Weatherby Vanguard® Synthetic Compact — .223 Rem, 5+1 | 20" Matte Blued #1 Threaded Barrel | Matte Blued Steel Receiver (Drilled & Tapped) | Black Adjustable Synthetic Stock | VYT223RR0T | UPC 747115456529
Compact, Accurate, and Field-Hardy—Your Do-Everything .223 Rem
The Weatherby Vanguard® Synthetic Compact in .223 Remington blends fast handling with proven accuracy for varmint, predator, range, and ranch duty. A lightweight 20" #1 sporter contour barrel keeps overall length down for tight quarters and quick shots, while the matte blued finish and steel receiver (factory drilled & tapped for optics) deliver real-world durability. The black adjustable synthetic stock tailors length of pull for youth, smaller-framed shooters, and layered cold-weather clothing—so everyone on the property can run one rifle with confidence. With a 5+1 capacity and a factory-threaded muzzle for brakes or suppressor mounts (where legal), this compact Vanguard is built to work hard, season after season.
Caliber: .223 Remington • Capacity: 5+1 • Barrel: 20" #1 contour, threaded, matte blued • Receiver: Matte blued steel, drilled & tapped • Stock: Black adjustable synthetic • Model: VYT223RR0T • UPC: 747115456529
Why This Vanguard Compact Is a Standout
20" #1 Sporter, Threaded From the Factory
The shorter 20-inch tube stays lively in vehicles, blinds, and brush while maintaining excellent velocity for common .223 loads. The #1 sporter contour is easy to carry all day, and the threaded muzzle lets you add a brake or suppressor mount to flatten recoil and muzzle rise.
Thread Pitch Note: Many .223 sporters ship with 1/2×28; confirm your serialized spec card before purchasing any device or mount.
Matte Blued Steel Receiver—Optics Ready
The matte blued finish knocks glare for field work, and the steel receiver arrives drilled & tapped so you can mount quality bases/rings and get on glass immediately.
Adjustable Synthetic Stock for a Custom Fit
The black synthetic stock resists weather and hard knocks. An adjustable length-of-pull system (spacers) dials fit for different shooters and seasonal clothing, improving eye relief, cheek weld, and consistency.
.223 Rem: Low Recoil, High Utility
From prairie dogs and fox to training days at the range, .223 Rem provides flat trajectories, low recoil, wide ammo availability, and great barrel life—ideal for new shooters and seasoned hands alike.
