Brought home today an orphaned Weatherby Vanguard in 308. It has a greenish colored overmolded type stock with the HOWA emblem, installed Accubrake, and a Nikon Prostaff 3x – 9x BDC scope. It does not look like it’s been fired more than a very few times. The serial number starts with VS23XXXX. It has a three position safety. I have looked on Weatherby website at the owners manuals. The Vanguard manual shows a two position safety and the Vanguard2 shows a three position safety. So here is my question. Do I have the older Vanguard or the Vanguard2? Were three position safetys on some of the later Vanguards? Oh, by the way, it has the slicks, creep free, lightest trigger i've ever seen on a factory gun. Thanks for your input.
