On Our Mark: Episode 85 - New Additions to the Vanguard Line
Вставка
- Опубліковано 4 жов 2024
- We are proud to announce two BRAND NEW rifles to the Vanguard® lineup.
The first being the Vanguard Spike Camp™ For those of you that have been asking for heavier and shorter barrels this is the rifle for you. A #3 contour barrel paired with the Boyds™ laminate thumbhole wood stock makes for a deadly combination in the field or at the range.
The new Vanguard Obsidian maintains the classic Weatherby® features and has a sleek all-black aesthetic. The 3-position safety ensures safe loading and unloading and the synthetic stock holds up against the harshest of weather.
Luke and Tyler host Raleigh and Seth to talk in detail about the two new additions to the Vanguard lineup and find themselves headed down some rabbit holes. In this episode we discuss:
Features of the Vanguard Spike Camp
Available caliber offerings of the Spike Camp
A day in the life of Raleigh
Inside hints at new products with shorter barrels
The Vanguard Obsidian's amazing price point value

Hope a few vanguards come in 6.8, and 338 RPM! Ever consider bringing back the 338-06? Or chambering for 9.3x62, 35 Whelen?
For some reason, I'd love to have a 9.3x62.
Not sure why except I think they're cool.
I'd also love a 6.8 western and a 6.5 swede.
I know it's not really different than the creed, but I already have a 6.5prc, and I have no desire for anymore Hornady cartridges.
@@wheelchairhillbilly Winchester has recently started importing their 9.3x62 rifles from across the pond and brass for 9.3x62 is plentiful here or at least on ammo seek.
Edit: for anyone wondering, it's called the Winchester SXR2,
@@GeneralObeseus Thanks. I'll check it out.
I was very unhappy CZ quit making their 6.5x55 and 9.3x62.
338 rpm and 35 whelen. Glad I am not only 1
Very cool. I like that heavy, short barrel
Who tee hoo the boolit slinger himself.

Good to see Seth on!
I buy a new weatherby at least once a year with a a mixture of Vanguards and Mark 5s.
The short barrel needs a 7mm-08 with a 1:8 twist.
The 240wby vanguards need a tighter twist option at least, and if the new budget version is any different than the synthetic, it needs a 240 chambering.
I certainly hope you keep the weatherby calibers in 26in for most versions.
I would love to be able to get a vanguard long action with a number 3 contour barrel.
It's too bad the accuguard went away.
Anyway even if these 2 don't interest me with the options, hopefully the next new things will.
I'm currently looking forward to getting a scope on my new Mark 5 hunter in 6.5 rpm. I certainly regret that you can't get a number 2 contour rpm in the more budget versions, but it is what it is.
Of course I'd also love to see a 7mm rpm.
It probably would be just as fast as the 7mmprc if not close.
By the way, I love the 6 lug action. Great job on that.
Thanks
I agree on the 7-08 , I ordered the creed and will try it this year
I have two Vanguard rifles. They are a great value and a great way to get into Weatherby cartridges.
Just bought a Vanguard in .240 Wby Mag!
I hope that Obsidian vangaurd comes In 6.5 rpm
What’s the difference between the obsidian and the vanguard synthetic?
As a hand load I have gone to Weatherby Rifles because they have carried the longer barrels. I loved that the .308 Win was a 24". Sad to hear Weatherby is following to the short barrel fad. Roy's conviction that speed kills is what Weatherby is about. Hard to do that when we are chopping barrel lengths.
Good looking Rifles, What are the Rifle weights, magazine capacity, Bolt throw, and Accuracy??
What is the difference between the Vanguard Obsidian and Vanguard Synthetic? It seems like you added features, but it is also cheaper. What was cut to reach that price point?
Me too.
I have been googling daily for this information.
I’ve looked and asked and never got the answer.
The spike camp in 308 could be my blind rifle up here in Saskatchewan.
Awesome additions, I have nothing but Weatherby for bolt actions! Bad to the bone
Just ordered my Spike camp in 350 Legend. What is my best option for mounting a Leupold 50mm VX Freedom?
Aside from people who work in the firearms industry continuing to use the word caliber incorrectly even on their website I like everything else in this podcast episode including the twin bearded guys lol 😆. Even though I am a lefty shooter I would definitely consider that beautiful Spike Camp 🏕️ in 350 Legend since I recently moved to Ohio.
I like the news that future models and perhaps even current models will have the appropriate length barrel for the cartridge. No sense having a 26 in .308 Win when 20 or 22 will do well.
Who do i have to talk to about the 307 being chambered in 338 Wby RPM?
age
?HOW MANY ROUND OF BARREL
If you made a 6.8W, a Vanguard would be in my safe instead of a new X-Bolt.
Don’t forget to make suppressor ready Long Action versions. I won’t buy a rifle that is not threaded anymore.
Hey Weatherby please comment and answer these questions about the Obsidian vs. Synthetic.
I’ve asked the same thing and still no answer
Threaded barrel
Shorter barrel
I can’t buy a weatherby in 350 legend, it feels wrong. Now if they made a 22 creedmoor.
I miss the stainless vanguards
