I couldn' resist the Weatherby Vanguard 2, MOA select, for $249. Last Summer Walmart clearance. The fancy walnut version was $349..... 3006.... Sighted in with junky Red Head scope, under 10 rounds.... 2 stage trigger is excellent, as is 3 stage safety, nice upgrades to the original Vanguards. The barrelled action of course is a Howa 1500. The Weatherby stock, and assembly in US is fine, with fit and finish great. Palm swell, just feels like a great mountain rifle. I am reluctant
to change out the scope, as it shoots so well. 1 shot buck kill, on spot last season...
