you do know the Vangaurd is made by Howa Right ?, they make the action and barrels and ship them to weatherby only to be put together.

They are also ugly and I hate those rubber stocks.
If you can swing it, get a sub moa or the sage brush camo model.

I got a howa .308 from drillerj and it shoots 1 ragged hole with 168 gr. fed. sierra match kings.
I was surprised, but did some reasearch and howa is a solid rifle.

The guys saying Weatherby are buying the name and have no exp with Howa I say Weatherby. I have no experience with Howa. The Weatherby Vanguard has Weatherby's adjustable trigger and that was what made up my mind. That trigger is not available on the HOWA 1500. No regrets.
Good Hunting,
