Is what Cabelas is selling the old Vanguards for, so I picked one up a couple weeks ago for my "exclusive" coyote gun.. Blued synthetic, in .243, and boy does that sonafabitch shoot!! Had some leupold Rem 700 rings and bases and a 4-12 Leupold in the safe, fed it some 55 Bt's pushed with H414@4000 fps, shoots 3/4'' all day long... Not bad for a $350.00 gun. They still had some left in 300 win and roy, 7 mag, 06' etc, no more 257's damn it! Great bang for the buck if your interseted.. Later

In case anyone is interested, I called the post falls store, they have 30:06 and .243 still available.

do they have trap doors on the bottom to unload the mag?

If you want a cheap gun that out shoots anything, the savage/stevens 200's are the best Ive seen.

it's been a while, but weren't the howas with hogue stocks still cheaper than that?  same rifle and all.

Don't know, I looked at a dealer catalog, vanguards are $372.00 at cost, so they are below cost. One thing I liked for being a cheapo, is they have a solid stock, versus the hollow POS that comes on a Tikka or Rem SPS. They also have a "short" action to acomadate the short action rounds, versus a cheese dick spacer in the clip like the Tikka.... Perty good value for a truck gun.....

They shoot reasonably well, I think they are one of the best gun values out there, especially at this price.

Thanks for the heads up.

Just might have to go down there and check them out.

Great solid gun!!

Saw those when I went down there... thats a good price for a good gun ....Weatherbeaters always shoot well  I am off to work but I need to let the traffic clear out  Maybe I stop in there today on my way back and check them out ....

[high country]

I think the vanguard is the most underrated gun made.

[257 Wby Mag]

Greg, I think your right. Perty impressed.....

PS, I'm still gonna call ya, just waitin on the 6.5 improved, which should be in the next month. Later

I bought a 257 Weatherby Vanguard last year from Bearpaws advice for wolves. It's a nice gun and I bought 8 boxes of 100gn SP from Big R. Happy camper.
