The Vanguard Series 2 in .257 Weatherby Magnum gives hunters Roy Weatherby's personal favorite cartridge at the Vanguard price point rather than the Mark V premium. Built on the Howa 1500 action with a cold hammer-forged barrel, it delivers near-identical ballistics to a Mark V .257 Wby Mag for several hundred dollars less. The sub-MOA accuracy guarantee applies. Type: Rifle Action: Bolt-Action Caliber: .257 Wby Mag Capacity: 3 Year introduced: 2012, USA Weight: 7.75 oz Overall length: 45.5" Status: Active Intended use: Hunting, Long-Range Shooting
