Features 

The 1:16" twist rate is specific to .350 Legend projectiles. The one-piece forged receiver adds rigidity. A fully enclosed bolt sleeve keeps debris out of the action. The two-stage trigger is adjustable for pull weight. The 3-position safety allows safe loading and unloading while keeping the action locked. The receiver is drilled and tapped for scope mounting.

The Vanguard Obsidian in .350 Legend is well-regarded, with most feedback focused on its bolt action feel and caliber performance.

The smooth bolt operation draws consistent praise. The .350 Legend is appreciated for its low recoil relative to its terminal performance — hunters using it on medium game report clean results without the fatigue of heavier cartridges. The Obsidian's finish and overall look are mentioned favorably.

Weight is the main complaint. At 7.3 lbs some find it heavy for the class, which becomes noticeable over long carry distances. Aftermarket accessory options are more limited than for more popular platforms, which is a frustration for owners who want to customize. Overall the sentiment is positive, and it's frequently recommended as a solid option in its caliber class.
