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.

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.

I've got one and it's about 20 yrs old. I've only had two problems with it, one, the stock split at the rear tang (believe that's right) bolt. I sent it back to Weatherby and they replaced the stock for me and I must admit, they put a beautiful piece of wood on it, way better than the one that came on it. The other problem is that mine kicks like a horse, it's a 300 Win Mag. Haven't hunted with it in several years. Been thinking about having a muzzle break or something done to relieve some of the recoil. Other than that it's a great gun.

For the money,the Vanguard is a fine rifle! I have one in a .300 Weatherby and it's a great shooter...;)
