I just received a new 2003 Weatherby catalog in the mail and they had the vangards on the first paige in a bunch of new calibers 223 22-250 etc I assume you will be able to buy them from a sporting goods store now. They have the stainless and blues synthetic anyone have any ideas?

Does Howa have the same accuracy guarantee as the vangard?

Its the exact same gun.Howa produces the vanguard

I just bought a Howa Varmint Hunter in .22-250 last week and I love it. The first time I shot it it was shooting three shot groups under 1/2" at 50 yds. in only 8 rounds. Unfortunately just as I moved out to 100 yds. a very thick fog rolled in and through my scope it pretty much obliterated the target so I had to quit for the day but I have great expectations for my next trip to the range. The action of this rifle is just as smooth as my good old (1962) M700 Rem. and the trigger is perfect for me. The fit and finish are excellent and at $379 I don't think you can beat it.
