Very nice. I was eyeballing these before they actually were available. I bought my first Vanguard back in the early 80s. It still drives nails, literally. I used to put roofing nails in cardboard boxes at various ranges and shoot until all nails were driven through the side of the box. Standing, kneeling, prone.
Most do not realize that the early Vanguards actually cost about $50 more than M700s and M70s. But still a lot less than a Mark V.
The 1500 is an excellent action and has been for decades. I will take it over any Savage or Tikka, regardless of what the new wave of "rifle experts" say........
