It IS a Weatherby Vanguard! The Weatherby Vanguard action is a Howa product. They are excellent rifles andcan be found in the used market labeled as S&W 1500's as well.

To whom does one send a Howa when it need repair/service/warranty work? I can't seem to find a web site with any info. Their ***anese site shows guns, but doesn't give any more info. about 'em.

To me, it's worth another $100 in peace of mind knowing I could send the gun back to Weatherby if I had to.

They are made in ***an and imported by Legacy Sports International in Nevada. For service you would contact them. http://legacysports.com/support/index.htm

I'd purchase a Howa over a Savage any day of the week and twice on Sunday.
