Weatherby Vanguard Black Hills Rifle 7mm PRC 3rd Magazine 24" 1/2x28 Threaded Barrel with 2" Muzzle Brake Black with Green and Tan

The Weatherby Vanguard Black Hills 7mm PRC rifle is a field-ready hunting rifle built for shooters who won't compromise on accuracy or durability. Inspired by the Black Hills aesthetic, this bolt-action rifle combines traditional hunting lines with modern tactical features—a 24" threaded barrel with 2" muzzle brake, a polymer stock finished in black with green and tan accents, and a receiver machined to accept a 3rd magazine. The 1/2x28 threaded barrel and muzzle brake tame recoil while maintaining the 7mm PRC's effective range and power, making it equally at home on high-elevation hunts and long-range precision work.

Weather resistance is baked into the design: matte blue metal finishes on the barrel, receiver, bolt, bolt knob, and safety stand up to rain, snow, and dust without fading or corroding. The ergonomic Monte Carlo stock provides a natural, stable shooting platform and comfortable cheek weld—critical when you're glassing hillsides or settling into a shot. Weatherby equipped this edition with serious mounting hardware from Peak 44, including a Picatinny rail on the receiver and an Arca/Picatinny adapter on the foreend, so you can run whatever optics, tactical gear, or hunting accessories fit your mission.

The Vanguard line has a reputation for sub-MOA accuracy and reliable function in real hunting conditions. Pair the 7mm PRC's velocity and ballistics with this platform, and you've got a rifle that works from muzzle-loaded canyon hunts to Western big-game trips where distance and wind matter. If you hunt elk, mule deer, or mountain game and want a rifle that won't let you down in harsh weather or difficult terrain, the Weatherby Vanguard Black Hills deserves a serious look.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the 7mm PRC and when would I hunt with it?

The 7mm PRC is a magnum rifle cartridge known for high velocity, flat trajectory, and excellent energy retention at distance. It's effective for elk, mule deer, and other big game—especially in open country where longer shots are common or where you need strong performance in wind.

Can I add a suppressor to the threaded barrel?

The barrel is threaded 1/2x28, which is a standard suppressor thread. A suppressor designed for .30-caliber or magnum rifles with 1/2x28 threads will fit, though we'd recommend confirming compatibility with the suppressor manufacturer and checking your local and state regulations on sound suppressors.

What mounting hardware comes installed or included?

The rifle comes with a Picatinny rail on the receiver and an Arca/Picatinny adapter on the foreend (from Peak 44), so you can mount optics directly to the rail and attach Arca-compatible bipods, slings, or other accessories to the foreend adapter. No scope is included—you'll need to source and mount one separately.

Is this rifle weather-resistant?

Yes. The matte blue finish on the barrel, receiver, bolt, bolt knob, and safety is designed to resist corrosion in wet and harsh weather. The polymer stock is also weather-resistant and won't soak up moisture or swell like wood.
