Weatherby Vanguard Wthby Vtx65Cmr2T Vgd Obsidian 6.5 Cmr 22Tb

The Weatherby Vanguard Obsidian in 6.5 Creedmoor is a modern hunting rifle built for shooters who refuse to compromise between rugged performance and refined handling. This mid-range Vanguard pairs Weatherby's proven bolt-action design with a sleek synthetic platform, delivering the kind of dependable accuracy hunters expect from the brand without unnecessary frills or weight.

The Obsidian's graphite black Cerakote finish covers the barrel, receiver, bolt, bolt knob, and safety—a durable coating that shrugs off moisture, dust, and temperature swings whether you're working through rain-soaked forests or high-desert sage flats. The black polymer Monte Carlo stock provides a weather-resistant, stable shooting platform that resists warping and stays consistent across seasons. The ergonomic design promotes a natural point of aim and solid cheek weld, translating directly to better group control at the range or in the field.

In 6.5 Creedmoor, this rifle inherits the cartridge's reputation for flat trajectories and reliable terminal performance on medium-sized game at extended ranges—ideal for hunters who want modern ballistics without jumping to a magnum. The 22-inch barrel hits the sweet spot for maneuverability in brush while maintaining the velocity the cartridge needs. This is Vanguard DNA: straightforward, effective, and built to hunt, not to impress with marketing.
