Weatherby Vanguard H-Bar

20" #3 contour barrel threaded for a suppressor(if I ever get one...).

Hinged floorplate, only 40" OAL for the rifle which is an inch shorter than the Montana. Sounds about perfect and I see they go for under $600 on-line.

Sam'oseph,

Tough to find. PM Shortactionsmoker. He found me one.

Good choice.

My Ruger Hawkeye compact 223 is about 36" OAL. 16.5 inch barrel is easy to move around in a truck cab. Just about perfect for what you are wanting.

Charlie, regardless of the wood that CZ still might be too nice, it does look sweet!



Travino, I take it you like yours?

What cartridge?

Local store orders most of the their stuff from a Billings distributor so maybe they have one down there. Probably not though so thanks for the heads up.



And thanks to all for the good replies.

i'd go with the ruger american but its a magazine gun so not sure about the top loading requirement. i'd put the vx 1-4x20 scope on it but if you're shooting longer ranges then i'd go with a bushnell elite 3200 3-9x40 so as not to have a bunch of money in the glass just in case. i'd also go with the 308 vs a 223 but thats for deer. if this was a yote gun or some such then the 223 would be it.

I purchased a Remington 788 in 1973 new for, as I remember, $99.95! I fitted it with a discontinued Japanese 8x scope I purchased for $19.98. I specifically purchased it for a pickup/knock around firearm. It proved accurate and reliable. Amazing enough for me the scope is still on the gun and worked out to be pretty rugged and maintained its zero after rough use. I've use the rifle for varmint hunting, mainly for ground squirrels at range and rock chucks on local ranches. Even popped a few 'yotes and jack rabbits with it. Worked out a load with various 50 gr. bullets and various makes of brass and 20 gr. of H-4198.



I bought one in 243 about that time. Hauled that thing a million miles around in a gun rack behind the seat of my truck. No telling how much I shot with it. For some silly reason, I sold it. That's one I wish I had back.

Haha! Don't know! Not in my hands yet. But every Vanguard and Howa I own, I love. So I'm not too worried.

.223.

Sam,

Your next question will be "Which truck glass for my truck gun."

I got an answer for that too...

I've got a 30-40 Krag that lives on the back seat of my pickup...and is NEVER unloaded. I think you're probably looking for something a little more practical though. It is nice to never have to worry about a scope getting knocked off, though I have had an occasional peep get bent or come loose.

Maybe a plain-jane Rem 700 is what you're looking for. Nobody would think of stealing it, so you'd have that going for ya.

Where are you seeing the Weatherby Vanguard H-Bar for less than $600? There's plenty of regular vanguards in that price range, but it looks to me like the H-Bar is more like $1000-1200.

You're thinking of the one that comes with the B&C stock.

He's referring to the Weatherguard.

Sam,

I doubt you'd be disappointed with the Howa. You might also look at the Tikka 22-250 that Darrik. They're twisted and priced right.

Tough to beat that.

But if you want something you don't care about, I was going to recommend a Nikon Pro-Staff 3-9X40mm with the BDC.

Looks like a scope for peasants....


I might like it.



Do these peasant rifles take M700 bases?
