Weatherby Vangaurd Deluxe Vs Sporter questions
 

What are the differences if there are any? Besides the obvious looks and higher gloss finish on the Deluxe. Is the action or trigger any better on a Deluxe? The reason I ask is I recently went into the local sporting goods store to look at a sporter they had one is stock but the sales man was more interested in selling me an Xbolt, he made mention that the trigger was better on an xbolt and if I was looking at a weatherby I he would more recommend the deluxe but he didn’t say why that was.

So does anyone really know what the real mechanical differences are between the Sporter and Deluxe?

AFAIK, it's all cosmetic.

The ONLY difference is cosmetic! The Deluxe is a "poor mans Mark V Deluxe" with the fancy grade Monte Carlo stock with rosewood caps, white spacers, chrome bluing & high polish stock.

The Sporter is a cheaper stock with oil finish, no pistol cap & the metal is bead blasted dull.

Performance wise one is just as good as the other, the Deluxe is just flashier & has that "Weatherby" flair & style. (Which I like, I have a MkV 300 Deluxe that is gorgeous & looks like a blued steel super model. :s4: ) But my sons no frills, much cheaper 243 Vanguard youth is just as accurate!

It's your $ & tastes :s4:
