Weatherby Vanguard Camilla Wilderness
Weatherby, Inc. · Rifle · In Production · 2018
Also known as: Vanguard Camilla Wilderness, Camilla Wilderness
Overview
The Weatherby Vanguard Camilla Wilderness is a bolt-action hunting rifle in the Camilla line, tailored for women and smaller-stature shooters, built on the push-feed Vanguard action. Unlike the walnut-stocked base Camilla, the Wilderness wears a green hand-laid fiberglass stock with black webbing, a shortened 13-inch length of pull, a raised comb for scope-eye alignment, and a slim palm-swell forearm. It carries a 20-inch threaded barrel (1/2x28), a matte bead-blasted blued finish, a match-quality two-stage trigger adjustable down to about 2.5 pounds, a three-position safety, a hinged floorplate, and a sub-MOA accuracy guarantee. It is offered in several short-action chamberings including 6.5 Creedmoor.

Notes
Named after Camilla Weatherby, wife of company founder Roy Weatherby. The Wilderness model adds a weatherproof synthetic stock and threaded barrel to the women's-fit Camilla stock geometry.
Background
Roy Weatherby's wife Camilla was a partner in the company from its 1945 founding; the Camilla line of rifles was created to honor her and to fit the rifle to women hunters. The Wilderness variant extends that fit into an all-weather field build.
