Been looking for a 7mag. Put in request to be notified about everywhere when one gets in stock. Buds emailed me and said they had weatherby vanguards badlands. Its a model with the metal a bronze color and a brown camo stock. Wasnt really what i was looking for but figured if i didnt like it i could always trade it off. Well it came yesterday and in person it actually looks cool. I mounted a 4x12 leupold on it. Ill say this. This vanguard has hands down the best factory trigger ive ever seen on a working mans bolt gun. It breaks with absolutely no creep at 2.7 lbs. Hope its a shooter. Ive had crap luck in the past with 7mags. Had three of them and none of them were shooters. that said they were all rugers so that might explain it. Comical thing is i had 3 buddys stop by yesterday and we were all sitting around the loading room and i also had my new 70 featherweight 280 out there. It has some VERY exceptional wood for a factory rifle. But the gun they all were attracted to was the weatherby. Now me give me nice wood any day of the week.
