Anyone know if all the Weatherby Vanguards have the same action and barrel?

It seems to me the price difference between all the models currently are just different stocks or cerakoted or muzzle brakes etc etc.

Thanks all
 
They come in a long and a short action. Bolt faces vary, according to chambering.
Series 1 have 2 position safety, Series 2 has 3 position. Different trigger. [2-stage]
Otherwise, mostly cosmetic. These are great rifles. Dave
 
There is an era before the S1's as well.
I do own one.
Curious to know how these fit in as far as parts x-overing?
I've had numerous S1's & 2's and the blueing is far better on the
originals.

Agreed,. Some of the earliest ones only have 1 gas vent in the bolt body opposed to the multiple vents in the newer models. Some of the Vanguard weather guards from the late 80's early 90's have a much lighter pencil contour barrel as well.


However in the modern variety's you have long and short action. Stainless or Chrome Moly. Then a few models with Bell and Carlson stocks and/or Cerakote finishes. Pretty much like all manufacturers right now.

There are action differences between series 1 and series 2 as pointed out.

Barrels also vary between models beyond just cerakote. The Accuguard for example has a heavy barrel, and a couple of the models have fluting.
