Yesterday, I bought a Weatherby Vanguard in 7mm Mag. I was wanting something in 30-06, but there was nothing in a Weatherby in stock at the local Wally World.
Anyway, the rifle seems to be well made; bolt was smooth, no discernable gaps between the action and the stock. Trigger on the Vanguards I've handled in the past are pretty nice; about 3.5 lbs. with very little creep, and no readily apparent over-travel.
I will need to get bases and rings for a scope. Also, I need to get a scope
I've got to get some brass, bullets, and powder for the thing to develop a load for deer and hogs. Was thinking about using a 160 grain bullet at around 2,800 fps for deer and hogs; if I am ever fortunate enough to go elk or grizzly bear hunting, I'd probably go with a 175 grain bullet.
Anyway, I thought I'd share the good news.
