Introducing the Vanguard Badlands, a rifle that stands as a testament to both innovation and precision in the world of hunting firearms. This masterpiece is the first production rifle adorned with the renowned Badlands Approach® camouflage, setting it apart from its peers through an ingenious design crafted for stealth and adaptability.
The Badlands Approach® camo utilizes adaptive coloration technology, creating a neutral palette that seamlessly blends into various environments and lighting conditions. By incorporating multi-layered visual confusion, this pattern ensures shapes are indistinguishable to onlookers—an invaluable asset for hunters seeking to remain undetected by their quarry.
At the heart of this formidable tool is the Vanguard #2 contour barreled action. Coupled with its unique camouflage, this combination offers hunters an unparalleled advantage afield. The barrel length varies between 24 inches for non-magnum calibers like the 240 Weatherby Magnum and extends to 26 inches for magnum chamberings—all cold hammer forged for durability and accuracy.
- Caliber: 6.5 PRC
- Weight: A manageable 7.25 pounds
- Overall Length: An efficient 44½ inches

This rifle boasts several features designed with precision shooters in mind: an adjustable match-quality two-stage trigger allows crisp control; a fluted bolt body reduces weight while maintaining strength; and a Monte Carlo stock enhances comfort with textured forearm and grip areas.
