I had one, synthetic stock, nice enough. I gave it to my nephew. Now there's another in the pawn shop, Leupold 2.5 - 8x, duplex. 30-06 cal, which is the primary attraction, and a nice piece of wood. The end cap on the pistol grip is inlaid. Weatherby offers custom wood. I think this might be one. It's in 85% - 95%. They want $649 for it. I should probably knock off 20% ($520) and wave some $100 bills at them. The economy is tight right now. Rifles are like whores standing on the corner. | ||

The original Vanguards, made in Japan by Hoya, in the early 70s had nice (walnut?) looking wood stocks in the typical glossy Weatherby style but without the skip-line pattern in the checkering. The barreled action is a slightly modified copy of Sakos. It's really a very good rifle for the money. Mine is in .243, one of the very first Wea. had produced in that caliber. It shoots well but not spectacularly. I've killed quite a few deer, a few ground hogs and a pile of crows with it. It's not for sale. | |||

Yeah, Walnut stock, glossy, and end cap on the grip has a diamond inlay, and a "spacer" of lighter wood. Seems like maybe a diamond inlay in the fore-end. (You look at a hundred rifles and they start flowing together on the details.) Howa is the mfg. Japan. Current offerings have adjustable trigger, and warranted MOA accuracy. -- Or a Rem. 700, Win. Mod. 70 . . . I'm looking and undecided. This Weatherby looks nice, but there's a lot of options out there. Nice Rem. w/ a cheap Tasco scope. I can always put new glass on it . . . | |||
