Weatherby Vanguard 2 magazine conversion

[Thundakleese]

I, among many, took advantage of wholesale sports sale on the vanguard sale last week. I have been interested in these rifles for some time now and after coming home with my new hunting rifle, I remembered that nutnfancy had done a review on the series one vanguard. He talked highly of the legacy sports magazine conversion kit for it and subsequently made me want it. my question for y'all is if anyone knows where this kit can be purchased for the 30-06 model? Online or in store works for me.

They are made by Howa - the floorplate kits here are all from Legacy Sports.

You might have to special order in for a long action though.

I agree, It might not be available yet in Canada.
From the Ati legacy sports site:
"New, long action magazine kits and spare magazines will be available mid-year 2015 to fit Howa and the older models listed above, in .25-06, .270, .30-06 and 6.5 x 55 Calibers.

I just listed a 30-06 Weatherby Vanguard magazine conversion in the EE if anyone is looking for one.

I have the Lazermark, with polished blued barrel and action. The plastic just didnt match it well. On a composite gun with matte finish its a perfect match. Works perfectly, well made item.
