So I placed a bid on Gunbroker and ended up winning it with my max bid. If the other guy would have bid once more he would have had it. It is a Weatherby Vanguard (Howa) with a Hart Precision 22 inch fluted barrel in .250 Savage with a matte grey Cerakote finish in an HS Precision stock with a Bushnell LRHS Elite 3-12x44 scope with a G2H reticle. Hart did the barrel fitting and bedding the stock. It will go great with my TC Contender .250 Savage! I do think the huge 30mm scope might have to head down the road. A fixed 6x42 would be right at home on it though

Were it a 1-7" Speedmire throated for 88/90's and wearing better bases/rings,with the G3 Lit version(LRTSI '12x),she'd be a PEACH. Hint.

I wish Weatherby would have put the .250 Savage they made on the Varmint Master action into production. I remember reading an article in one of the gun rags about it but it never came to fruition

The only thing worse than a Weatherby 6-lugger,is a Weatherby 9-lugger and the Howie Tandem Lugger trumps both. Hint.

Pretty slick. Congrats.

Someone else’s notion is often a bargain for the next guy.

I think the Howa is still one of the most underrated actions out there
