The Weatherby Vanguard Camilla 6.5 Creedmoor 20 in Threaded Rifle is purpose-built for shooters who need a precision platform that actually fits. With a 13-inch length of pull, slim grip, and raised comb, this rifle eliminates the compromises most women shooters face with standard stocks. Chambered in 6.5 Creedmoor with a 20-inch cold hammer-forged barrel and 1/2×28 threaded muzzle, it delivers consistent sub-MOA performance out of the box while keeping weight manageable for all-day carry.

Key Features
- 13-inch length of pull – Why it matters: Standard LOPs run 13.5 to 14 inches, which forces shorter shooters to overreach, compromising cheek weld and trigger control. This stock brings the grip back where it belongs, keeping your body square and your support hand stable.
- Higher comb with slim pistol grip – Why it matters: A raised comb aligns your dominant eye directly behind the scope without craning your neck. The slim grip reduces hand fatigue during long strings and fits smaller hands naturally.
- 20-inch cold hammer-forged barrel with 1/2×28 threading – Why it matters: Cold hammer-forging compresses the steel, creating a bore that holds accuracy longer between cleanings. The threaded muzzle lets you mount a suppressor or brake without a gunsmith, and the 20-inch length retains enough velocity to keep 6.5 Creedmoor flat past 800 yards.
- Reduced negative-angled recoil pad – Why it matters: Standard recoil pads often slip off the shoulder under recoil. This pad is angled to hook into your shoulder pocket, reducing felt recoil and keeping the rifle planted for fast follow-up shots.
- Hand-laid fiberglass stock with black webbing – Why it matters: Fiberglass is lighter than synthetic blends and dampens vibration better than wood. The webbing adds grip texture in wet conditions without being abrasive against clothing.
Who It’s For
This rifle is for women shooters, smaller-framed men, or anyone who has struggled with standard-length stocks. If you’ve ever had to scootch forward on a factory stock to reach the trigger, or felt the comb was too low to see through your scope clearly, the Camilla solves both problems. It’s also ideal for hunters who carry a rifle for miles and want sub-MOA accuracy without the weight of a custom chassis system.
Pros / Cons
- Pro: Sub-MOA guarantee out of the box – Weatherby test-fires every Vanguard and guarantees three-shot groups under 1 MOA at 100 yards.
- Pro: Threaded barrel from the factory – no need for aftermarket threading or a new barrel.
- Con: The stock is not adjustable for comb height or LOP beyond the factory dimensions – if you need finer tuning, you’ll be replacing the stock with an aftermarket chassis.
