Weatherby Vanguard – .300 Winchester Magnum with Leupold Vari-X III This Weatherby Vanguard bolt-action rifle, serial number VX31849, is chambered in .300 Winchester Magnum and embodies Weatherby’s reputation for strength, precision, and classic design. The rifle features a 24-inch cold hammer-forged barrel with a 1:10 twist rate, a bright and shiny bore, and sharp rifling. The barrel retains a stunning dark blued finish in near-perfect condition, with crisp factory markings. The receiver is fitted with a fluted one-piece bolt body and fully enclosed bolt sleeve, showing excellent original bluing with sharp Weatherby Vanguard markings along the left side. The bolt handle is strawed and in excellent condition. The hinged floorplate and trigger guard retain their original bluing, also in excellent shape. A three-position safety is located on the right side behind the bolt, paired with a two-stage trigger. The length of pull measures 13.62 inches. The stock is Weatherby’s classic Monte Carlo pattern, crafted from A-grade Turkish walnut with a rosewood fore-end tip and pistol grip cap. The stock has a raised comb, crisp checkering at the forearm and grip, and retains an exquisite satin finish. The buttstock is fitted with the original brown Weatherby recoil pad, and double sling swivel studs are present. Mounted on the rifle is a Leupold Vari-X III 3.5–10x50mm scope, highly regarded for its clarity and durability. Features include the elite optical system, second focal plane duplex reticle, Multicoat lenses, and construction that is waterproof, fogproof, and shockproof. The scope is mounted on two-piece bases with engraved rings, both in excellent condition with attractive detailing. This Weatherby Vanguard in .300 Win Mag, paired with its premium Leupold scope and elegant walnut stock, represents a complete, field-ready rifle package that is as functional in the hunting field as it is desirable in a fine sporting collection.
