Weatherby Vanguard Obsidian 25-06 Rem 24″ Threaded Bolt Rifle

Description

The Weatherby Vanguard Obsidian 25-06 Rem 24” Threaded Bolt Rifle is a production-grade precision tool designed for the shooter who demands consistent sub-MOA accuracy out of the box without dropping four figures on a custom build. Chambered in the flat-shooting .25-06 Remington, this full-size bolt gun pairs a 24-inch threaded barrel with a weather-resistant Monte Carlo synthetic stock and a hinged floorplate magazine. It’s built for field-ready reliability, but the adjustable two-stage match trigger and three-position safety also make it a legitimate option for tactical or long-range competition work. This rifle delivers the accuracy pedigree Weatherby is known for, but at a price point that won’t make you wince when you ding the stock in the truck.

Key Features

• Adjustable Two-Stage Match Trigger – Factory-set at 2.5 lbs with a clean, crisp break eliminates the guesswork on the firing line, giving you a predictable release every time.
• 24” Threaded Barrel (5/8×24) – Threaded muzzle lets you run a suppressor or muzzle brake without a gunsmith visit, cutting recoil and noise for faster follow-up shots in competition or hunting.
• Three-Position Safety – Locks the bolt, allows bolt manipulation with the trigger blocked, or full fire mode—critical for safe stage transitions and load/unload drills.
• Hinged Floorplate Magazine – Drops the floorplate for quick unloading without cycling rounds through the action, saving time and wear on your brass.
• Weather-Resistant Monte Carlo Stock – Fiberglass-reinforced synthetic with a raised cheekpiece and textured grip panels maintains consistent cheek weld in rain, mud, or snow without warping.

Who It’s For

This rifle is built for the competitive shooter who wants a production-grade platform they can drop into a PRS or NRL Hunter match without spending $2,000 on a custom action. It’s also for the precision handloader who wants a .25-06 that shoots flat to 600 yards and still thumps medium game. If you’re the type who runs 100 rounds through a gun before you even clean it, the Vanguard Obsidian’s reliability and accuracy will keep you on target.

Pros & Cons

• Pros: Sub-MOA guarantee out of the box, adjustable match trigger, threaded barrel for suppressor use, affordable price for a Weatherby, three-position safety for competition and field.
• Cons: The synthetic stock has a bit of flex under heavy bipod load compared to a chassis system, and the factory trigger adjustment range is limited to 2.5–4 lbs without aftermarket parts.
