What a shame, the best WBY,s wer Made by Howa in Japan. Better than the old german ones, better machine work, and they made them for less money. Class one machinework. They were made so fine that one could interchange the bolts and the headspace would be exact!!!!!!! Now HOwa is making the take offs of the WBY vanguard ,what they made for WBY. What was orginnaly disigned off the Sako action with changes. How things change. I DO KNOW for i was there!!Vangunsmith
