If the walmarts in CA could still sell guns and had that special I would buy one, and I already have a 308 norma! I'd buy it and keep it around as a lonaer rifle or give it to a relative/friend that started hunting.

MajorCaliber, you are talking about the plastic stocked Vanguard, right?

They later started carrying a Vanguard line with the fancy California stocks, but they used to run about %100 higher than the plastic ones, last time I looked.

Actually they can't .........they're mentally incompetent. The CA rules and regulations for firearms sales require the reading ability of an 8th grader. WalMart's store management teams have consistenetly shown that that is beyond their capabilities.

A Vanguard isn't half the rifle a Mauser is, but it is twice the rifle a Remington 700 is

I bought a walmart weatherby vanguard for $250 last year.It rusted like crazy if you touched the bluing and the bolt stop broke before I ever shot it.I swear walmart gets seconds and sells them for cheaper than anyone else.A good piece of wood on a walmart gun is from there pallets that they send to their gun makers.I also bought a crossbow because it was on clearence.The store put out a recall notice only after it had sold all of the crossbows.I think wal,mart is the death of sporting goods.Bass pro shop is just as bad I worked there once and there moto was sell them a piece of shit and they will come back for something better.There would be 75 % of the people that bought tasco scopes,cva muzzleloaders which I called pipebomb of the week,warren and sweat treestands worry and sweat I said and a bunch of redhead junk clothes they sold.I forgot wonderful mossberg shotguns they were gartenteed to jam.They would be buggies full of the same crap in the back.I had a bunch of trouble getting walmart to send my weatherby back in to fix the bolt stop.It would not keep the bolt from coming out.The remington 710 and the remington 597 are also two other pieces of crap.They both had problems.I never would have thought that reminton would ever make any bad 870pumps.they did a good job with the 870 express .There were alot of broken foreends and alot of them jammed.I laughed at guys who were too cheap to buy a good Ruger model 77 and instead bought a crappy winchester that was already rusting.I thought that the weatherby I got would not rust because it was new in the back of the store.Walmart would almost do us a favor to get out of the gun business.I have yet to have any crappy stuff from Cabelas yet.Everything I have bought from there is good.
