Not sure if Fox qualify as Yote replacement. (don't have yotes on our little Island)
The small rifles come and go, at the moment I share two 223's with my son. Summer time I love sitting out in the evenings and watching over valleys for fox. Autum or winter we lamp at night.
Remmy 17 rebarrelled with a take off to 223 1/9. E-Tac stock. trigger lousy but the rifle shoots really well. First shot at a fox was at 360m in wind. She shoots very well with cheap American Eagle gr HP. Fox in the pic was taken from the bedroom balcony. The day before the vixen had taken a wild pheasant chick in our garden. The wife ordered to get it.
Then a T3 sporter with Atlasworx mag, 1/8 twist Multipurpose and Sporter prototype carbon stock. Rifle also shoots extremely well with 50gr AE. Love those 6.5-20x50 Zeiss conquest. have two of them.

My Weatherby VAC just put down its first song dog this morning.
300 yards roughly, 6.5 CM drops a fair amount.
First shot put it into a spin. Second put it down.

Yep, sure was nice to finally get out today!
Thanks! Next hunt will be with my new Bob.
Right now it is sitting on my quad in my garage. Had a big hunny to do list I had to get done after hunting. Will skin it soon.

Very nice. I almost purchased that scope yesterday.
I have a problem. Another one.
243. Weatherby.
Going to have to take a pic of the first dog with this one. I had 3 days off in a row coming up, sadly have got the flu. So instead of 3 days calling, it will be 3 days coughing.

Looks like a sweet rig. Can't wait for the hero pic!
How do you like the vanguard, fit and finish wise I've be contemplating one for awhile

My last three bolt guns have been vanguards. You can say Im a fan.
Precision made in japan, all metal no plastic garbage parts.
Two stage adjustable trigger. I have yet to own one that wasn't a crisp break!
SUB MOA accuracy guarantee with match ammo. Always delivers. Have yet to have one over 1 moa with decent factory ammo.
So solid and well made for an amazingly competitive price. Just get to much out of them!
I have owned and tried savage, Remington, tikka and ruger.
The vanguard matches their "higher" end rifles for just a bit over the budget price.
It fills a nice gap in the market, I feel like they are hidden gems.
Most manufactures you need over 1k for a decent rifle. Even then there are still some draw backs sometimes. Like mag issues or rust ect...

I have heard the same good things about these vangards. Hummmm just to find the right deal.
Are they a hinged floor plate or internal box ?

BOTH! I dont see the DBM in stores much but im sure they could order...
Some dislike it. I prefer it, less things to get snagged on drop or forget. Plus it is metal not some cheap savage or ruger plastic mag that doesn't seat or feed properly.
There are upgrades to DBM mags but the aftermarket stuff is plastic and I dont trust it. I have not used a stock DBM vanguard.
I know the stock DBM vanguards are a push button release so no chance of a branch dropping your mag.
