Weatherby Vanguard S2 Sporter .22-250 Rem Bolt-Action Rifle

Product Description

Weatherby Vanguard S2 Sporter is a bolt-action rifle chambered in .22-250 Rem with a 24″ #2 contour barrel. The barrel is cold hammer-forged with a 1:12″ twist. The muzzle is threaded 1/2×28, and Weatherby backs the rifle with its SUB-MOA Guarantee.

What sets it apart

The bolt body is fluted, and the trigger is an adjustable 2-stage. The safety has 3 positions. The magazine uses a hinged floorplate and holds 5+1 rounds. The stock is checkered walnut with a Monte Carlo comb and a 13.5″ length of pull. The metal wears a matte blue finish, and overall length is 44″.

This rifle suits varmint hunters, predator callers and bench shooters who like the flat-shooting .22-250 Rem. The threaded barrel makes it a fit for anyone planning to run a suppressor with a matching 1/2×28 mount. Walnut and blued steel-style looks aside, it is built to be shot, not just admired.

The rifle has no sights, so you will need an optic. It is drilled and tapped, so you can mount scope bases and rings. A variable-power scope, a bipod and a sling are the usual starting kit. Add a suppressor or muzzle device that matches the 1/2×28 threads, then pick your .22-250 Rem ammunition and see which load your rifle likes best.
