weatherby vangaurd 243

[madmack76]

they got a weatheby vangaurd on sale around town for 500 with a scope anybody got any storys good or bad was thinking of buyiny it for my daughters first deer rifle but dont know much about them

[Buckmark]

Is it the one with both stocks (Youth and Fullsize) if so i'd get it.. The they are good guns, and very nice for a first gun and if you are getting both stocks then it worth it..

[jackelope]

it's a good price for a great shooter. you can usually buy them synthetic stock and blued without a scope for $399. if you're getting a scope and an extra stock i'd be all over it.

[madmack76]

i dont know if it comes with the extra stock i will have to check into that never shot one but have heard good things about them

Cabelas had them new for $479 a couple of weeks ago.

Good rifle but usually the scopes that come with those package deals aren't worth having. Just as long as you know you will probably have to replace the scope at some point.

My nephew has a Vangaurd and it shoots great. You should be very happy with that rifle.

my dad bought the one that came with 2 stocks just put the adult stock on it its a great shooter nice balance with the 20" barrel

that sums it up. i would replace the scope myself. the rifle is a great rifle they shoot very good as well. also you might check out tikka along the way about the same money and i like them a bit more.

A lot of the Vanguard packages come with a Nikko Stirling scope, if it does you most likely will not have to replace it, they are nice scopes, depending on the line. I had one and regret selling it.

[madmack76]

yea i looked at tika but they just felt cheap i know there good guns but i personaly just don't like them

[demontang]

Love the vanguard. That package should have a bushnell 3-9x40 on it which isnt that bad of a scope. The msrp is around $700 if its the packed with the scope and gun case.

The Howa's have the nikko scope

Well said madmac76, I don't like the Tika's either. That said, there is sure a bunch of good folks that swear by Tika.
