Weatherby Vanguard Wthby Vtx256Rr4T Vgd Obsidian 25-06 Rem 24Tb
The Weatherby Vanguard Obsidian in 25-06 Remington is a purpose-built hunting rifle that bridges classic Weatherby design with modern field practicality. Chambered in the versatile 25-06 Rem—a flat-shooting cartridge favored by hunters pursuing medium to large game at extended ranges—this rifle combines a 24-inch barrel with a synthetic stock engineered for durability and weather resistance. Whether you're glassing from a ridge or pushing through rough terrain, the Obsidian is designed to handle the conditions hunters actually face without compromise.
Built on Weatherby's proven Vanguard platform, the Obsidian prioritizes reliability and shooter control. The ergonomic synthetic stock provides a stable, consistent platform for accuracy, while the graphite black Cerakote finish on the barrel, receiver, bolt, bolt knob, and safety resists corrosion and reflects a no-nonsense aesthetic. This is a rifle built for function first, with the visual restraint that comes from focusing on what actually matters in the field.
The Vanguard Obsidian isn't designed to be flashy or compromise on weight with unnecessary features. It's straightforward: a 25-06 Remington that shoots where you point it, withstands weather, and carries comfortably. For hunters who want a proven, capable rifle without the premium price tag of specialty builds, the Obsidian delivers genuine value.
