Does anyone know if you can buy Weatherby Vanguards in Canada? I know they're being distributed by WalMart in the USA, and you can get them for a song. I'd really like to pick up a new Vanguard, but I don't want to have to import it from the USA, although, it would probably be cheaper than buying in Canada...

No problem finding one in Canada. Theres one in the shop not far from here. The mail order shops like Russell's etc all offer them for a decent price too.

Good deal, thanks for the heads-up. I've been thinking of getting a .270 WSM for a treestand rifle, and then sending it to Prairie Gun Works (or whatever they're called now) and getting it taken up a notch. Thanks again!

I haven't seen a dealer in Montreal. Also S.I.R. mailorder doesn't carry them. You might be wise to inquire at
http://www.legacysports.com to find out who their dealers are in your area. Legacy distributes Howa rifles which is who makes the Vanguards. I've seen provisions on their website for dealer inquiries. Best wishes.

Order it from Alberta and save the PST for other usefull things. I know Russell's carries them. I can't say in what calibre though.

I'll check out Russell's for sure. I know Legacy offers the Howa 1500 barrelled actions, I could likely buy one and have PGW bed it in a Weatherby replacement stock (I like the Tan/Black Web stock...) and get a general accurizing done.

Mikey. I checked out the shop up here I mentioned. They have two. One in 270 Win, one in 300WSM. Both blued synthetic, both $599.00

Yeah, I got a reply from Russell's, they're waiting on an order of the "new" Vanguards, the 2005 model with the Monte Carlo stock, the one they currently list is the straight stock... They'll keep me informed. I hope the price doesn't change bcause they're asking $519 for them. I'm not planning on buying until end of September at the earliest though, so hopefully the new ones will be in. I don't think I could hide the cost of a new Mark V from my wife!

Got to love those prices. You will save the provincial sales tax too. Its 7% here.

I just saw a vanguard 300 win mag in the calgary bargain finder. Comes with sling, supressor, etc. $775.00 403-547-6591

Hope it helps!!!

I got my last rifle, a Remington 700BDL in .25-06 from SIR Mail Order Catalog. Not only did I save our 8% sales tax, but they registered it for me. They seem like good people to do business with. Best wishes.
