Does anyone have one of these? If so how do you like it? How much does it weigh and how does it balance?
I have a daughter-in-law who is not very big but likes to shoot and would like to learn to hunt. She needs a smaller rifle (meaning short stock and fairly light weight) so she can hold it. Been wondering about a Vanguard youth in 7mm-08 so she can hunt antelope, deer and elk in the future.
She has shot my 257s, her husband's 6mm Rem and 270. The 270 had too much recoil for her.
So if anyone has any experience with Vanguard youth rifles, please chime in.
........No personal experience with a Vanguard youth, but have a compact rifle.
The Wby site lists the youth Vanguard with a 12.5" LOP, a rifle weight of 6.5 lbs, with an OAL of 39"....
Really cannot see any reason why she wouldn`t be happy with a Vanguard youth. A very good looking rifle. Should be easy to carry and handle well.
