Dumb question, but can this rifle use scope mounts marketed for weatherby vanguard? It's the same thing right?

Yes, that's why it's only $499 If it was in a real caliber, it would be $799

Yes Weatherby Vanguards are manufactured by Howa. Just verify the action size

Getting one sent to my local Sportsman’s. I guess it’s time to start growing out the man bun.
It’s a great cartridge. Will put the smack down on deer and antelope.

At $499.00 it's still overpriced.

Well, it's just because that's my opinion. YMMV

Like I needed another gun… but too good to pass up and ordered it. Everything else in life is doubling in price and this is 1/2 off???? Fun for the range, manbun or not, it’s good for most antlered game, and perfect price for a backup or loaner.

Mounted my dad's old Pentax on it. Talley low mounts were perfect for this small scope. I think it will be a good combo. He shot plenty of deer through this glass.

If it only they did it in a 6 creedmoor with a 18 to 20 inch barrel i would order it.

That’s funny, I wish it was 24!
* Picked up the new rifle at the dealer today. I am very happy with it out of the box. Nice looking, light, fairly smooth bolt to start, seems to fit the niche equivalent of the Remington Mountain Rifle.

Sportsman’s Warehouse. Ordered processed and “Awaiting Shipment” from Day 1 of purchase. 5 days later order canceled, rifle no longer available. Today I got an email from Gunbroker notifying me that SW is sending me a refund. The credit is for a “Return” that is listed as “Other” for the reason.

They underprice it or have a change of heart about selling manbuns?

Regardless of opinions regarding calibers or brands, offering items for sale and not following through is not good business. On top of that, lying about it, stating to Gunbroker that I Returned it was the reason for the refund.
