Availability: In Stock
The Weatherby Vanguard Weatherguard Bronze 22-250 rifle brings genuine hunting-grade performance and durability to shooters looking for a reliable, affordable platform. Built on Weatherby's proven Vanguard action, this .22-250 combines a burnt bronze Cerakoted barreled action with a hand-sprayed polymer stock finished in black with bronze webbing—resulting in a rifle that looks and handles like a much pricier option. Each rifle is hand-fitted at the factory for proper alignment and stability, giving you confidence whether you're zeroing at the range or in the field.
The 22-250 chambering is a proven varmint and small-game cartridge that delivers flat trajectories and minimal recoil, making it excellent for shooters building their first precision rifle or experienced hunters after a lightweight, faster-handling alternative to magnum calibers. Weatherby backs this rifle with a sub-MOA accuracy guarantee—guaranteed .99-inch or tighter 3-shot groups at 100 yards when paired with Weatherby factory or premium ammunition—a commitment you don't often see at this price point. The rifle's cold hammer-forged barrel resists corrosion and erosion, while the burnt bronze Cerakote on all metalwork provides serious weather resistance for seasons of hard use.
Handling details matter: the two-stage adjustable match-quality trigger breaks cleanly without creep, the fluted bolt body cycles smooth and fast, and the 3-position safety is intuitive under pressure. A hinged floorplate makes loading and unloading effortless, and the integral recoil lug locks everything down solid. At 24 inches, this barrel is an ideal compromise between velocity and portability—short enough to navigate brush and truck beds, long enough to wring out the cartridge's ballistic potential.
If you want a no-nonsense, good-looking hunting rifle that won't break the bank and comes with a real accuracy promise, the Weatherguard Bronze delivers.

Yes. The 22-250 delivers flat trajectories, minimal recoil, and fast follow-up shot capability—ideal for shooters new to centerfire rifles or hunters working with lighter-kicking cartridges. It's effective on varmints and small game and forgiving on the shoulder, making range sessions productive and enjoyable.
Weatherby guarantees sub-MOA accuracy (.99" or less) in 3-shot groups at 100 yards when you use Weatherby factory ammunition or other premium loads. Hand-fitting at the factory and the cold hammer-forged barrel help deliver this level of consistency.
