So years ago in a trade i acquired a Weatherby Vangaurd with a serial number that put it in the first year they were imported. it is not the normal Howa bolt with the holes in it, it is a claw type and pretty sure it has some of the characteristics of a Sako. The rifle become my favorite it has killed countless whitetails, BUT the bolt opens extremely easy and when over ur back i have lost the bolt twice in the woods, one time i walked the trail back and the second time i heard it hit the ground, So i look online yup there is a 3 position safety for it, weatherby themselves say yup should fit, take to gunsmith all I have is a 3 position safety that work like a 2 position safety no bolt lock, weatherby then say WELL it might not fit LOL can't really blame then the gun is well older that they are. So were these Sako knock offs the first year and I may need a sako trigger if there is such a thing. Anyone dealt with this, i have it at the second gunsmith and he is getting ready to take a look at it. ThANKS, always appreciate the input.
