Weatherby Vanguard VS Winchester XPR

Weatherby offers 28 versions of its Vanguard rifle, so there's bound to be one to fit your needs. With so many varieties, there are plenty of options – as well as third-party accessories – available for customization, but all Weatherby Vanguard rifles are guaranteed to fire 3-shot groups of .99" or less at 100 yards (SUB-MOA) when used with Weatherby ammo. Weatherby Vanguard rifles also feature two-stage triggers that are honed by hand and then tuned and inspected. The housing is made of an alloy and can be adjusted down to 2.5 pounds. An enclosed sleeve helps redirect gasses and particles in case of rupture and is short to reduce weight. A recoil pad helps reduce strain from shooting. The rifles feature 3-position safeties and are positioned to allow the shooter to work the action while still engaged. This is all built to suit a one-piece machined bolt body, providing maximum strength and structural integrity.

The Winchester® XPR™ Hunter Bolt-Action Rifle combines proven concepts from Winchester's time-tested Model 70 with modern manufacturing processes and materials to produce a great hunting rifle at an affordable price. This XPR Hunter package comes with a composite stock, featuring full TrueTimber® Strata® camo, and a Permacote FDE finished barrel and receiver. TrueTimber Strata is an excellent all-purpose camo pattern that blends into nearly any environment at any distance. An innovative Inflex Technology Recoil Pad absorbs recoil considerably. A factory-mounted and bore sighted Vortex Crossfire II 3-9x40mm scope, with a BDC reticle, allows you to obtain the rifle's true accuracy potential. Precision accuracy is ensured with a solid steel receiver that sits solidly in the polymer stock with a cross-mounted recoil lug, and a free-floated, target-crowned barrel. The XPR uses a newly designed M.O.A. Trigger system that's adjustable for both over-travel and pull weight. The bolt on the XPR has 3 locking lugs with a short 60° lift. The Winchester XPR Hunter bolt-action rifle has a 2-position thumb safety that locks the bolt when engaged. The bolt can also be cycled when the safety is engaged by using the bolt release button. A cocking indicator on the bolt shroud can be seen or felt by the user to know if the rifle is cocked and ready to fire. A detachable, single-stack magazine facilitates loading and unloading the rifle.
