Thread: Vanguard by Weatherby Rifle - any experiences or reviews?

The vanguard you have @bjp is a Howa 1500, just with a different logo. Americans are a bit funny about using guns made in Japan...

I had a 270 vanguard as my first centrefire rifle, good rifle and did all the things it needed to. I put a lighter trigger spring in, bought online from GunBloke in australia. Pre the HACT trigger in the newer Howas.

If I set the adjustment screws to 3lb or less trigger pull there was gritty creep in the trigger. Felt like sand over glass sort of thing.
With a heaver pull weight that wasn't an issue. They are well made rifles and work well.
