Calibers

That runs from 223 Remington and 350 Legend to Weatherby Magnums such as the 257 and 300, so the caliber filter above the grid is the fastest way to narrow it down. The ammo section below lists the Weatherby ammo we have in the same calibers.
Scope bases, triggers and stocks
The Vanguard is built on the same action as the Howa 1500, so many bases, triggers and stocks are sold for both, and their titles say so. Bases come in short action and long action versions; match yours before you order. Shop the parts made for the Vanguard on this page, or every Weatherby scope mount we carry.
Vanguard, Mark V or Model 307
All three are Weatherby bolt actions. The Mark V is Weatherby's premium rifle, and the Model 307 is its newest action, built in Sheridan, Wyoming. The Vanguard is the lower priced line in our listings, and in-stock Vanguards start at $539.15 today.
