Posted By: Jericho Weatherby Vanguard Question - 11/27/22
Handled a Weatherby Vanguard with a synthetic stock with skulls on it. Cool looking rifle, but not to my liking. Are these still being made?
I think I saw a T-Bolt like that once.
Vanguards? Sure, along with the similar Howas.

Skull stocks? No idea, and less interest.

Looking over their website, I don't see any that have skulls on the stock. The only one that I see that has skulls on it anywhere is the HUSH edition that has an elk skull on the floorplate.
These are human skulls and this is the second Weatherby firearm I have seen with this design.
Weatherby Vanguard black reaper
Apparently this rifle was for the Canadian market
They sold them in the U.S. also I think they called them reapers
I think it was part or the WBY-X line of vanguards about 10 years ago most were youth models that came with stock spacers and had stocks dipped in patterns with skulls, flames, camo out of antlers, pink, etc, and were marketed to kids who weren’t interested into blued steel and walnut.
“Bonz” camo we’re on some for a while.
