Try AJ Spurs when you get a chance. You won't regret it.
That blued Vanguard in the backcountry stock actually looks quite a bit like the original Vanguard (or sub-MOA model) in what they once called the Fiberguard stock. I still have a couple (257 Wby and 300 WSM), both of which were upgraded with Timney triggers that gave you a three-position safety, just as the new trigger does.
The weight reduction in the Back Country doesn't sound like much, but I definitely notice the difference. What's not to like about a 6 3/4 lb. tack-driving rifle with a 24 in. barrel?
