I picked up a few new Weatherby Vanguard's at Wal-Mart a few years ago. They were marked down to $175.00 each so I bought a 30-06 and a .270. I sold the '06 but still have the .270. Both had test targets showing less than one inch groups at 100 yards.
I have since installed a Timney trigger, Bell & Carlson Medalist stock (full aluminum bedding), Leupold rings and bases and a Sightron S2 3-9x42 scope. This is one sweet rifle and I think I will end up keeping this one around for a while.
I noticed Howa is now making a much more expanded line of rifles based on the 1500 including some real nice looking varmint guns with beautiful plywood.
Weatherby seems to have introduced some new Vanguard lines as well.
Anyone else here into these guns? I think they are much better made than the new Remington 700's and easily as accurate as Savage. Plus they are cheap!
