RE: weatherby vandguard
I have a 7mm Vanguard. I have very pleased with the quality of the gun and its performance. I did notice that it kicks more than a Browning A-Bolt chambered in the same caliber (my neighfbor has the A-Bolt and we both shot each gun several times). The Vanguad is heavier than the A-Bolt. That really shocked us.
A note to people who already own a Vanguard:
Weatherby did have a recall on some of the bolts on their guns. I sent the bolt back to them and they paid for shipping and replacement. Check their website, they were very helpful to me.
