Yah, that's the shape. Simply do that with the "good" poly for the 1500s and Minis and we'd be all set IMO. ![[Linked Image from i.postimg.cc]](https://i.postimg.cc/VkJ4P9XM/Howa-x1500-91.jpg)

I am intrigued by the rifle. Particularly the .25-06. The Vanguard is the only "budget rifle" I have found in .25-06 with a 24 inch barrel, and if I get a 25, that is what I want.
If ifs and buts were like candy and nuts, it would be Christmas every day.

If there is a budget rifle out there it is the Remington 700. The Vanguard is better in every respect with the exception of weight. Vanguards have stepped up the game this year with the addition of 26" barrels.

I keep asking Santa Claus for a Vanguard in 7mm Weatherby, but he keeps ignoring me. Soooo, maybe your little elf self should help him out?

Does not seem that Weatherby gets much attention here, but I've always been interested in owning one, or a few. They seem like nice rifles. So many rifles to choose from so many manufacturers. I'm not a great shot to begin with, so was thinking of buying a rifle that has already been "verified", such as a Cooper or Weatherby RC. That way at least I know what the rifle CAN do. So I'm looking at Weatherby's website and WOW they have seriously reduced their offerings both in model and caliber options. For instance, in most of the Mark V the 30-06 and 308 Win is not available. But of course the 6.5 CREEDMORE is there  Had my eye on a their Weatherguard HBAR that was Range Certified, in 308 Win. Great rifle for the hunting I do. Should have bought it when it was avaialable. Guess they are feeling the pressure from competition and needed to weed out some low sellers. The weatherguard Hbar is still catalogued. It's under the legacy models

Weatherby is making a big mistake not offering their new 6.5 RPM in the Vanguard! A large segment of the market is being overlooked. Not a good decision if trying to elevate a new cartridge offering, imo. Only a matter of time
