steve_b_wales Posted March 28, 2017 Report Share Posted March 28, 2017 I've got a Howa 1500 Varmint in .204 and it's an excellent well made rifle. Weatherby are a very good manufacturer of quality rifles too, so the choice is yours. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ZG47 Posted April 23, 2017 Report Share Posted April 23, 2017 The only significant difference between the two, is that the bolt shroud on the Vanguard comes out a bit more on the left side, to stop any gases or bits of brass getting into your eye if a primer is pierced or a case lets go.
