Weatherby Vanguard Synthetic Compact .350 Legend Rifle - VYT350NR0O

The Weatherby Vanguard Synthetic Compact .350 Legend rifle is built for hunters and shooters who need a shorter, lighter platform without sacrificing accuracy or reliability. Chambered in .350 Legend—a modern cartridge designed for lever-action and modern sporting rifles—this compact rifle brings Weatherby's sub-MOA engineering into a package that works for smaller frames, younger hunters, and anyone who values maneuverability in thick cover or from a tree stand. The adjustable length-of-pull stock system lets you dial in the perfect fit as your shooter grows or as you swap between hunters, making this a smart investment for family gun cabinets and hunting clubs.

Under the composite stock sits a cold hammer-forged barrel with a matte bead-blasted finish that resists glint and corrosion alike. The one-piece machined bolt features a fluted body and fully enclosed bolt sleeve—design details that contribute to the rifle's reputation for precision and reliability in the field. A match-quality two-stage trigger breaks cleanly, and the three-position safety is intuitive to operate in a stand or on the move. The integral recoil lug and hinged floorplate round out a platform that balances serious accuracy potential with practical hunting features.

Whether you're introducing a new shooter to the sport or building a dedicated .350 Legend rifle for whitetail in brush country, the Vanguard Synthetic Compact delivers Weatherby's accuracy standards in a trim, purpose-built package. The injection-molded synthetic stock is impervious to weather and hard use, and the matte finish on metal parts plays well with modern optics and won't telegraph movement in daylight.
