Weatherby has announced the addition of a 6.5 PRC chambering into the Vanguard family, including the new Synthetic Green, and the extension of the Element Synthetic shotgun line, with the Element Tungsten.

The Weatherby Vanguard series of bolt-action rifles provides a match-quality, two-stage trigger, plus guaranteed sub-MOA accuracy out of the cold-hammer-forged barrel. The new Synthetic Green features the classic Monte Carlo Griptonite green stock with a bead-blasted matte-black blued finish. MSRP $619

The Weatherby Element series of semi-automatic shotguns are built on an inertia system to provide reliable cycling in an evenly-weighted gun. The single-piece receiver is precision machined from billet aluminum for strength and has been designed and built for high-volume shooters. The new Element Tungsten Synthetic model features a black polymer stock set paired with tungsten Cerakote metal work for maximum corrosion resistance.  MSRP $599

I grew up hunting whitetails in the Midwest, and while I thought I was in “elk shape” on my first western hunt, I quickly learned that chasing elk at high elevation requires an entirely different level of fitness.
