We saw this historic move to the Cowboy State as an opportunity to make a limited rifle set that would showcase the Weatherby quality and craftsmanship while boasting our new location at the foot of the Bighorn Mountains in beautiful Sheridan, Wyoming.
The Vanguard Badlands is the first production rifle to appear in the popular Badlands Approach® camo. The Approach pattern uses adaptive coloration to construct a neutral color palette that adapts to your surrounds and lighting conditions.
*As of 07/01/2024 the Weatherby Vanguard will now come standard with a threaded barrel. There are still options without a threaded barrel available until inventory is sold out. Some barrel lengths have also changed. Please view tech specs below for updated information.
Are you a technical hunter, needing the best gear available? The Mark V First Lite is a product that incorporates powerful concealment on the legendary Mark V action.
Sitka Tribe, the wait is over for a Weatherby® Mark V production rifle wrapped in Gore™ Optifade™ Subalpine camo. Weighing as little as 5-1/2 pounds, this combination of weight, accuracy, and finish means this rifle deserves to go deep into the backcountry. *Accubrake varies on caliber.
The Mark V CarbonMark is a custom built, stunningly-precise collaboration with Proof Research. This Mark V carbon barrel is 64% lighter than traditional steel barrels of the same contour.
The Vanguard First Lite combines Weatherby’s popular Vanguard lineup with First Lite’s Fusion camo. First Lite Fusion camo is a proprietary mix of “crackalature” shapes and colors derived through nature-based algorithms and oriented for macro and micro disruption. Be careful where you set this rifle down because it can disappear at distances from 2-2,000 yards. With a threaded barrel, the Vanguard First Lite is ready for a suppressor or the included recoil-reducing Accubreak.

The first thing you’ll notice about the Vanguard First Lite Spector, aside from Weatherby’s legendary fit and finish, is the stock. The Monte Carlo design, complete with a right-side palm swell and textured forearm and grip areas, is appointed with innovative First Lite Spector camo.
