Is there a difference between the 1500 Lightning and the Vanguard S2?
There are 3 basic differences that I can think of:
1. COST; the 1500 costs $330+/- at Whittaker's, while the V2 runs from $500 up.
2. BARREL LENGTH; the 1500 has a 22" barrel, while the V2 has a 24" barrel.
3. STOCKS; the 1500 has a Hogue, while the V2 has an injection molded Weatherby.
I have both rifle in 6.5 Creedmoor. I put the V2 in a McM McM Hunter style stock and recycled the V2 stock onto the 1500 'cause, as noted previously, I STRONGLY DISLIKE the Hogue stocks that came on my 1500s.
