Hello all I am having the Weatherby custom shop put a 25 barrel on a older Vanguard I have. I have no logical reason for the caliber other than it has always interested me and my friend had one when I was young that I was always envious of.

I don't have any "lighter" rifles so I am leaning toward their new #2 fluted 24" barrel that come on the new wilderness rifles. They are going to matte blue the action and bolt to match and put a detachable magazine on it. Picked out a brown with black web B&C stock and Timney trigger. Pretty excited for the poor man's custom. laugh

Just curious if this idea is flawed, I don't have any experience in putting something like this together. I thought maybe the light barrel was a bad idea for the caliber but they produce them so maybe it will be a fine set up. Thanks
