siblings.

The Vanguard® SelectTM rifle will begin shipping immediately and has an MSRP of $599. Contact your local authorized Weatherby® dealer to order yours today.
