located one that has been recently re-barreled with Timney trigger; is this used gun worth a consideration>
Absolutely! I love my McMillan stocked Vanguard. The trigger was the worst part- I considered a Timney, but got acceptable results from judicious stoning, adjustment and lubrication of the factory unit.located one that has been recently re-barreled with Timney trigger; is this used gun worth a consideration>
As long as the rebarel is well done it should be a fine rifle.located one that has been recently re-barreled with Timney trigger; is this used gun worth a consideration>
Shouldn't- Weatherby would not have done the work if it considered the rifle unsafe- too much liability, right?it was re-barreled due to 3000+rounds shot; would this amount of shooting affect the stock integrity or action?
Maybe he just needs the money, who knows?owner wants 400; can't understand why he would have it rebarrled and then want to sell it; at this point, I am not able to shoot it.Ideas?
Not beyond the normal function check you should do with any new gun purchase. Work the bolt, see that the safety works, make sure it goes click on an empty chamber (a few dry fires won't hurt this gun)- look down the barrel with a bore light, check for crown damage..223; the man's a regular range shooter with several guns; is there a possible malady I should look for?
In a Vanguard, .223 recoil impulse is going to be negligible. Though BSAs aren't considered top end scopes, it shouldn't have any shock related issues on this gun.Before investing too much money, I would try an older BSA platinum 6x24 on it. Do you think the scope would hold up to .223?
running out of ammo?
The Howa 1500 actions that rifles built on are tough, reliable, surprisingly smooth, and very good quality. If wby did the rebarrel, and its already got a timney trigger id bet your good to go.
Ive been trying to sell my ar to buy a howa mini, ruger american, or even a regular sized howa rifle in .223...much prefer the mini, but basic ars dont sell for much so im limited in options lol.
This gun can't shoot 5.56; maybe that's a plus.
