Weatherby Vanguard Compact Truck Gun 243 Win 20" 5+1 Bolt-Action Rifle

The Weatherby Vanguard Compact Truck Gun in 243 Win is a purpose-built bolt-action rifle trimmed down for truck-bed carry, tight-cover hunting, and any application where a shorter, faster-handling carbine pays off.

Built on Weatherby's proven Vanguard action and dressed out with a 20" threaded barrel, this rifle delivers a compact 39.5" overall length and a trim 7 lbs carry weight, making it easy to stow and quick on target. The 1:10" twist stabilizes a wide range of .243 Winchester bullet weights, and the factory-installed muzzle brake helps manage felt recoil for faster follow-up shots.

The receiver is machined from steel and finished in Graphite Black Cerakote for corrosion resistance and a low-glare field profile. The action ships without iron sights, leaving a clean platform for mounting your preferred optic. A crisp two-stage trigger and a 3-position safety round out the controls, giving predictable shot release and safe handling in the field.

The stock is a Monte Carlo design with a Camouflage finish group and a shortened 13" length of pull, ideal for smaller-framed shooters, quick handling, and shooting from awkward positions in close quarters.

The Vanguard CTG holds 5+1 rounds of 243 Win, balancing serious down-range reach with a short, packable profile that lives at home in a truck, scabbard, or backpack.
