Is the Weatherby Vanguard just another Howa
You no I here all the time the Vanguard is just another Howa.
I know the Vanguard is made by Howa in Japan and they share the Howa 1500 action but that is it. And the action on the Vanguard is fluted and to me the action on the vanguard is smoother working also. And Weatherby uses their own barrels not Howa barrels, Next if you go to a Weatherby Dealer and check the trigger on the Vanguard now, I am not talking the old trigger you will see the Vanguard trigger has a much nicer pull than the Howa.(weatherby has did there home work there about time), so to me what I am asking here is the people I here all the time trying to tell people the Vanguard is the same as a Howa are they right yes on no? To me they are not it takes more than just the action to make a rifle.
And to me what makes a Vanguard a Weatherby is the walnut stocks. I have never seen a Howa look as good as the Vanguard Deluxe or the Sporter SS.
