Weatherby Vanguard Black Hills 6.5 PRC Rifle

The Weatherby Vanguard Black Hills is a bolt-action rifle chambered in 6.5 PRC, with a black finish and a 24-inch threaded barrel. A factory muzzle brake is fitted to the threads. It weighs 7.5 pounds, measures 44.5 inches overall and holds 3+1 rounds. The three-position manual safety is standard, and the Peak 44 Black Hills stock is designed for ergonomic handling.

Any centerfire rifle is legal for deer in Maine, and the 6.5 PRC chambering is a flat-shooting option for the 2026 firearms season from a residents-only Saturday on October 31 through November 28. The optics-ready Picatinny rail and the Arca/Pic forearm adapter let a hunter add a scope and a bipod. The muzzle brake helps control recoil. The Peak 44 stock is listed for a stable shooting platform.
