Trigger is adjustable (travel and weight). I adjusted mine. A screwdriver is all it takes, maybe a little wrench for the locknut.
I have a Vanguard Sporter (walnut version) in .30-06. Love it. The action is very similar to Remington 700, but I like the Weatherby stock better, the price was far better, and the safety design is superior to Remington's newer ones. The scope mounts/rings are even the same as the ones you use on a 700.
Groups are just over MOA with off-the-shelf Winchester junk hunting ammo from Wal-Mart ($13 a box or something). I get the notion it'll shoot much better if I spend time and money on dialing in the ammo, but it's my deer rah-fuhl, not my target toy.
The barelled actions are outsourced, but they're made by Howa, which means they're top-notch. "Outsourced" isn't necessarily a bad word -- Weatherby contracts out all their barrelled actions AFAIK, and they're not sloppy about what they put their name on. It's not like they have a huge product line and can afford to make a few real dogs and still stay in business.
You can get the same actions with different stocks and different barrel lengths, or just get barreled actions from
http://www.legacysports.com/ However, like I said, I like the Weatherby comb, the nice walnut, and the 24" barrel on mine. Boyd's makes stocks for this action, though, so you can build one up yourself. It won't be cheaper, but it might be fun.
