The price was great, and I'm too rickety to get hammered by my 300 Wby anymore, so I sent off a check for this Vanguard in the long-shooting 6.5-300 Wby. It has factory camo and a 26" fluted barrel. Does anyone know this model's name?

It better be good. I just spent more on ammo, scope, and dies than for the rifle.

It has a logo like wings on the stock two places on the right side. It's right behind the grip in this photo. And it's at the front right of the stock forend in this one.

Looks like a vanguard stock. Same shape as my Vanguard Ibex. Could it be dipped?

Pretty fhuqking funny,that a VG in a schit handle,is going to "mask" felt recoil,given the schit recoil pad and weight reduction. I'll not even mention COAL,due the Goat Fhuqk chambering. Hint.

If anyone knows about goat fugqing it's you. Laughing at a guy who gets his jollies denigrating things. You're a sorry excuse for a pile of human DNA, Stick. Now, go back to chasing your dog with your pants down.
