Nice 👍. There one of the nicest budget rifles like a Tikka, there performance and quality is well above there prices point. My vanguard is a range certified in 7mm Rem mag, pillar and glass bedded from the factory in a Bell and Carlson stock ( green with black spider webs ). It shoots every bit as good or better then some of my safe/ range princesses 0.33moa with cheap 175gr SP federal power shok factory loads. It’s like Howa mashed a model 70 and 700 together for there 1500 and Weatherby said refine it a little bit more, put it in a nicer stock and stick our name on it for our budget line. God bless Weatherby for making quality there top priority.
