Actually howa makes the vanguard for weatherby.They are a well made rifle,and a very good value for the price.As to a scope,the elite 3200 3x9x40 is a good scope for the price.

I have found HOWA to build quality rifles ,(theymake The Vangurad) and have had good results with mine, as it actually shot like a Vanguard as well. I will own another HOWA.
