The Weatherby Vanguard Obsidian in 223 Rem is a serious choice for shooters who demand accuracy without compromise. Built on a cold hammer-forged barrel and paired with a match-grade trigger, this rifle delivers sub-MOA performance—the kind of consistency that matters whether you're zeroing at the range, hunting varmints, or pushing precision at distance. The 20-inch heavy threaded barrel is ready to accept your choice of suppressor or muzzle brake, giving you flexibility to tailor the rifle to your shooting style and noise signature.
This isn't a rifle that's going to wilt in the field. The blued steel receiver and synthetic Monte Carlo stock are built to shrug off weather and rough use. The black polymer stock handles rain, dust, and temperature swings without bloating or warping, and its ergonomic Monte Carlo profile sits naturally in your hands and shoulders, promoting a repeatable hold and better sight picture. The 5+1 capacity keeps you ready for follow-up shots or the next animal in the group.
The Vanguard Obsidian is drilled and tapped from the factory, so you can mount your optic without guessing or waiting for a gunsmith. Whether you're building a precision varmint gun, a backcountry hunting rifle, or a match shooter's platform, the 223 Rem platform gives you low recoil, minimal muzzle rise, and ammunition economics that let you shoot more and spend less. This is the rifle for shooters who want proven accuracy and the durability to back it up.

Yes. The receiver is drilled and tapped from the factory, so you can install your rings and optic immediately without gunsmith work.
The barrel is threaded, so it's ready to accept a suppressor, muzzle brake, or flash hider. You'll need to verify thread pitch and compatibility with your specific muzzle device.
