Hoyt, thank you for making the world a better place. Some things are better just left alone, you have the wisdom to see through that.
Who sells WBY Vanguard synthetic rifles?

Yeah these things happen, sometimes you just have to shrug and let things go. In the end its only a saw; a guy often spends more than that trying to make a gun shoot. Maybe karma will bring you a new Stihl?
Happy New Year.

Good on you hoyt! I can respect that for sure.
I called Dante this morning to enquire about the stock on the SS Vanguard in 300WM. They informed me that it was in fact an injection molded stock and not the B&C stock that many (incl. myself) would have preferred and hoped for.
I cancelled my order.

So the picture is incorrect?
I had a feeling, and am now very happy I waited to confirm. Thanks for posting.

I got mine. Standard stock, stainless, 26" barrel. Nice trigger. This aint your gramma's tupperware though, its considerably stiffer than the stocks on my Accumark and Ultra lightweight Mark Vs. Assuming it shoots, I reckon its worth the 777.77 as a rough weather and boat gun.

Picked my two up yesterday from the post office. Stocks are decent, better than what I thought after finding out they aren’t b&c stocks. Lop seems a bit a long tho.

LOP is 13 1/2" or a tiny bit less. I weighed it on a couple scales and came up with 6.5 and 6.6 pounds.
Wow that's an excellent deal at that price. I'm surprised how lite they are. My Kimber Montana 8400 7wsm weighs 6lb 3oz with a 24" barrel.
My Kimber Montana .270 WSM weighs 6 pounds with a Leupold 4.5-14 x 40 LR 30mm tube side focus and steel rings and bases. The Weatherby weight is just the bare rifle
That works out perfectly with the CRF that works upside down.
The scope weighs 2.4 ounces more, and is the same length and diameter as a 3.5-10 x 40 VX3 which is practically iconic. It mounts in low rings.Speaking of rings, I could save more weight than that by changing them. When a rifle, cartridge and range deserves more 10 power and fixed parallax its a logical step up.

I have the exact set up, same scope, 4.5-14X40 LR 30mm tube with side focus, I will re weigh my set up. I got it WSS back in 2007. I believe they advertised it at 6lb 3oz for the bare rifle, could be my memory though, age has a way of doing that. My Mountain Ascent 84L weighs 5lb 3oz advertised weight. Need a new scale me thinks
