I saw one of these but wasn't sure if was a youth model or not until I saw the website. I thought one of them in 243 would make a nice deer rifle. Anyone have one of 'em?

It's made by Howa, if that means anything.

The only one I have seen had a 20" barrel with a "youth" stock installed. It also came with a full size stock to install once the youth stock became too small. It is made by Howa which makes a good quality rifle. You can buy the Howa a little cheaper in most places if that matters.

I have a full sized Vanguard and love it. I also have a Sako and a custom Remington 700 and I choose the Vanguard most times. Mostly because it's chambered in my favorite caliber, but it has to be a great rifle to edge out the Sako.
