i bought a wby vanguard in 30-06 in 1970 and have taken more deer than i can remember.i have never had ANY kind of problem with it.in fact, i just got a wby vanguard in 300 mag and the trigger pull was 9.5# and i would have gotten rid of it had i not taken it to a gunsmith and had the trigger adjusted to 3.5#.i would not trade it for anything now.it has become my favorite gun.
